"Electronic music is human sound adapting to indulge technology, and for some, it feels like the signature sound of energy. New and abstract sounds over hypnotic rhythms can conjure vast soundscapes for escape, pleasure, and transcendence."
When I was a kid my parents told me to turn it down. Now I'm an adult and my kids tell me to turn it down.

I've always thought the goal of high-end audio was not to have your neighbors bang on the wall and say, 'Turn that darn music down' but to have your neighbors bang on the wall and say, 'Tell your friends to go home and you can practice later this week'.

I guess I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I googled "toolfan inc.", to check on pricing!
Ha sorry I wasn’t very clear that I was joking. Don’t worry, I’m sure we’ve all done the same at some point or another. I remember several times I did that... won’t go intimidated detail as to not cause myself shame

Toolfan, you probably could actually make and sell those on the interwebz... it could be “ToolFan’s Audio Racks Inc.” that has a nice ring to it!
Market demand for that kind of stuff is quite small (re niche) compared to the other stuff I'm sure his company makes.
Plus keep in mind it would need to be shipped and I'm quite sure its NOT light so it would be pricey enough that most regular consumers (audio forums are not what I'd consider regular) wouldn't be interested.

I had a similar layout envisioned for my gear.
Spikes or sliders? That is the question.

Blu-Ray/Media/Gaming - Sony PS3-320GB / Microsoft Xbox One | Broadcast - Xfinity X1 Platform
Front Spkrs - Coming...DIY Statement II | Center Spkrs - Coming...DIY Statement II | Rear Spkrs - Artison Portrait LRS
Sub - DIY Stereo Integrity HT 15 | Sub Amp - Dayton Audio SA1000
Wire - Audioquest Type 4, BJC Belden 5000 | HDMI - BJC Belden | Power Cables - Pangea | Surge - Monster
Thanks guys, I am putting sliders under it..
Saying that it's "too hard" to pursue your dreams is no different than admitting to yourself that you are too lazy to achieve them.
