High End, and Rack Mountable


One thing that has really helped tidy up my system was changing from tables and audio furniture to a tall, rack mountable cabinet, with a rear door, a shelf, a drawer and casters.

For me, it has been a real treat, albeit a bit more work to initially get the components screwed into the rack.

Now, I am pondering a system change, mainly to warm up the sound of my Audio Research SP11, and also switch out my Sony SCD-1 for hard drive based digital and a new turntable.

I would really love to keep the rack, however, and probably also my Magneplanar Tympanis.

Could anyone therefore, make suggestions for truly rack mountable components that are genuinely high end, could drive my Tympanis nicely and also look great in a matte black, studio type 19" stacked rack configuration.

If you want to check out the rack, it is made by Raxxess.

I hope this isnt too tall an order and thank you for any ideas or opinions.

Hi CW,

I would suggest that you install rack mount "shelves" into the rack and affix them to the rails. This will allow you to place any component you choose into your rack as well as providing a method to employ vibration control feet or platforms. Attaching a component directly to rails rigidly connects it to the rack frame itself and provides a directly coupled path for vibration to enter the component and contaminate the signal.
