    Ok, briefly, I wonder why I didn't turn my rack into a Faraday Cage when I built it

    We are on about screening & reducing noise after all... So maybe I have enough paint left over to repaint it after I cover the whole thing in aluminium foil

    Ah, glad about that. I thought you were going to paint your noise stoppers blue

    Very pleased with the caps that I bought.

    Just placed an order for another pair of XLRs, which will give me a full complement.

    Mark, what about some nice wallpaper instead of messing about with Al foil and paint? You like snowflake? http://www.reghardware.com/2012/05/1..._from_hackers/

    Damn I don't like the previous priced stuff @ £500 a square meter

    At Ferrus Power they made a EMC/RFI test room by literally covering the walls with aluminium foil. It's all you need, not some fancy pants stuff.

    Good for up to a couple of hundred MHz at the very least, a damn sight cheaper to I might add

    Off to check out improvements to pre-amp.
    Similar results from the EAR 868 pre-amp. It has one pair of XLR inputs and a bunch of RCAs. Just a little more detail and texture. On that guitar work of the Nick Drake track, a range of harmonics are more apparent.
