Tidying up power cables

I have been tidying up my "AV corner" and have tidied away all my interconnects etc inside my lovely new Spectral stand but and am left with an ugly trailing socket and power leads.
Does anybody know of any neat 4 or 6 gang 13a trailing sockets - perhaps with some form of cover, that cover-up all the plugs, leaving one with just a neat "box" effect, into which the power feed and various component power leads dissapear?
Many thanks.

Re: Tidying up power cables

Thank you for that.
That tackles the cables going from the components to the sockets.
Now I just need to find a neet extension socket unit - preferably a boxed in one.
If anybody had an ideas on that, that would be great!

Keep power cables away from signal cables!

Re: Tidying up power cables

power cables should be kept away from signal cables if they are the ones supplied by the o.e.m which have no shielding, if not then in my system and other mates I have, it makes no difference, I am using black rhodium fusion mains cables and kimber and they seem to do a good job of filtering out the mains nasties and signals interfering with each other, I have found it virtually impossible to keep them all seperate anyway due to the location of each component on the AV stand , it all ends up as spaghetti behind the stand, I may try the RA solution, I was mistaken about that piece of kit, it was in a brochure they post out not the website although by now it may be on the website, I am sure if you phone them they will know what you want
