Cable glands on each end. One will be hardwired into my mains block, the other side will have a plug on it.

We've all still got a way to go to catch up with Marks'.



Mine doesn't even have a box

Yeah, I built one of the large D.C. blockers mentioned and am really pleased with the results. I did try the smaller one also described in this thread but it didn’t quieten my transformers at all and, if anything, actually impaired sound quality.

Looks cool Mark, take it you used the plug socket for your Hydra?

[YNWaN]

Yes, that's right Neil - hence the Cerberus name, to keep the theme with the Hydra . pretty much my whole system is run from it.

That's encouraging RE running your whole system from it, because I intend to do the same.

Have been looking into a hydra too, but don't want to compare 2x fundamental changes at the same time, so will try the DC blocker first, then look at a Grahams hydra to replace the mains block & cables.

Hi Oli, I was planning the layout & you're right, it's better to put the glands on the top lid, at one side to keep the internal cabling short, easier to drill too.
