They were ok with me sharing.

Edit: Yeesh, no posts in this community for 4mo, then one admittedly mediocre setup pic and I get torn to shreds.

    That seems like a whole lotta RF interference.

    It probably could have been done with two power supplies.

    They used staples to attach the cables.

    Audio should not be crossed with power.

    Power cables should not be coiled unless you want induction loops, lower efficiency, and waste heat.

      Great points! I learned a few things.

      Power cables should not be coiled unless you want induction loops, lower efficiency, and waste heat.

      Ideally, the cables would be the minimum length needed as I understand it. For excess cables though, is there a better solution to organize it to avoid coiling?

        You can zigzag them for something temporary.

        For an install like this I would make everything to size. Quite a lot of this could be cleaned up by using only 1 or 2 multi tap power supplies that had a terminal strip for the output. The original cables could be used with the barrel plugs/USB/ whatever on the device end, and the other end cut to length.

        For cables it’s much better to use something like this photo, if you have many cables that need to be routed the same way there are cable ties with a ring tab that accepts a screw or nail.
