I've had this for around 4 years now but I'm in serious change mode right now so it's up for sale. List price is £2200/€3000, looking for £850, either collected or plus postage.
It's in silver, has six UK plugs and an earthing point, and I have the original box.
The Thor is build for Nordost by (proper) mains specialist Isotek, and is based on the highly-regarded Isotek Sigmas, uses Isotek's proprietary passive filtering (which doesn't limit dynamics), with some additional Nordost gubbins inside including all-Vahalla wiring and a 'Quantum' field generator which sell for about £1k on their own.
Nordost gets a hard time in some places (which shall remain nameless) for their mains cable pitch, and indeed after I bought this I went through a phase where I tried their mains cables - heard no difference when I took them out, but the mains box stayed as it saw off any other sanely (and some insanely) priced mains kit I tried in cleaning things up in my location.
