I prefer to connect the sources closest to where the mains power enters the strip.

Mains power entrance - LP12 - DS - Pre amp - Power amp

I have tried both ways (at Fredrik's suggestion) and I agree. It is more tuneful with the sources first and power amps last. Naim recommends the reverse and it does have a different kind of sound but I do find the source first ordering more musical.

You might want to try it both ways and see what you think.

Worth comparing your Claes Ohlsson with the simplest (and probably cheapest) one you can find in a DIY store - i.e. no power surge protection or on/off switch etc.

It is funny how Clas Olson power strip can sound so good it only cost 45sek?

Cool - I presumed it was an expensive audiophile product.

A dedicated fused spur is also supposed to help, but as yet not got around to that myself.
