Too embarrassed Richard?

Testing a Tunami GPX V2 from OYAIDE (the red one on the CDX2), still waiting for 2 more VDH to come.

The twisted ethernet is for digital convolution…

Well… In this thread chaos is king!

Too clean. Too much space. Too much air. You feel the cables breathing away from the interferences.

The spiders wouldn’t like it. They’re camera shy.

This is a good thread as it makes me feel much better about my own rat’s nest :rat: . However, it does raise the question of where EMI stands in all of this. Legend has it (or is that cable manufacturers) that EMI is the work of the Devil and will wreak havoc on any system afflicted by it, which most of the pictured systems must be because of the spaces into which cables are crammed. Legend goes on to say that cables must be kept separate and elevated to ensure a non-detrimental performance. Yet I’m not reading of systems plagued by harshness, distortion, channel imbalance etc. Does this mean claims regarding EMI effects are (ahem) grossly exaggerated?

EMI adds life and character to your music, just like a needle on a vinyl record does. You need to cherish and embrace them, they’re one of the few things that keep us human in this soulless digital age.

Well, I feel better now. A combined AV and hifi system is even more of a problem for cables. Looks ok from the front I feel (if you forgive the fact that the ND5XS, XP5XS and NDAC are stacked) but less so when you look round the back. Anyway, those are what I call powerstrips!

One audiophile’s grossly exaggerated (night and day) is another audiophile’s modest understatement (couldn’t hear the difference).

Meanwhile, here’s just a small taste of my spaghetti of shame:

I want extra points for the crossing signal and power cables.
