Ah - there's an international variation there. Here in the UK, as I'm sure you know, we have 3 pin plugs that have a fuse built into them on the live (hot) side, so it's quite hard to electrocute yourself.
The only occasion on which it's normally possible to swap live & neutral is on equipment that has a non-earthed 'figure 8' plug, as a lot of hi-fi kit does, and in those cases it's quite safe to plug it in either way round as the kit has to be double insulated anyway. That's the case I was thinking of, sorry for any confusion. -- AndyC_772 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndyC_772's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36626 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
