Oh...and only 2 4x4's with 4 plugs each on their own GRCI prior to a 20 amp breaker, 4 & 16 ft. from the 200amp panel with room to grow.

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?

If you go with a strip take a look at the Wiremold L10320. It is/was the only power strip recommended by Naim. It has no power filtering, no on/off switch and no breaker. It’s just a well made extension with nothing in the way which is what you want for amplifiers. If you want, you can opt for the fancier SuperWiremold version sold through AV Options. From what I can tell it’s a L10320 that has been cryo treated , a wood base added and what looks like a Wattgate connector. I own 2 of the regular ones, one plugged into a Bryston Bit-20 and the other into a PS Audio HC something or other (can’t remember the name). Anyway, I hear absolutely zero difference with them in or out of the loop |
My humble suggestion is the Parts Connexion extension kit. I like it for two reasons:
