Byrdman Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Anyone have a source for really short power cables for connecting up items in a rack to a in-rack power conditioner? I am getting sick of all those long pow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamis Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 I don't know of any sources for short power cords; however, they would be very very easy to make after a short visit to Radio Shack. Yamis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Pierce Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 I usually look for specialized rack stuff at Graybar. That's typically in an IT context rather than a music context. They are not cheap, but they carry tons of stuff. But their online catalog isn't too good, I just go to the store. I did find this with a Google search: web page --Dave Make my funk the P-funk.

MurMan Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 I've shortened a lot of my cables myself by cutting, soldering, and insulating with heat-shrink tubing. This lets you keep the molded connectors. If you don't have the skills, maybe you have a good tech friend? Also, if you follow the logic of the high-end cable-crazed crowd, the reduction of impedance by shortening your power cables will make everything in your rack perform better! (Now, you can't actually measure the difference, but I'm sure you can hear it if you listen long enough.

Dave Horne Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 'When I lived in the US I would buy my cables from a few places ... American Musical Supply was one. I vaguely remember the smaller pre made sizes being one foot and three feet. I also remember making my own. No guitarists were harmed during the making of this message. In general, harmonic complexity is inversely proportional to the ratio between chording and non-chording instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
