Building a Power Strip, any advise?

Ozzy, how secure are the recptacles with only the single center screw holding them in the box?

They seem to be very tight. But, I did puchase some nice stainless steel screws to hold them in.

Tpreaves… I was thinking the same thing. I have Oyaide R1 receptacles and with their iron grip, I can assure you something would snap if only the center screw was holding the outlet. The Oyaide WPC-Z receptacle cover addresses that issue in its engineering to mount the receptacle to the aluminum casework and subsequently using different screws mount the aluminum case to the outlet box. On the Oyaide WPC-Z, the center screw is only used to attach the very cool eye candy black carbon fiber faceplate that hides the mounting screws.

I think it would be simple enough to DYI drill holes in order to mount the receptacle by its end tabs.

Raks, that’s another problem.
The outlet tabs need to be bent over to be placed in position inside the chassis. The outlet strip is made in such a way that the mounting of the outlet fits down into a recessed machined cut out. I purchased longer than usual stainless screws for the center screw.
I agree though that attaching the tabs to the chassis would have been my proffered mounting method.

Well, I’ve got the power strips completed and I have posted some pictures of them on “my system".

Because the outlet tabs need to be bent over to fit in my aluminum cases I did not place the Oyaide and Maestro in them. Those outlets were placed into single DIY outlet strips? To perhaps better understand as to what that is, please look at the pictures. Both of these "single" strips are used before my Audience aRtp2-TO power conditioners using separate dedicated circuits.

So, far the only strip still burning in is the aluminum 8 outlet strip.

So here are my impressions of the outlets in the system thus far.

The Oyaide R1 sounded a little thin and ragged when first plugged in after just a few days on the cable cooker, so I put it back on the cooker for another 9 days. Once reinstalled into my system it has blossomed into a great sounding outlet that is currently in use with my digital equipment.

The Maestro outlet was also cooked, but only for a few days. It sounded very nice right away and is being used with my Analog equipment.

Yesterday, after about 5 days of burn in, I tried the 4 outlet Aluminum strip with Synergistic Tesla SE outlets with my Pass Labs Preamp and my BSG Qol unit. Quite an improvement over what I had been using. (A cheapo 3 way tap)

As stated previously, the 8 outlet aluminum strip with all Audience Cryoed outlets is still burning in and should be ready this week end for audition.

So far I can conclude that each step has improved the sound quality, in such ways as more dyanmics, better bass quality and a general smoothness that is so very nice.
After I get the final 8 outlet burned in I will be able to move all of these units around and see how they perform on my various pieces of equipment.
