Thanks for reply, Kenster. I live in Russia where the fire codes (requirements) ara also strict but easily neglected by people. We are just sort of "constructed" this way. I have changed all the wiring in my apartment which was alluminium! to a very good copper one without consulting the fire inspector or the house owner. Now I am the owner of my apartment and none gives a **** what I do there if I am not removing basic carrying walls, a balcony and things like that. I also believe, it is not dangerous, because the line is dedicated, besides insurance is not an issue in my case. I also think that the cord can be saved after all. It is 2 meters (>6 feet) long top of the line Furutech fp alpha-3 DIY snake that I can easily sacrifice an inch or two of when removing. After all it is only 200$ worth and the price of Oyaide receptacle + their beautiful outlet cover is twice more. Also I will have a free Furutech male plug from my pc which is another 100$.
So, if it is good for my system, I guess it is worth to try.

Hell, I say go for it then!!I tried the connection with wire nuts and with solder and the soldered connection was better. Just remember if U do use solder, to either use heavy duty heatshrink over the connections or at the very least, electrical tape.
Also, clean the bare solid core copper wire ends with 2000 grit sandpaper before soldering. And while your at it, put a ferrite clamp on each leg, orienting each for the least amount of noise.
Let us know how it turns out,
Hi kenster,Ferrite clamps on each leg may well lower the noise but shirley it increases the inductance of the cable ... and higher L on a PC (just as with a speaker cable) is undesirable bcoz it opposes the current flowing?
Or is my reasoning screwed?
Regards,
Sorry, I really do not know what it is, though I know it somehow reduces some sort of noise/interference and is used on PCs. Also, where do normal people usually buy or "get" it?
Serge.
P.S. Remodelling/treatment adventure is scheduled for January.
Basically, a ferrite clamp will filter out RFI noise from a cable it is clamped around.These can be bought at most electronic supply houses or on-line.
Cheers,

How do you know which direction is correct??
By rotating the clamps in relation to each other.When I had them in place, they would physically vibrate but by twisting them in very small increments in relation to each other, I could stop the vibration(s).
If one does not want to go to this extreme, just placing a clamp around the Earth GND wire will be beneficial.
Cheers,
Thank you, Kenster. Though I have never seen such a beast on sale, I shall call our wire/electrics supply company and order a couple. Hope they have them, otherwise, on-line is the only option.
