Oh and Swingman, I think I'm probably going to do a little tweaking of the cables. ;~)

Good thing, I had fewer cables in a 32 track recording studio.


I pulled the top and untangled the cables this morning, piece of cake so
to speak. Still lots of cable but no longer a rats nest. LOL

Strange thing about cables and audio equipment is that often making the
cables all nice and neat will introduce RFI and magnetic interference
noises and hum that disappears when the cable is laid in a haphazard, rat's
nest.


Now you're reminding me of my old job. I did hundreds of installations
and there are some you can bundle an some you can't. That's one reason
pro cable costs so much and is so thick, due to the 100+% shielding an
balancing.

Some of the mic cable I used to use, I could lay parallel to AC cords
with zero 60 cycle hum, as long as all the grounding was correct. But
that's some expensive stuff and knowledgeable installation. Most home
instals are better with the rats nest. :-)

Yep, thousands and thousands in equipment with balanced inputs and outputs,
balanced TRS patch cords, and high dollar shielded cables; and the only
thing that will stop a guitar player's amp from humming in Bb on a tune in
A is a .49 cent ground lift adapter.
