Review: Monobloke Woodworking Maple Amp Stand Stand

I recently saw an ad here on Audiogon listed by Monobloke. He makes amp stands out of maple. I emailed him and asked if he could make me a five sided box 18" x 12" x 12" out of 1" maple and finish it in gloss black. I have a Topaz 5 Kva Ultra Isolation Transformer that I have added Mundorf caps to enhance it's performance. It has lowered the noise floor, but hums pretty loudly in the process of cleaning my AC. I was looking to cover the transformer with a box lined with soundproofing material. Jerry ( Monobloke ) told me that he could and I gave him my order. I received the box this afternoon and was astounded when I pulled it from the box and unwrapped it. My maple box looks like a piece of furniture finished in Piano Black! I was originally going to ask Timbernation to make it for me since I have an amp stand that he made for me. When I found out that he's out of business, I looked to the Audiogon ads and found Jerry. I'm very glad that I did, his work is not only exact to specs but his craftmanship is exquisite. Associated gear Click to view my Virtual System by Krell_man on 11-25-09

Review: Monobloke Woodworking Maple Amp Stand Stand Does your five sided box silence the hum of your Topaz? How about a picture of the new addition? Lak 11-26-09 Review: Monobloke Woodworking Maple Amp Stand Stand Larry, I'll let you kinow as soon as I try it. I received it Wednesday and we left Wednesday evening for Thankgiving with my family 120 miles away. The look and build quality is what stunned me when I unpacked it. I see that you have a Xentek. When I had one it was noisier than any of my Topaz tranformers, until I added the Mundorf caps to this last one. If this works as I hope, I'll be sure to let you know. If I have to put the soundproofing material in it and that works, I'll let you know that and give you the website where I bought the material. More than anything, I wanted everyone to know about the quality of Jerry's work.

He does fabulous work and is a very kind gentleman. Very highly recommended Apachef1 11-26-09
