To add just a bit to the excellent post by Dave, I would throw in the
tidbit from Mike Hanz about cleaning and repacking all dynamotor
bearings that are accessible (not sealed), if you intend to use them.
Apparently some folks don't use them on receivers due to noise and
interference issues. Hopefully Mike or others with dynamotor
experience will chime in. Do you use them, Dave?

I'll be interested in hearing how things go for you as I have (I
think) enough pieces to put together a system also, and hope to find
time this winter. The dynamotor bearings are the most intimidating
part for me since I hate to mess up the otherwise good condition of
the paint getting inside. Picky, picky....

Interestingly, some of the racks and shockmounts I have include a
little grounding strap between them, looks to be made for this purpose
with proper ends.
