Well... My new equipment rack/TV stand! It really changes the room and lets me push everything back about 12 inches from where it was and makes the room a lot bigger. Can you feel the Diana Krall oozing through the SDAs???

Anyways... Here are some pictures! On Friday there will be a 50" Pioneer Kuro on that stand!!!!!

Also, ignore the Yamaha Receiver... My Adcom will be back on Wednesday! I also still have a little wire management left to do, but I have some real work to do tonight....

    I really do like it though. Easy to assemble and it very sturdy. I did have to prop up the bottom piece of glass with some small 2x4s though because I had to put my Parasound HCA-3500 on the edge of the glass and it was sagging! :eek: It would have been fine if I could have put more towards the center, but it is WAY to deep. I have to go to the right of the center pillar. It barely works, but it works.

    The 703s definitely best the 9s. The midrange is so sweet on the 703s! I am anxious to do a comparison between a modded set of 9s and the 703s on Saturday!

    Nice gear but you need some cable management to clean it up a bit. Also, why is the sticker still on your TV showing the features on the bottom left of the bezel? Those are gone before being plugged in here in my house. Takes away from the image.

    I agree on all points :smile: The TV, honestly I didn't care about, but you are right. It looks cheesy, I might just go rip it off right now :eek: More cable management is going to happen tomorrow. Only minimal tonight as I am doing some server migrations right now for work...

    It is a Tripp Lite LCR2400. Line Conditioner, Voltage Regulator, and Surge Protector. I really like it. It is affordable and can still provide the power needed to keep my HCA-3500 fed. It looks a little industrial, but that works for me because it just works.

    It is really a nice piece of gear. Kind of a sleeper at a great price IMHO. All my gear is dead silent plugged into it.

    WoW! That is a nice piece of kit! http://www.tripplite.com/EN/products/model.cfm?txtModelID=2832 , looks like list is about $600, but you can snag one for close to $400 if you shop around. The more it does for the system, the prettier it looks!! I want one :smile:

    Sure is, I like the fact that it can be rack mounted. Correct me if I am wrong but triplite is not exactly the typical home toy, much more than that, right?
