Hi Folks Having thought about it a bit, I reckon that this particular item is probably a "spoof", or just an artistic impression concept model (God help someone if it is anything more!)
BTW - The Nebula site appears to be in the USA: It gives the mailing address as "nebulæ c/o Porcelain Vortex 5042 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 350 Los Angeles, CA 90036 U.S.A." However, it does raise quite a few important points and that has prompted an "interesting" set of comments from various eople, and does raise a point of professional ethics: If we, as regulatory safety professionals, encounter something like this which seems to be highly dangerous, then what should we do? - Nothing? - Tell the advertiser/supplier? - Tell the authorities in the countries concerned? - Tell the EU Commission if relevant? - Tell the "world"?

AFAIK, there IS no safety standard for 'universal adapters', so a Notified Body should have been involved. I hope the product has been brought to the attention of the appropriate authority. >Maybe I am missing something, but does having CE Marking somehow extend an> invisible shield around the product, akin to one or more levels of >protection?!? Yes. of course. It's very powerful juju. (;-) -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
