HiFi Housekeeping

[Lerxxst]

So everything’s back from service…

I’ve made quite a few changes & hopefully improvements whilst the kit has been away.

Replaced the TP-Link router for a Draytek with iFi Power Supply
Replaced the Cat6e with a dedicated run for the NDX
Replaced the ethernet cable from wall socket to NDX with a Catsnake Cat6a
Replaced the switched 2 gang power sockets with unswitched MK sockets
Replaced 2 of the Powerline Lites with full fat Powerlines
Replaced the HDMI cables from the TV to the Sky Q box to allow it to be placed further from the hifi

Modified the Ikea unit to fit everything inside - otherwise known as keeping the boss happy.

So now all I need to do is get it all back in place & attempt to get the cables correctly “dressed”.

That sounds like a full on spring clean, not just housekeeping

Hope it’s all together and playing music soon!

Damned expensive jigsaw puzzle!

Look forward to the ‘complete’ photo.

Fun, fun, fun!

Enjoy.

After quite a few hours & a number of position changes, here’s the result…

I know its not ideal - brawn & brains etc - but the cables work best like this at present.
God knows how I’ll get it to work if/when I go active!

Initial impressions are very good. Bass drums I’ve never noticed before - or rather double kicks on bass drums. Surprisingly, doesn’t seem to be as “bassy” as before but maybe there’s a running in similar to new?

I’ve got the house to myself over the next two days so will be annoying the neighbours instead of the boss
