DIY Mains block - Joining 6 IECs to one point...

[Gazjam]

Wee bit of a different scenario?

Balanced mains transformer power supply..
Heard the benefits in my system, getting one delivered.
My mains are crap so will clean things up a lot.

BACKGROUND INFO:
Hard wiring my system to one of THESE:
http://www.airlinktransformers.com/s...1-BPS2020.html (with RCBO protection on the secondary power leg)

4 bits of kit hardwired to balanced trannie; Valve amp, Young Dac, Music sever (PC) and plasma TV.

It will be wired up like this:
Wall Socket -> "Mains cable" -> Input terminals of balanced supply

Output terminals of balanced supply -> "mains cable" -> 60A JUNCTION BOX (HARDWIRE IEC MAINS LEADS FROM EQUIPMENT INTO IT) -> Hifi Kit.


QUESTION:
For the "Junction Box"(To enable hardwiring..eliminate as many fuses as possible!) will something like THIS be ok?

THINKING THIS JUNCTION BLOCK WONT ACCOMODATE 5 OR 6 SEPERATE IEC CABLES FROM MY KIT THOUGH?
READ UP ABOUT THE NAIM HYDRA...GOOD PRINCIPLE BUT THAT TERMINATES IN A 3 PIN PLUG, I WISH TO CONNECT TO THE OUTPUT TERMINALS ON THE TRANSFORMER.

ALL WORK WILL BE CARRIED OUT BY A SPARK, SO NO WORRIES.



Also,
CHOICE OF MAINS CABLE BETWEEN WALL > BALANCED TRANNIE > DISTRIBUTION BOX

I have lots of Lapp Oflex CY Classic cable I was thinking to use...

but I wonder if theres any milage in going for any other cable apart from the Lapp?
Thinking:

or

or even (as I only need a couple of metres) Furutech or Oyaide!

Any links to DIY builds of similar or info greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Sounds like a bad idea because it is dangerous to bypass fuses and especially dangerous to try and fit multiple cables into one terminal block. The transformer will do the improvement, not the eliminating of life saving fuses and sensible cable fixing. Just think, every single part on a circuit board is basically fixed using a plug (pin) and socket (PCB hole), so if you really want to make sure everything is connected well, just solder the wires to the plug pins as well as using the screw clamp.

Be safe - use a plug!!

Also, for God's sake don't remove fuses if you don't have an RCD.

Thanks.
Have an RCD and my Balanced Transformer has MCB protection on the Input and RCBO on the output.
It will be plugged into the wall with a fused plug.

Giess its down to making a distribution block coming from the TX vs hardwiring...

That sounds well protected. Seems fair enough to me in that case; hardwiring kit soon becomes incredibly inconvenient though. BT, DT...

ETA: These days I suspect I'd lean towards something solid and industrial, like an Olsen block or equivalent with short, hardwired feed, into which everything else can plug at your convenenience. Your choice though.
