Is there such a thing as a high end audiophile ..?

Is there such a thing as a high end audiophile outlet adapter? An adpater that plugs into the outlet and then outputs three more outlets. I need more outlets from my line conditioner but i dont feel like buying another one or buying a ps audio juice bar etc... I would think that an outlet "expander" would be the least deteriorative way to expand outlets cheaply... I thought i saw a cryo treated one somewhere on this site but i might be mistaken because i cant seem to find it again. Anybody have any suggestion? This could save me a lot of money! Thanks a lot - lordgorian

I was going to say the Juice Bar, but you've already rejected it. Wireworld makes a similar product that sells for $39 at AudioAdvisor. It is called the "Electrifier". I have no experience with it.

If adding another circuit is too much trouble, you can always just add another wall outlet on the same circuit.

There is also the "PAC-IDOS" power strip. It is not a conditioner or surge protector, so it should not do anything negative adding it to your setup. It is basically a digital issolation strip.

JPS Labs makes a power center at three levels the highest is a Kaptovator outlet center which is very pricey, the middle is a power center (I think) and the lowest is a GPA power center. They are essentially high quality outlet strips with an integrated high end power cord. check them out at www.jpslabs.com

Check audioadvisor.com. They have a power strip that might suit you, but as for an "audiophile" quality, I don't think it counts. PS Audio's Juice Bar would be the only one I know of that's "audiophile" quality.

Can't find it in the mapleshade catalog? I wish there was just an adaptor somewhere... Oh and its not that i dont want to run more circuits etc... i dont want to buy another line conditioner. This way all of my components can be conditioned. Thanks

I made my own box. Go to your local home improvement store and buy the metal box, a couple of hospital grade outlets, a cover plate, and whatever length of 12/3 wire and a heavy duty plug end. I even made one with a switch so two outlets are switched and two powered all the time. If you wanted it to look nice you could buid a nice looking wood box to mount it in. I don't remember all the prices but I would guess around 25.00 for everything plus your time.

Wireworld Electrafier strip is available from Cable Company cheap - about $35 with IEC input. Does not come with any cord because you use your own choice.
