I need a good quality outlet strip or box with no breakers, power conditioning or anything else.
PS audio used to make the Juice Bar and I think Cardas used to have something as well.
Looking for a product like that, or even just an empty box with space for 4-5 duplexes and I can build my own.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

You could go the DIY route, ala the follow URLs as examples:

Find a similar type of outlet at your local hardware store, and remove the el-cheapo duplex outlets, and replace them with some Pass & Seymour 5242-I outlets, as well as the similar 5262, and 5252, also available at many hardware stores, for around $7-8 each.
OR get a commercial grade/heavy-duty type strip ala:

OR get an all ready to go medical grade outlet, with duplex outlets that are a cut above the el-cheapo outlets in cheap strips, see:
http://brookspower.com/medicalgrade-power-strips.html as an example.
I am not specifically recommending the Brooks power, it was just a convenient example I Googled.

Will this do? More expensive than most others that were suggested, but it is in Canadian dollars
I gots me one of these: BPT PPC
Nice build quality from a reputable cos. Reviewed at 6 moons- for what its worth.
I also use this!
I use this one!
The Wiremold L10320 is a good basic power strip. Nine outlets with no filters, switches or breakers. Series rather than parallel wiring so the order in which you plug things in may make a difference.
Back when I bought one years ago it was $30.00 which was a good deal. I see that the price has now jumped to $90.01 on the Allied Electronics website at the link below.
I have a Wiremold strip as well. Not expensive, as these things go. I believe it was the strip recommended by Naim for its gear. I got it from Gene Rubin Audio, who is a Naim dealer.

I noticed a few "heavy-duty" powerstrips on the shelves at Home Depot the other day. I don't know how they *sound*. The stouter looking ones were made by Tripplite, I believe.Or, DIY. You can easily find "hospital grade" outlets, blank boxes, and 12g wire online or at any electrical supply store.

I would DIYY one if I could find a cabinet like the BPT one pictured above.
DIY could easily end up costing you more money than you might expect. If I were you, I'd probably grab one of those heavy gauge used outlet strips on ebay and upgrade the receptacles later on at my convenience.If you do buy a pre-built one, try to find one with "series" internal wiring as in the Wiremold powerstrip recommended above. If you have trust in yourself, it might be possible to bypass the breaker or on/off switch in the AC path if the powerstrip you find has either of those things.

I went with the Furman. B&H had a really good price
Here is one.
I have one just like it with a 12 gauge cord in black.
And it's the cheapest box if you wanted to get upgrade it that you could buy.

If so, it would be easy to just tap off those lines and install more duplexes off the main feed. Just cut a hole in the wall next to the outlet and fish over some romex to an old work electrical box and buy some good outlets.

No Rod, I don't have dedicated power. Good idea though.
WireWorld has a power strip that looks good and is reasonable . See link and scroll near the bottom of the page.
That could work as long as they don't charge too much for it.
The Cable Co has it listed at $120.
