I am in need of, for lack of another term, an audiophile quality power strip (6-8 plug). Now with ca. 25 grand invested in my audio system, perhaps there is something out there that could better the power management of my old Archer power strip? Due to system placement, only one 2-plug outlet is accessible, thus the need for the strip. I've been reading up/comparing the likes of the PS Audio Juice Bar, Blue Circle Music Bar, Oyiade, Opus Blue Research Tech, and Auralsymphonics strips, among others. Trying to avoid any coloring/limiting of sound - just clean and safe. Comparative advice and recommendations are very much appreciated- thank you.

I've only done some research due to my desire to upgrade my system, but the Eichmann eXpress AC Power Enhancing Cable ($290/2m)and Eichmann eXpress Power Strip ($50)from Parts Connexion are very well reviewed and appear to be good values - these are what I'm going to go with. I read somewhere that the guy who owns Bel Canto uses the Eichmann AC cable in his home system...
I own the Eichmanns and they are a distant second to the VHAudio hotbox for $219 even with brass wattgates.Add gold Furutech plugs and receptacles for a total of $359 and the result is a phenomenal power strip (remember the price includes a Flavor 4 cord). Hold off on that purchase and read the reviews .
the Pure Power Center w/Oyaide's has been great in my system.
I tried and did AB testings on different brand of power strips and conditioners.. ISOCLEAN is the way to go! With it, you don't need close your eyes or ask your wife to prove the sonic result. You plug it in and play, you hear the sonic improvement instantly. With other brands, I need to close my eyes, listen very carefully, and get someone to co-prove the improvement if there is any..
I also tried different brands of PC as well, ISOCLEAN is the top 3 PCs. ISOCLEAN super focus is right between Virtual Dynamics Revelation and Shunyata Anangonda in my system...

The VH Audio Hot box. No filtration just great construction and sound.http://www.vhaudio.com/powerstrips.html
There some other ones listed at the site (which I also have), but my preference is the Hot box.
I use the Blue Circle BC 606 and find it excellent with out any coloration and does not limit any current for amps.

although I have no personal experience with any of them.
