RE: who uses different wire colors in amps?

Posted by Stuben on March 5, 2017 at 06:32:06:
I tend to use green for Earth, Black for line and Red for everything down stream of the Power secondaries. I do go RED/BLK on the OPT secondaries. There are exceptions, when I run out of particular color...

One practice that has yielded a more quiet build is using shielded cable for filaments and signal. I leave one end of the shield available to earth. Has been useful.
