Firebottle stack

[Firebottle]

I have been working up to pictures of the system and the last item arrived yesterday.
The rack is very tall so two pictures to give the general arrangement:



It is purely by coincidence that one has ended up as an all black shelf and one as an all silver shelf.


The bottom shelf is the 'subs bench'.



At the bottom is the power supply then the pre-amp case for the Salas VPI (Valve Phono Itch), on top of this is the Topping D50 dac and Lepy LP-A1 headphone amp.

Behind these is my low power OuTLaw OTL power amp and a Proart PP-7160 integrated amp.


The next shelf is the 'digital stack'.



From the bottom is the Philips CD-610 used as transport, then Innuos Zen Mini NAS with Baldwin HiFi 12V linear psu, modified to also power the Oehlbach XXL reclocker that is out of sight.

Topping D90 dac topped off with the RTZ grounding box.


Next shelf is mainly the 'analogue stack'.



At the bottom the single box Paradise one phono stage, above that a Pure DAB tuner (feeding digital into the D90) then the Bigbottle3 phono stage.

Final item is a modified Mshow Audio line controller with PGA2311 volume control.


The vinyl shelf.



The ubiquitous Goldring Lenco GL75 in a Don Marrese solid plinth, with re-tipped Lyra Clavis cartridge.


Finally the power amp shelf.



On the left an own design Sub Woofer filter/amplifier, on top is a Helmut Becker PCL805 OTL headphone amplifier. This was the fore-runner to the very expensive RKV headphone amps.

Lastly the Neurochrome Modulus - 286 power amp, modified to true dual mono.

I was going to suggest the rack looked a bit flimsy until I spotted the DIY bracing

Is that The Paradise or somat different ??

[Firebottle]

That is the Paradise but rebuilt into one box, hence the 'one'.

Exceedingly good as you will know.
