Not enough outlets

I always plug my Ayre amp and Cambridge Audio streamer/DAC directly into the wall outlets.  I have a single duplex outlet behind my equipment rack and since I have just two components, that is enough.  However, recently I decide to try better power cables (Audio Envy) than the OEM cables that I was using.  Unfortunately those plugs are large enough that if I use the AE power cable for one component, the plug for the second AE cable doesn't fit (there is just not enough room).  

So I am contemplating two options:

1. Use the AE cord for my amplifier and just use OEM for my streamer

2. Get some kind of a strip and plug both my amplifier and streamer into it...I understand that many strips can interfere with power delivery so I'm concerned this may affect the dynamics of my system

Thoughts and advice?

Why not buy a Puritan audio line conditioner then you can plug what you want into it ,I don’t recommend plugging a streamer into the wall unless you have very good surge protection at your breaker box which I do as well as a dedicated 20 amp        4 wire common ground and a insulated isolated ground ,and your outlet absolutely needs to be a quality gold or rhodium over copper outlet ,not the Huge bottleneck j$1 outlet that comes with the house which is a Huge bottleneck !!
