Re: Philips N4450
For what it’s worth, when I was using my N4450 regularly it was connected to a Goodmans 1-10 which had a three core cable and thus earthed through the mains. I have a vague feeling that when the recorder was not connected to another piece of equipment there was that tingling feeling when brushing the back of a finger against the metalwork. This disappeared when connected to the 1-10.
I would agree with Philips and retain the two core cable.
Oddly for the next generation of Philips’ machines (N4504/6) two core cable was retained but the figure-of-eight connector was used. I wonder what criteria manufacturers use to determine whether a removable or captive mains cable is fitted?
