Lindy mains conditioner: Cleans filthy power

You may not know it, but your electricity is dirty. Very, very dirty. Lindy has the solution to this problem you never knew existed -- an amazingly practical six-way power adaptor with built-in mains power-cleaning wizardry. So worry no more about unlaundered juice clogging up your AV equipment and upsetting your ears.

It may sound completely fabricated, but there is a legitimate problem this power strip helps to reduce. Namely, interference from other electronics connected to your home mains supply. An audiophile will tell you that plugging highly sensitive amplifiers into noisy power networks will seriously damage the quality of the audio you listen to.

It's not just noisy mains that the Lindy is trying to combat either, it's the risk to electrical equipment from a power surge. If you don't already have some sort anti-surge device between the mains and your thousands of pounds of electrical equipment, you should really consider doing so. After all, the last thing anyone wants is to see their new plasma TV damaged by a thoughtless lump of rogue leccy.

The power strip can handle a load of 3,120W and a maximum of 13 amps. It comes with a screened 2m mains cable, to prevent any radiated noise. It's also wall-mountable, should you feel the urge. Oh, and it has a really cool see-through window, behind which are some fascinating electronics.

The Lindy six-way mains conditioning power strip costs £35. It comes with a two-year warranty and is available right now, direct from Lindy.
