RE: Sensible prices.

I am always prepared more for things that do the job better - that's why I have costly speakers, amps, etc - but if a �5 gizmo does the same job as a �70 one, which should I choose? And which would you choose?

How one established the material they're made from I don't know! However to carry a mains current the one inch between the end of a cable and the pin in the socket in the equipment can't be rocket science and the amplifier sound shouldn't be adversely affected as long as it conducts electricity!

An inspection of the IEC plugs I bought from this vendor a few years ago shows they're obviously not unsafe. All the metal parts are adequately secured in sturdy plastic and the screws lighten well.
