Denali Loose Grounding lug
Been a long time Shunyata user, power cables and conditioners. A few years ago I purchased a new Denali 6000T and have been happy with its performance, and still am. However when redoing some ground cables I found one on the grounding lugs was loose. Being the no fear DIY guy am I removed one of the side panels for a closer look. Sure enough the nut that secured the lug had backed off some. A little odd since I’ve only been using a banana plug on this terminal. Anyway I tighten the nut and decided I’d check all the components inside.
I also found the two filters(?) (these have brown wires that feed the top two AC outlets)that mount to the inside of the front plate above the power switch were also loose. The uppermost units nut had almost backed all the way off. So just as I had with the grounding lug I snugged them up and moved on. Everything else seemed fine and I did also check the remaining hardware and wiring throughout the unit. I
I’m 99% sure the unit has not been opened since it was made as all the torx bolts made a crisp snap noise as they were initially unscrewed. I will also state that none of this seemed to have any effect on the units operation as I had no perceived issues before discovering the loose ground lug. I also did not notice any difference or “improvement” upon the units return to the system.
This post is not here to bash Shunyata in any way but more as advise to others that a regular check on your systems cabling and connections should be a regular occurrence. Prior to this I honestly would never give any of this a second thought, that has now changed.
