I'm soliciting a consensus here. I just helped a client move their studio a few months back and one of the items we moved was a large 40ch+ 8128. I was unable to get to connecting the board at the time and the client wasn't in a rush so I moved on.
The client called last week and asked for me to investigate re-connecting at least the PSU's so he could use a few of the pre's on the board. One of the problems we ran into on-site was that the PSU cabling was too short (about 10').
I spent a few minutes yesterday looking the cable over and it doesn't appear to be very different than stranded 18AWG AC cable, just different colored jackets. I originally suggested going to Home Depot and getting a spool of Carol Cable 3 wire AC and just use that. A following discussion with two other guys in the know led me to believe that this may not be a good choice since, -not all cable is equal-. Neither of them could give me a reason why though, they just said to check my math before doing anything.
Soooo.....any comments on what sort of 3 wire power I can use with this board? Twisted, straight, thicker, thinner, etc, etc, etc?
