badbob said:You won't have any problems at all. I have a 8 way block, with a another 6 way attached to that. 8 poweramps, TV, CD, 2 DVD player, HT processor, pre-amp, DAC, tuner. Never tripped the mains fuse.
The fuses are only there to protect the device in a worse case scenario. A CD player does not use 3A of current, for example.

The only thing i don't like is that the on off switch on the unit is quite easy to flick by accident. I have found that sometimes the plugs (particularly power bricks) don't quit go in properly which can cause horrible crackly electrical noises and then the surge protector cuts the power. I'm not sure if that is unique to my one or a build qualty issue
