Cable dressing : a necessary puzzle to solve?

Posted by: TomSer on 26 March 2018

Do you spend time and brain cycles with cables dressing?
Does it make a difference in terms of sound?

For those owning a NAC252, did you make specific tweaks?
If so, what exactly did you do and did you notice a difference?
(I read once or twice that the 252 seams to needs special care)

In my case the cable dressing was quite a puzzle!
I have a total of 7 boxes in one rack.

I built a curved aluminium structure to which I attached all the cables. The idea was to be able to move the rack without moving the cables (preventing mechanical stress).

All the cables have two or more foam rings which are attached to the aluminium structure.

The result is:

- There is no vertical mechanical stress between cables and connectors
- Cables never touch directly the rack or aluminium structure
- Cables never touch each other
- Cables never touch the floor (except for power cables and NACA5)
- Cables are never parallel (except power cables)

Anyway I find this post quite nasty for whatever reason. It is only designed to upset and adds nothing to the topic.

Why is it when someone replies on an open forum with an opinion that you don't agree with, you post something like the above post? You seem to do it quite often.
I find it neither nasty or upsetting, just an observation. If posts like this get you so upset, I would recommend you find yourself a new pastime other than appointing yourself the Naim forum police on morality!
Unfortunately you too have fallen into the trap of making personal comments rather than addressing the subject matter of the thread in question.
D'oh, now you have got me doing it. Over and out.

Only when required and in defense!!!!! It's almost as annoying as brownnosing to certain members all the time, it gets kind of old after a while.
