All three of us have kept the copper mines open for some time.

Fans Cleaned, WOPL Cleaned front and back. Put into cabinet, attached temperature sensors to heatsink and transformer, mounted fan controller on the right, tidied up fan controller wiring at back. Got rid of all the dust on the shelves.



Still need to reinstall fans, connect amp to pre, extend speaker wires, and do some more cable management at the back. Should have music tomorrow, a whole night without it is killing me :iconbiggrin:

Having a rest tonight, hard working day today.

Did some more A/B comparison between P3600 and Cambridge Audio 651p Phono Stage. The 651p has better bass response and higher output (about 3db more), but the P3600 is very close to it in terms of sound quality. Outstanding for an integrated Phono Pre I must say. Having a ball with the P3600, many more albums to listen to. Spent most of this week tidying up the setup and still much more to do, lounge room is a mess.

Nice job d2. About time for me to tackle the rats nest behind the equipment, not "planning" on adding anything soon.

Yeah its nice to have it tidy, although I didn't have any performance issues when it was a mess, it was just getting difficult to manage. Now when I wish to add a component its a lot more simplified.

I did try to keep AC wires away from the Computer interconnects, but this proved to be difficult as they always end up crossing at some point. The AC wires that do cross are inactive the majority of the time, don't hear no noise when they are on either.
