Y power cable for Monoblocks


In the comming days I will receive a pair of new monoblocks. But I have a small problem, I do not have enough wall sockets to plug all my gear into.

I currently have a surge protector in which all my sources are plugged in. And my ss integrated is plugged straight in the wall.

I would prefer to plug the tube monoblocks directly into the wall sockets as well. But with only one socket available I end up with a problem.

As a solution I figured I could get a "Y" power cable, with plug for the wall socket and two connectors one for each amp.

Is this wise? What other options should I consider?

Watch the power cord guage sometimes they are 16 or 18 guage. Basically you want 12 guage. As far as conditioners you need to try them and see if how they effect the sound sometimes it good sometimes bad. Panamax makes some cheap one $50-100 used I had luck with saved my equipnment once it also will provide basic filtertion and surge protection. But I would just use a good power strip or a power conditioner.
