flyfisher Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) We should all be careful of using the term "kettle lead" in case it's actually 'owned' by a kettle company. The original 'portakabin' company is famously touchy about people using the term generically to describe any sort of portable, er, cabin and Private Eye had great fun with them a few years ago, and still do occasionally. [url="http://adammacqueen.blogspot.com/2007/09/portakabin.html"]http://adammacqueen.blogspot.com/2007/09/portakabin.html[/url] Presumably "Hoover" has long since given up trying to stop their protected name being used generically, as in 'I hoover my floor with a Dyson' If, as mentioned earlier, 99% of people call a 3-pin IEC cable a 'kettle lead' then it's a kettle lead, in exactly the same way that my Henry vacuum cleaner is a 'hoover'. That's the way language works. Yes, it's a pedant's dream, but who ever admired anyone for being pedantic? Is it worth pointing out that almost everyone here refers to their "bass", which is stricly rather meaningless . . . . no, thought not. Edited May 25, 2011 by flyfisher Quote

wateroftyne Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) Has anyone got any experience with Tea Bag-End cabs? I'm just wondering if the way the grille is perforated lets the tone flow out uninhibited...? Edited May 26, 2011 by wateroftyne Quote

chrismuzz Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 I only found out they were called IEC leads 2 days ago. A bit late to answer your OP now, but I'd have said to just buy a cheap kettle from Argos Quote
NJW Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Is anyone gonna go as far as to clarify the difference between a 3 pin IEC 60906-1 and 60906-2 lead? Stick the kettle on, somebody... sigh. Quote
BigRedX Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 The IEC 60906 standard isn't the one we've been discussing here - it's something [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60906-1"]completely different[/url] Quote
