Speaker cable binding posts

[kenreau]

Finally got the D200 opened up last night for the first time.  Made the binding posts swap for the WBTs and applied a thin film of Quicksilver contact enhancer.  Also applied the WA Quantum chip stickers to the DAC, DSP chips, Main Capacitors and one inside the metal molded housing of the PFC Power Supply.  Currently running it in with the internal brown noise break in signal.

I also got a good look at what it may take to swap out the IEC PEM module.  Looks like a p.i.t.a. as the F'tech blades are completely different that the Shurter. Both location and orientation are off (as Manoet warned...) I did get an idea on a potential way to make it work. The existing Shurter blades mount low (and are vertically oriented) and the power entry circuit board (with fuses, etc.) overlays on to it and snaps down onto the PEM blade/tangs.  The F'tech Line and Neutral tangs are up high and horizontally oriented.  My theory is to to install the F'tech, mount the power entry circuit board and just solder a connection to the top of it where the current female connecting tangs are soldered (but facing below).   The F'tech IEC PEM would connect to the top side for Line and Neutral.

I'll have to work on posting some photos later.   Back to work...
