I am soon going to be departing from my good quality mains and will be having to rely upon something altogether less satisfactory. To make myself feel better about this, I am looking to find a sensibly priced mains distribution board.
Some background - I have never really seen or heard vast differences with 'good' mains cables. However, I have seen degredation with bad ones. Hence I want middle ground, solidly engineered with grounding in physics and not snake oil! I guess I will be looking for something with 6 or more sockets which will power the plasma/amps/dvd etc (not the hairdryer!). The other key is that I do not want to go spending more than £100 on it.
I of course know of Russ Andrews, but most of the products are more than I would be willing to spend. I do see I could get a 6-way powerlink, but does anyone know if it is any good? I look around and I see piles of other options, but they frequently seem rather expensive and thus way beyond my budget.
A further question is whether I should worry at all. One can buy a Belkin multi distribution board for £20/30, now at this price it is not good but I imagine it is not that bad, is that fair or is that money paying for cheap tat with a brand name?
Oh- I would be happier buying 2nd hand if possible, no point my taking the depreciation if someone else can do it for me!
Many thanks
