Maybe you guys can help me, i'm looking for something i saw ages ago but i've scoured the net and can't find it... It's a mains splitter which works by plugging into the mains socket and then rather than plugging the plugs from equipment into outputs like a multiplug; you take the plugs off the equipment and hardwire them into the outputs of the splitter.

I have 13 plugs to power at the moment which is getting too messy for my liking :steam:

I really need to sort out my cabling lol... i'm surprised i don't have some major noise floor problems :scratch:

Got these yesterday, and they are great! I can honestly recommmend them from the link john gave above. They arrived quickly and they are a doddle to use, took no time at all to get all plugged up. As most sane people would expect, they sound the same :ner: but they look much better

Very tidy, I can imagine a few people would find that kind of thing useful.
