Hi all,
My equipment cabinet interior is 21" wide, 16" tall and, 15" deep . It has a fixed bottom shelf and two height adjustable shelves above the bottom shelf.
The amp is on the bottom, preamp about 2" above it and CD player about
1 1/2" above the preamp. The preamp has an isolated power supply, that is outside of the cabinet, but I think it might be good to shield it from the amp and CDP.
I'm concerned that the components, being so close, could cause some interaction related to their power supplies. I've read about Mumetal but have also read some shielding material can make a magnetic field bounce back to the component from which it emanates. What is the best way, in my setup, to shield the components from each other?
I was also thinking an open ended box put over the amp's transformer might be a good way to shield the preamp from the amp. It would also shield other components in the amp from it.
Thanks,
henrylrjr
