Audio grade IEC connector might mean he intends to listen to the pure, unadulterated 50 or 60 Hz sine 😕😕😕?
Best regards!

Ok – so here’s my reason for wanting this specific type of connector…
The Quad Vena has a 2A fuse, the Aune XP3P (used with an Aune 6th gen X5 and Majority Fitzwilliam2) has a 1A fuse. The Audiolab input is fused at 4A.
Therefore, using an IEC ‘Y’ lead the Audiolab could be used to power my whole system. The so-called audio grade IEC sockets accommodate large cable sizes and although I don’t need large cable, this ‘capacity’ would allow me run two lengths of cable which in turn would allow me to make a good quality ‘Y’ lead.

Are you female?
You took a long time to tell us what you really wanted.
You should have told us in the first post itself.
You can achieve the same result by using an external junction.
Instead you make a song and dance about exotic rhodium plated plugs.
This is a do it yourself forum, in many cases the original makers have long since ceased business, we know how to revive equipment.
Have a little regard for our time.

Regarding your comments.
1) I fail to see what gender has to do with this
2) The description of the application doesn’t alter the request made in my
original post – and this is still valid.
3) I fail to see why a DIY forum would only apply to discontinued /
obsolete product
4) No one forced you to comment
The suggestion from NareshBrd regarding using "an external junction" is worth considering.
You could buy a good quality, multi-way IEC socket outlet similar to this:

Thanks for your contribution - I'm keen to go for a hard-wired option, reducing the number of connections, complexity etc but thanks for your suggestion
Perhaps this can save yourself some trouble...

You are BEGGING for "comments" since you posted your demands in a PUBLIC Forum.
Your demands appear UNSOLICITED in OUR feeds.
Females tend to be confused about what they really want, and like to keep us guessing.
I am too old to play those games.
The OP wants to run three pieces of equipment from a single mains outlet, finds one on the equipment, decides to piggyback two from this one outlet.
The thing about fuse ratings was confused too.
The whole problem could have been solved by using an ordinary power strip.... a board or box with multiple sockets.
Also, no information about the existing cords, maybe the existing plugs would have to be cut off and wires stripped to use the plug.
All in all, a confused song and dance.

Those are plenty good enough and silver-plated contacts are NOT a good idea.
Silver tarnishes readily and that tarnish is silver sulphate which is a semi-conductor.

Ideal plus!
If you had shown us this splitter at the outset, the thread would have been much shorter and less contentious.
You must be fearful that the splitter you illustrated will somehow mess with the quality of the 230V supply, but I would not be similarly concerned.
Silver plating can be prevented from tarnishing, see plating methods.
Possibly alloy with high silver content is used, on contactors and so on to prevent tarnish, or some passivation method.
Spraying with an oily substance would protect from atmospheric corrosion...

If that exists I have not seen it yet in use.
Also kinda pointless from an electrical conductivity point of view.
Pure silver is the best conductor and pure gold is pretty good. However a silver-gold alloy is relatively speaking quite poor ie substantially worse than gold or silver on their own.

I found the splitter this morning and therefore couldn't have shared it sooner.
On the subject of silver plating - surface tarnish can be a genuine concern but there are companies like ODU and Staubli that predominately use silver plating for their power contacts so the the advantages presumably outweigh the disadvantages
