WTB: In Line IEC Mains Filter

Hi folks,
I'm new here and I thought I'd start off on the front foot by placing this WTB.

Wanted:
In-Line IEC Mains Filter

It seems Mains Cables R Us make some good quality stuff and I'm hoping someone might have a spare they don't use.
This is the type I'm talking about:

I'm open to other brands of course, but I'm not familiar with others.
It'll be used in front of my old Quad 66 CD Player, which I'm hoping will benefit from cleaner mains.

Postage to Australia, which I'm prepared to cop.

Thanks,
Ben

Found.
Bought one locally - see signature.

Strange site that. Can't see how you buy anything, or an explanation of the filter, nor any price?

Rob,
The guy (Mark) is active on Stereonet (an Aussie forum). He makes the odd item here and there at people's request and sometimes puts his amplifier/speaker creations up for sale as well.
His DC blocker incorporates an EMI/RFI filter.

I was wondering what the purpose of the bridge rectifier was in there?

I cant see any pics of inside?

If its a dc blocker then it may be there to protect the caps

It's part of the DC blocker function, along with the two electrolytic caps.

The proprietary black cased filter at the input (R of pic) is AC (I am assuming it is the same as those I have used in the past) the BR appears to have 2 of it's terminals bridged with the live connected across the bridge. Am I right to assume that the outgoing voltage is AC, if so what is the bridge doing?

Rob, I'm stupid, but there's a thread about it here:
