Hi Florian ,

Thanks for the advice.

It's weird but it was Eric Barbour (Metasonix) who told me to wire the -V in the Mean Well switch to the GND terminal in the g6. Not sure why he said that , he's not a man of many words. When I asked about the G6 connections he said: "ask Doepfer"
Regarding the connection of the Mean Well input to the G6 Ac input , Where's the best place to do this , As you suggested , i shouldn't wire them to those connectors with blue caps (3rd picture) because they are connected with the fuses. So then , should i wire them together with the G6 black and blue AC input cables in their own connectors in the PSU board Does it matter which cable goes to each connector

Thanks in advance

Ricardo
