    Default Thank you

    thank you for the comments, as I say it is not everyones cup of tea, but when it comes down to providing a performance, it is up there in my opinion, and so much better than where I was!!

    Hi again Tony,

    Now I've got up off the floor...

    Are the cabinets specifically designed for audio support use? They look pretty solid, but I can't help thinking you could make some improvements in the sound with more solid support/isolation? (The floor looks potentially bouncy in the "cabin"(?) - maybe not, or it is wood on a solid floor?)

    Just surprised to see such exotic kit not on "proper" supports and not meant to be critical in any way!

    Default The floor and supports

    It is audio support, although no where near the sort of match or cost of the equipment. There seems to be a complete shortage of racks that can
    a. support the weight
    b. look good
    However, I have tried pretty much everything else that I would consider having in my man den, the system is very revealing, this is the only support that I can say does not interfere!! I have been told by who I feel is a god in hifi terms, that what ever you stand equipment on, it will replicate and you can hear it i.e
    Glass gives bright sound
    Wood gives dull sound etc etc,
    Having heard it with my own ears I believe this is true.
    The floor and cabin is a weak link, however plans are in to build a 10m x6m room as we speak.

    Thanks for the explanation, and good luck with building the room! I suspect that's an upgrade all of us would love to do one day, I know I will when I can. Please keep us posted with some "In progress" pics.
