2 gang extension lead

[RobbieGong]

I'm after a 'decent' 2 gang /2 way extension lead but struggling to find anything.

Simple plug in and plug in is what I'm after so something with 2 good unswitched sockets, good power lead cable and plug.

It will plug into an unswitched wall socket and then take my tt's power supply and cd player.

I dont want filter/conditioning or power surge protection.

Does anyone know of anything or able to make something suitable for purchase ?

As I say, just needs to be as above and of decent quality as I dont want to be cutting / soldering wires on the amp or cdp for IEC connectors, hard wiring or anything technical like that ....

Help me please :)

RA PowerBar any good ? anybody used/using one ?

I made my own using a two-way extension block purchased off the internet and some good quality screened copper cable with a decent plug. Bit of work but easy enough to do.

Thanks John,

I think I need some power cord recommendations too (nothing long 0.5m is ample ..)

Take a look at MCRU. Sold by the metre I believe.

Ah ok, no worries. Next time though, the Olsen blocks in particular really deliver on SPPV.

This is timely. I'm now refitting the units in my room after the plastering and have chance to upgrade the sockets I installed some years before.

[Marco]

No worries, mate. The Olsen and Canford stuff is superb!:)
