Multi-Outlet with NO Conditioning


Hello All -

I need more outlets on my dedicated line! I am looking for an "outlet strip" (or box) that offers 8 outlets. The dedicated line will already have upstream conditioning (balanced power, MOV's for voltage surge protection), so all I really need are the outlets. Are there any commercial products that are not to spendy that would fit the bill? Or should I just buy 4 Porter Ports, some good wire and plugs, and make my own?

Suggestions welcome please!

The Juice Bar is a good one. I use the Furutech eTP-60, but it only has 6 outlets.
Chris vanHaus has a couple of no fluff units (a four and a six) go to:

My suggestion is to add at least several more dedicated lines to go with those 8 outlets to separate the digital noise (cdp, dac) from analog components, to ensure your amplifier has enough juice, and to keep from overloading the circuit and burning down the house.

Put the amp on one dedicated line, all digital on the second dedicated line, and preamp, turntable, etc. on the third dedicated line.

-IMO
Stehno: It's quite probable that Peter has chosen to run an aftermarket device that won't allow multiple dedicated lines without sacrificing what he feels are the benefits of that device. He does mention balanced power with surge suppression and noise filtering, so i would assume that he's simply trying to share the output of one larger aftermarket AC device amongst the entire system chain.

If such is the case, running dedicated lines from this device would achieve nothing that a high grade power strip wouldn't do. That's because all of the internally generated noise would still congregate at the same feedpoint. As such, so long as there isn't any form of current limiting going on, adding additional lines would achieve nothing but higher cost and increased system complexity.

Peter: I would second the recommendation of Chris VH at VH Audio. Albert can also make you some type of AC junction box using his Porter Ports. While Chris specifies what he uses in terms of wiring in the construction of his on the VH Audio website, you would probably have to contact Albert to find out the specifics of what he offers. Both of these would be no-frills units in terms of cosmetics, but would get the job done in a very efficient manner. Both of these guys are complete gentleman and you won't find anyone nicer to deal with. I'm quite certain that if you wanted to, either would sell you the necessary parts to build your own power strip built to your own spec's. Most parts could also be picked up at a local hardware store. If you go that route, make certain to use heavy gauge cabling and outlets / plugs that offer solid grip, both on the internal wiring and their mating external connections. Sean
