Good power strip in Europe, no filters?

[Kutusov]

Hi, apparently this isn't an easy one. I'm looking for a 4 to 6 plug power strip with an aluminium case and proper star wiring, not those brass rails a lot of them have. No filters or other bells and whistles. Closest thing I came across is the made to order Audiophonics ones that are over €400 and takes 2 to 4 weeks to ship, which is understandable because that's a guy soldering and wiring the thing. I bet it takes quite a while...

Still, I was wondering if there are other places to consider. I'm aware of the Wireworld Matrix 2 but that one looks a bit rubbish to be honest.

I'd imagine you could find something suitable here;

Thanks but I was looking for something in Europe, just not to deal with the customs guys. Ideally, I wouldn't even want any fuses or surge protection in it also...

I have a lot of gear so I use with great success the Isotek Corvus; it's very convenient, 9 independent outlet, fully star-earthed and it's 16A.

Thanks guys!

What I'm after is something internaly like this:

As you can see, every outlet is directly wired with good electric cable and without having to share power in series with another socket. I would have to check with the seller what's on the other side of that first board sort of thing, because that's where a filter is usually set.

What I'm trying to avoid is how most power distributers are built and here's an example... sockets in series fed by brass bars:

@fenrik I am curious about that Supra power strip, I've been trying to find a picture of their insides. Most my cables are from Supra and I really like that company and their products.

Why?
What do you hope to achieve?

Pure snake oil and a rip off.

Pretty ballsy to recommend that BS to other members here.

Why? How much current are you planning on pulling through the poor thing?

I hope the fuses in your house installation do their job long before brass bars in your power strips becomes a problem.

How would these make any difference? (I am genuinely curious if I am missing something).
Also, I think the neutral wires in a home installation end up sharing a brass bar at the breaker panel. Like this (photo from the net):

sockets in series fed by brass bars:

It is not in series but connected in parallel and is exactly the same as the connection made in the previous picture.

 

[AudiOhm]

Buss bar or wire, there is no difference if the gauge is the same.

All the receptacles in any device will be in parallel.

If you do not want any filters/bells/whistles then what you are looking for is an extension cord with 4-6 outlets...

I you want the "Star point" at the fuse box you can uses what we call "plubox" in the industry.

Each Outlet (or 2 outless per line) has its Owen channel and fuse so you can draw 6*230*16= 22kW from this thing.

The box with the fuses is extra...

If you want 6 shuko plugs but you don't want them to be in "parallel" it makes no sens to have shuko plug on the input you need at least Cee 32

Thank you for your kind words!
I know it is snake oil. I know it is a waste of money. I also know it is exactly what the original poster asked for.
So instead of being a total Karen (this is me being extremely polite) in my direction, you could have explained to the OP that using a powerstrip like that will not make any difference to the sound whatsoever, and come up with an alternative that suits his needs perfectly.

Thanks guys, I already found what I was looking for
