Looking for a Balanced Mains Unit - anyone selling before I buy new?
Airlink 1500/2000 rated one would do nicely, or any other make would be considered.
UK Plug/Sockets.

No-one selling Mikey, a sure sign nobodies unhappy with their purchase?
From personal experience...just get one mate.
At least a 2000 Airlink one, higher the rating the lower the impedance.
Its one of those fit n forget purchases, hardwired option is better as no fuses.
AC POWER
Hardwired 10kVA balanced mains powering entire system
AMPS
Meridian 557 power Amp (Modded) / PS Audio BHK Preamp (Modded)
SPEAKERS
Wharfedale Evo 4.4
DAC
PS Audio Directstream (Modded)
TURNTABLE
Pro-Ject X8 balanced output via XLR / Ortofon Quintet Blue cartridge
PHONOSTAGE
Pro-Ject DS3 B balanced Input (TT and Phonostage powered by Pro-Ject Power box RS2 linear psu)
DIGITAL
OPPO 203 (Modded: Linear PSU, i2s output to Dac) - Roon Endpoint, HDMI input used for all things Streaming/ PS5 /AppleTV ... also good for movies apparently?
MUSIC PLAYBACK
Tweaked AP-Linux based Roon Server into Oppo 203 as Roon endpoint
Ipad Roon Remote.
Apple Music/ YouTube via AppleTV, fed to Dac via Oppo HDMI input/i2s output to Dac.
SPEAKER CABLES
Biwired: Duelund DCA10GA (Bass) Duelund DCA16GA (mid & treble) Duelund 12DCA used as jumpers (On "Blackcat Cable" Chris Sommivigo's advice - yup, even with biwire it sounds better - and it does)
INTERCONNECTS
All Balanced: Ghost+ recording studio XLR cables

Yeah, it's a hopeful wanted thread, can't think of seeing many, if any for sale over the last couple of years.Originally Posted by Gazjam

I'm mark.
There was one for sale on the Wam couple of months ago, but as suggested they seem to work as described (it's silenced a pair of 700 va transformers at mine).
One of the very few items I'd actually buy new and think of being good value.
Airlink do discounts for multiples, maybe an option for a group buy?

Been looking at these but they don't seem to do any with more than 3 outlet plugs, which I presume would mean I need 2.
Modded td160 super Thorens ol encounter arm hana sl cart, angle audio studio pro mc virtual battery phono amp with separate psi, Onix pre and mono amps, Onix CD player, Onix BWD and soap tuner. B&W dm2 speakers or super pencil 12 speakers, atlas cables, seperate mains power supply with earth spike.

Just plug in a mains block.
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

Yip, that's what I'll have to do if I go the Airlink route.
