Great Post!
If you dress your own, custom terminate or are considering socking your existing runs, consider TechFlex Flexo Conductive! Certain to kill transfer of any EMI/RF. I had interconnects braided with this stuff scanned through airport X-Ray machines which could not even penetrate! I use it everywhere for total blackness & wouldn't do without it...

Stephen, I think you and I may have used the same source out of Southern California. It should be here tomorrow. By the way I have a question and I hope it doesn't sound too dump. The Hydra 8 used a 20 amp power chord but I've only a 15 amp circut at this time in the room. Will have any issues with this? At some point I'm going to have a dedicated 20 amp line added but will not be going that until I'm ready to spiff up the room and will be adding some lighting to the ceiling. Also what I'll likely do is plug it in for 24 hrs and let it settle in before I hook everything up.

The only thing I know about this is that chords are rated for safe carrying capacity, thus your 20 amp chord is rated (can handle) up to a 20 amp load. The 15 amp breaker that you have would trip if you put more than this on the wires for x amount of time. Just don't try to defeat the breaker (i.e., don't try to substitute a 20 amp breaker for a 15), because that 15 amp breaker is protecting the wire that's in the wall, which is probably rated for 15 amps.

It is eye opening. In the plane world we have to be very careful where we position wires, given just these issues. If you have a strobe power wire, or a transponder cable, both high emitters, next to a communication wire, you will have very bad static. Ground loops are also notorious and hard to find. I have one now that is driving me nuts. However, I never thought about this relative to electronics. I know the military "case hardens" certain equipment, in part, to cut down on the EM and RFI. It would make double sense that our home electronics would need such as well. I noticed on some of the server DIY sites that they were trying to find cases that were as isolating as possible. Again, good stuff, thanks.

Yes, I think we did use the same source. You should be very happy with it; my guess is it will be in like-new condition. Regaridng the cord, no, you just need a cord that has a 20 amp IEC female plug on the end to go into the 20 amp male IEC on the back of the Hydra. Ths is a different design than the 15 amp IEC plug. The Python you bought should be excellent for this purpose.
