As well as shielded cables, one of the bug bears of many an audiophile in the UK is the plug fuse and it's dodgy connection in many plugs. One way around the problem is to get a multiple outlet strip like this http://www.biagmbh.com/katalog/pdfs/77/7735.pdf (there are plenty for sale on ebay, just search for 'IEC distribution' but I know the one I've linked to is a well made unit). Internally it uses 5mm xsection solid copper soldered to the outlet connetions. You can bypass the funky fuse in the unit (it's there for the USA as they don't have fuses in their plugs) and if you want to you can solder your supply cable direct onto the copper supply rails rather than using the first socket for the supply. Make up your own cables using good quality shielded cable and IEC plug and sockets (Schurter or Kaiser ones are good) and you're good to go. You then only have 1 fuse in the plug that goes to the mains rather than a fuse in a plug for every piece of equipment. Much better than trying to get BIG cables into one of the hydra type plugs and you've eliminated the vast majority of the fuses. As usual with electricity, if you don't know what your doing don't even try as electricity can kill!
