That's a good pickup, it does look like it's not all the way in. I notice with my leads that the stiffer power leads will do that when I have been moving things around.

I had not thought of the possible aspect of the nest as a "Faraday Cage". My understanding is that many cables together can have a potential for undesirable interference impacts. It all depends on how they are arranged. Interestingly there does not seem to be any discernible negative impacts in my system. I have little space to keep the cables separate and I need all of them for the connection of all the components plus the TV. My friend says, that now my system is the best sounding system in a home environment he has ever heard. He has heard a few. So, to me overall, the arrangements of the cables are not a serious negative. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cables run parallel to each other will have much more likelihood of imparting interference to each other than cables randomly located as in your pic. Especially true for power cables run parallel to signal cables. Cables crossing each other perpendicularly will have the least chance of crosstalk and interference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assisi Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Hi Bob, Your explanation above confirms very basic understanding. Thanks. Because of where some components are located and the minimum space, I do have some power and signal cables located in parallel and bit to close to each other. It is matter that I need to address. Who knows what the result will be. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jhsg Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) I swear there is a gremlin behind my cabinet who takes great pleasure in making a mess... I seem to spend an hour or two every couple of months doing big clean ups but the gremlin comes back and makes them messy again within a week!!

Citroen Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 How do you guys keep your cables so neat and tidy!? I reel in horror whenever I have to swap a component because I know I'll have to actually look at what's behind my equipment. So I shut my eyes and give the chord a good old yank to prise it from the tangled mess that is my cable management system. I'm sure there are cables in there that lead to no man's land! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
