I think i need some tips lol

Nice VU meters, I build with that style myself. I also make all my own cables, and racks, and headphone and speaker amps. One day soon I hope to build some headphone stands to match my amps. A new photo.

I'll give you a tip. Don't look at my setups!

There ought to be some kind of online course on how to do cable management. No matter how hard I try the cords and wiring get out of control.

If I get time tomorrow I will show a solution I like. It is also very inexpensive.

You re going to have a hard time hiding cables with glass shelves but you could buy some zip ties on Amazon for pennies and tie them to the posts in the back. You can also get these plastic tubes that have a split in them that you place the cables inside so there is only one large cable showing.

Here is one method using zip ties.

For cable management, here are some pics of my desk when I lived with my parents (10 years ago) from two different years:

And now, with my children, I don't have time for that (this pic is 2 or 3 years old, I think). I will post an actual pic when I move my desk to another room (hope will be soon):

I received bunches of it from lumber yard by mistake, I called them and they told me to just keep it, 52 pieces as I recall.



After one coat of finish. Oh and one more piece I just completed and sent out as a sample. I tend to stay busy.

That is a very handsome amp. @Paladin79.

Blah blah blah, we already know how gorgeous your work and setup is

What we need to know is how to organize it? My hifi rigs make me feel like a failed housewife

For the record, I've always listened to you guys on head-fi. Therefore I have upgraded the chair to matching color with the audio rack.
Thank you for all of your feed backs.

You desperately need a new chair. I would consider donating one to match the whisky and the setup!

Be careful what chair you get for him as I guess he may prefer open back instead of closed back?

I kept thinking about that chair. I feel better now.

Sorry if I was redundant, there are a lot of ids in here I do not know.

As far as racks or wiring I like to use solid cherry for the racks themselves as well as copper pipe I have cut into multiple lengths so I can change shelf height as i change equipment.

I shield all of my AC cords and keep them separate from signal wires. My main rack is on a tiled floor with felt pads under the bottom legs so I can easily swing the rack out to get behind it. I showed a photo earlier of a way to attach cables together that keeps them all separate and neat. You basically wrap a longer zip tie around cables, I generally stick to four at a time, then in between the cables more zip ties are added to keep the cables flat and spaced apart. I change equipment a lot so I like to be able to see all cables and where they connect.

What is all that stuff you have? What is the white thing that things are plugged down into?
