You could buy a mains cable 'only' for more than the cost of a BMU...

It must be antipathy to me that stops these flying out the door like hot cakes. Or maybe they are too cheap

Received the loan BMU so as promised a quick initial impression. First up I thought it was going to be heavier than it is although it still feels like there a couple of bricks inside. At the moment its sited on the floor but it would be possible to to fit onto the rack were the Russ Andrews block now sits. First thing, on powering up the power amp it tripped a switch, which shut down the sky box even though that is plugged into a different wall socket on the other side of the room. After getting everything up and running again only two sockets were used, one for the Rossini and one for the AR power amp. Only a couple of tracks were auditioned since time was getting on but it was felt a more relaxed feel to the music came across. I wouldn't say more detail, but Alison Krauss's voice seemed to have more feeling. At present the BMU is in use and will be until the weekend when it will be swopped over for the RA block and maybe a better idea then. Hopefully I will be able to give a better review when time is not of the essence.

Plug the RA block into the BMU!!!

What is a RA Block, is it filters.

Were hoping to sell this if it was decided to purchase the BMU. Doc would you please verify if we should be plugging the RA block into the BMU since I can remember you recommending only the most simple of extensions to be used if needing more sockets. At present 3 sockets are all thats needed.

It is just a *ridiculously* priced mains extension block with a spike clamp, which is only useful for computers. Use it or don't use it, it is nothing but an extension block that you can get good ones for £20. £500 is a ludicrous rip-off, how could you have bought it.

There are more ludicrous things, just seen this on AoS as an example https://walkeraudio.com/shop/crystal/ how can anyone buy these things.

The simple answer is it sounded better than plugging into a wall socket with a simple mains or Audio Works extension. As you always say let your ears be the judge.
