Do you hear any buzzing or humming (from the speakers) when you turn the volume up (nothing playing)? Or clicks and bangs when say the heating fires? European 220VAC is very clean, many of the power products (and US centric reviews) make no sense in EU.

Despite the high-end quality and price of your system’s components, and from all your posts in the Roon fora, it seems that you’re not satisfied with the musical performance of your system - what are you missing about your experience?
The audible gains, to be achieved by the componentry you explore most vividly, seem to be more in the homeopathic domain.
You might want to look more into decor-friendly room acoustics treatment and digital room correction. I guarantee you, that such an approach will transform your imagination of what’s possible with what you have already.
The money you seem to be willing to spend could easily pay a professional service doing it for you, if that’s too technical and involved for you.
Give it a shot - you won’t be disappointed…

This is NOT the case More than happy - sounds great.
But if there are small things that I can do, to make it even better, than I would give it a thought BUT - I DON’T have a need to spend money on things that don’t give a benefit.
That is why, I just asked the question I did.
PS: Thanks for tip, I am sure that would be a great solution. But how the living is designed, this is not an option.
You are protecting from surges coming over the outside power line, but surges can be generated from within when devices come on line after a power outage.
This what my Linn dealer recommends and supplies with new installations. Nothing fancy, he argues that elaborate power sources are a disadvantage for Linn equipment. There should be something similar in Germany.

@Fernando_Pereira - You are a luck guy The to Linn dealers close to where I live, can best be characterized as “box movers”.
As @mikeb rightly says, those varistor-type devices sit between protective earth and each of @Torben_Rick’s three phases as well as neutral, so are not series elements and snub any surges beyond their specified voltage, no matter where they come from.
A screenshot from installation instructions speaks a thousand words…
