Well, after my new puppy got into my mess of wires i decided to clean them all up since the new receiver is coming anyhow. Used to have a lot of wires, not i am slimmed down.
Before:
DVD-Receiver:
5.1ch analog output
2ch analog output
Coaxial Digital Output
S-video
Satellite:
S-vid
2 ch analog
Receiver:
S-vid to TV
Coax from computer
Sub cable
5 channels line level
NOW:
DVD:
S-vid
Optical
Sat:
S-vid
2ch analog
Receiver:
S-vid
Coax from computer
Sub Cable
5 ch line level
And with all this, i went ahead and wire loomed all the wires, ziptied everything into place, hid the cables.
Another thing i did was cut the speaker clip pins off the monster speaker wire and run bare 12 guage into the speakers as well as the receiver end of the wire (still waiting to see how well this works with the new AVR). I then moved the shelves down an additional 8 inches to allow more ventillation for the new receiver and also moved if from the bottom base shelf to the top shelf for better heat transfer. I just hope the cheap MDF board with 4 small pins will hold it up at a whopping 40 + pounds. Might have to go back to the bottom... But all in all, i can not wait to get home from work to put the new receiver in. Took a vac tomorrow just to stay home and play with it.
Bored at work, just thought i would share my accomplishments, though small, should be very effective.
