Yes Ali, I did mean from the meter to the box. Some civil work will be needed to conceal the cables etc and fix everything in a neat manner. But that is not a priority. For the time being I just need safety for the equipment and good sound as the topping.
Thanks for the recommendations. I'll look at the stuff you mentioned. Should be worth the investment. If you already know where I can find them please do send me a note.
Glad to know the progress on the boxes. Please do send me the costing.
Edit: I am having a change of mind after seeing the pics

I think I would just like to use this to finally connect the equipment, rather than use it to bring the power from the meter and use this as source for isolation transformer. Now I guess I would prefer to use it between the isolation transformer and the equipment. Great looks. Thumbs up!
At the risk of loosing a customer ( which in any case im not here for - primarily )
let me reiterate
changing your cabling directly from your meter box and into the wallwart and then using a mains connector like something from Bals ( Germany ) in your wallwart
will reap far greater benefits than using conditioners,distributin kits, RFI filters etc etc
Build the best BASE
then take it form there
Personally i do the following at many installs
1. Ask the client to change his mains cabling from meter to wall ( where the hifi is )
i advice to use an OFC flexible armoured and shileded Power cable
all these properties are really tough to find and i dont know of any indian manufacturer that makes a cable having all this
Hence i suggest the use of Lapp ( germany ) - this is yet another cable - a bit cheaper than what i use in the barracuda
2 ask the client to instal just a Single high Amp and voltage rated plug socket
Something the the Bahl
or a 16Amp L&T on the wall
3.
then have a mains cable like the Pelican or Barracuda
heading from that main wallwart
to a distribution box with a RFI filter
You are now set
Have the least number of switches in the chain
Maybe one at the wall
and one on the Box
but thats about it
NO conditioner No transformer nothing
However this holds true only for mumbai - since we dont really see power failures and drops here
i really cant say about other cities without expereince
Alternatively you can actaully work backwards too
if thats what youre getting at
the distribtuion box first
then the 16-20 Amp Wall wart
and then the Mains cabling
However
once again
at the risk of losing customers
Correct Mains cabling and wall sockets gives the most benefits
