I just buy a $1 piece of that gray pipe insulation from Home Depot. Comes in 6 foot lengths. I then cut a piece just large enough to fit b/w where the cord goes into the gear and my rack. This is very good b/c you don't have to glue things to your rack and if you change cords or adjust your rack it's really cheap to cut another piece. Plus I use it to seperate the digital cable/ICs from being too close to each other and PCs. PLUS, I use it to keep speaker cable off the carpet, Plus....well for $1 per 6 foot run I use it for lots of stuff! ;~)
any tricks for using bigass pc's?
i've been trying out a number of powercords recently. most of these are behemoths. very large diameter, very heavy. i've had difficulty keeping the iec-end snugged up to my pre/dac, which occupies the top shelf of a 4-shelf zoethecus stand. i figure i can rig up a velcro cord holder to take some of the weight off the iec connection, but i wonder if any of you after-market pc aficionados out there might have other suggestions. -cfb
