I've got one for you -

always find a way to support your cables. I never imagined just how
heavy all that crap gets until I had to tear it all out and put in
storage. I noticed that the wire ties that kept everything (almost)
organized were about to crack or had already cracked under the weight of
the miles of wire. (I had a 48 channel board with anal retentive
connections :-). When I rewire a new studio I plan on actually making
wood supports to lay the wiring on from the console to the patch bays
and equipment. The weight must have some negative affect on something.
Connectors are obviously strained and who knows what another year of
hanging would have done -

Thanks - that's 2 times that came up in reply to my post, and I've always
wondered why the connections go flakey on the back of my $100 patch bays. I
guess that's probably why.
