    Should I put some Dynamat on the transformer itself or just the case?

    Okay so the trial fitment works. Now for the Dynamat when I get home from work.

    I still have plenty of black screws for the Neutrik Speakons if anyone doesn't like the way their silver screws look on them

    The Onkyo remote for my pre-pro is a universal and is programmed to operate everything. No universal can control ALL of the functions of each device though and none will operate a TiVo. :s:p

    I beg to differ my friend, my RTi runs my entire system, and it's nearly 8 years old. I didn't even have to change the programming when i upgraded to the Romio class of Tivo's

    Okay I stand corrected.
    I too have a Roamio and my Onkyo does not operate it. I prefer the RF remote that I bought for the Roamio anyway. This is all off thread subject though....

    You don't need the template. The holes are already where they should be, you simply drill them out a little larger.

    Thanks to all who made this transformer group buy the largest ever!! I can't wait until I finish my upgrades (*at this pace in a month or maybe two*) and hear the results. I'll be blogging it all here.

    You know you can post more than 1 picture per post? Gets really long an monotonous scrolling, when it can all be placed in a short, well written single post w/multiple pics.

    ANYWAY take note of the grouping of the wiring and which side it's going to. Thanks to @VR3 for showing me what goes where. Now to find some connectors!
