I’d love to see what the cables behind the wall of sound looked like.

Imagine having to do the get out? You'd be there all night and probably most of the next day. Then set it all up again at the next venue.

I always liked the cables, so decided to finally get some decent power supply to my home. Still thinking how to best integrate them into the rack though as they are a bit on the thicker and inflexible side. They are just being laid and they already look awesome. Don't ask about the cost though .

Fool! You should have gone for the ones covered in lambskin! Your treble will now sound awful.

From everything I've ever read, just making the wall of sound work was very difficult. Apparently when it worked it was glorious.

I suppose before that the audience were just hearing the backline so any half-decent P.A would be a big step up.

Of topic, but a wikipedia link describing the Wall of Sound https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_of_Sound_(Grateful_Dead)

You win.

It may work better when I get my 55 gallon drum of cable lifters.

Nice idea for ease of cabling:

ooh the customary cable mess/electrical hazard photo you make on vacation when you're an electrical engineer I have deleted most of mine as "normal people" just looks confused when you show them while chuckling

You actually know "normal people"? And you are on ASR?

I met "normal people" once - but I resisted gnawing on their shin bones.

When I came here first, I thought "finally, normal people"

So relieved that most everyone's cables looked as disorganized as mine.

With all the time spent reading cable threads there’s no way they were going to end up behind the system.

Amateur take on shambles.
The seat is not even stained.

Yeah, I took the whole thing apart and cleaned everything yesterday, then today I put it together again as an experiment to see how I can improve it. That's when I took the pic. Hence it looks more tidy here with the cables than it ever has. I'm going to shorten 6 of the cables.

The seat is not even stained.

That computer chair is covered in dog hair and dust but considering it's age is in good shape. The Ikea dining chair I sit in to play is yuck but not shown here.

Nope, that I won't do.

Why does it always escalate in no time? All I wanted was a DAC, speaker switch, volume controller/input switch, and poweramp.
