Power Distribution for Devialet

[samurai7595]

What are you using for power distribution to your Devialet integrated amp?

I'm thinking of getting the AudioQuest Niagara 1000 unit:

I have a dedicated spur with 16A klangmodule and a 3G4kvmm cable that goes directly in to a Ansuz Mainz 8D, from that I have two Ansuz Mainz POM cables to my D400.

Dedicated 20 amp supply, one per mono block.

I have a dedicated ring main for the hifi using standard cabling. Everything is plugged into it.

Using Acoustic Revive 2 outlet power distributor, one for each 400 box, which are connected to Isoclean outlets.  The outlets are connected to dedicated 20 amp circuits wired to an audio device only breaker box, 6 dedicated circuits, directly adjacent to the electric service meter.

As noted previously, I am using Synergistic Devialet Spec power cords from the Acoustic Revive distributors to the Devialets.  I have also installed augmented grounding, including timed moisture application to the area around the ground rods.  Taken as a whole I am well satisfied with the results.

I have Silver Circle Audio Pure Power One 5.0 that my Devialet 400(s) are plugged into. I had it for my previous tube pre amp/amp based system, thought maybe I could unload it with the arrival of the Devialets, but after listening to system after pulling it out I had to put the darn thing back in as it sounded better when it was in the system.

The Regen has gone by bye bye, as has the LH LightSpeed USB 10g cable. On a holding pattern for a Roon/AIR solution via ethernet or if I grow weak the microRendu, which I prefer not to add as I don't have a local ethernet connection and prefer not to add another router or other such device to my house.

I run a dedicated mains circuit which is completely separate from the rest of house 

No fancy cables - including stock power chord

Being a qualified (some 40 years now) electrical engineer, i pushed the boat out and install an Airlink balance transformer. Prior to this i installed a separate metal clad distribution board, and ran 16mm swa cable to the transformer. The transformer output is protected with a
10 Ma rcd and double pole 16a Type b mcb's, all from the MK range, sockets from this are un switched Mk logic metal clad.
I have found this to be by far one of the best improvements i have made to any of my systems used over the years.
Cost me approx £1000.00 for all the kit, but obviously a qualified electrician would be required to do the install.

That seems like much better value than bespoke Audiophile solutions.
I had a look at the Airlink website. Could you use one of the Airlink filtering transformers just off a 13a mains socket? I did completely rewire my house but in the chaos of the refurb didnt even think to spec a separate hifi spur despite it being really easy to do at that time and now dont want to rip the floor up again - at least not until they need redoing!

Based on advice I'd read in several places, I changed the double socket closest to the hifi from a cheap switched one to a (barely less cheap - still under a tenner) unswitched MK one, and it made..... bugger all difference - apart from not being able to cut the power without pulling the plug out which is actually a bit annoying IMO. If anything, it also seems to have less grip on the plug than the original (unbranded from what I can tell - whatever trade stuff the electricians used), so it may well be a 'worse' connection. But then the screws that hold all the wires in the consumer unit aren't very big either.....

I ran a separate shielded cable from a 30A fuse on the consumer unit, terminated with MK unswitched sockets. Didn't I read somewhere on the forum that it's better to have amps plugged into different circuits? When they were plugged into the same ring main, the sound stage collapsed.
