You've got a full array of fettuccine there my friend! Hope nothing serious is wrong; it's when it starts spitin' marinara sauce back at ya, that you've got to worry about.SPAHGETTI !
Nothing major. Changing out my Sansui SC737 cassette player. It stopped working. Will have to open er up. I replaced it with a later pioneer unit I had.You've got a full array of fettuccine there my friend! Hope nothing serious is wrong; it's when it starts spitin' marinara sauce back at ya, that you've got to worry about.
Is that the back of your 9001?
SPAHGETTI !
I don't know how many times I cleaned it all up with ties and wire looms etc only to take it all apart because I had to change out or install something. After a while I got the "out of site , out of mind " syndrome.I have been hesitant to post pics in the Show Us Your Gear thread for mainly 2 reasons. Firstly it's not all that special compared to some of the awesome installs I've seen. And also the back of the set up is disorganized & chaotic it's embarrassing (but it works glitch free!).
However I have been ispired by rawmaqcias and a Mark Andeson post to revel in the entangled mess that is my system.
From the front not too bad:

Top to bottom: Panasonic Quad Scope, Surround Master v2, Anthem AMV 30, Zektor switcher, Adcom preamp, Oppo 105, Chase RLC1, Pioneer DVL-700, 2 Adcom 555 power amps for the main 4 channels. Not too bad.
But like a mullet haircut it all changes in the back:

Worse than spaghetti, I call it the Medusa Method of hook up. But sometimes electricity don't care how pretty it looks. Items at the bottom is an Audiosource bridged for center front & another Adcom 555 bridged for the sub woofs. It is built into the wall so I have complete access to the rear connections. Thank goodness for that!
Yeah , that is the back of the 9001. Not as pretty as the front!You've got a full array of fettuccine there my friend! Hope nothing serious is wrong; it's when it starts spitin' marinara sauce back at ya, that you've got to worry about.

Maybe someone can start a best spaghetti thread ! Kinda like a rat rod . Be proud of it !
Yeah, the one thing I do is try and keep the power away from the other cables . Otherwise it's a free for all!I like what I see! Nice set up & 3 TT's. I've known only one other person like that. He had one TT for CD-4 , one with MC cart for all else, & one oldie idler wheel drive for cleaning a record.
Exactly! Also there is a downside to obsessive cable routing. When multiple cables run close together in parallel there is a chance for noise pick up between power, digital, & analog audio. I've known people to just group all of them together & tie them up tight. First thing is to group selectively.
It's not really out of sight for me. Coming into my Bassment first is the electronic workshop side & around the corner is my music/movie room. The back of the gear is always noticeble as you walk in that room. Oh well.
