Here are a few of mine.

B&W 604S3's
SA8000HD HD DVR Box/Digi-Cable box
Shitty RCA DVD (DVD-A) Player
Denon DCM-340 CD Player
Sony VCR that's just taking up space
Arcam Alpha 10 Integrated Amp
All low level cables, probably Monster mostly.  I need to get new interconnects and speaker cables soon, and plan on getting a center/sub/rears to complete the HT setup too.  At that time, I'll upgrade the source as well.


Full rig from listening position.


Just the Rack, which I believe is made by Sanus.


Another view.

that looks really nice Jeff

[Nick Culbreth]

Wow, lots of nice systems.

Anyone have specific rack recs?  I am thinking about taking down my large entertainment center in favor of something much more compact.  How does everyone keep the mess of cables hidden though?

I don't.

Thanks Moke, stellar suggestions.  Looking behind my ent center this morning, the mess is just that, a big freaking mess of cables everywhere.  I will have to come up with something if I do all of this.  I really want my speakers less far out into the room, so I get some rear reflection with treatments behind them, but doing so is going to be costly I imagine.  Has anyone tried making a rack?  If so, is it possible for the handyman retarded to pull this off?

If I were you'd I'd really try to tidy up a bit and keep your power cables as far away from your interconnects, from my experience doing so can make an audible improvement in sound.

Read the entire thread. This has already been discussed.

Thanks, I looked at that one this morning.  There are several others out there at some tweak sites that are interesting as well.

Help me understand why you don't want them so far out in the room.

I assume ya mean of your own design/not a kit.  If so, I consider myself to be pretty "handy" and don't think I could construct anything that Heather would let in the house.   Well...that's not true.  I think the one stand I could make that would look great would be made of threaded rod, washers, hex nuts and granite.

1X10"s and cinder blocks baby, who cares what it looks like, as  long as it sounds good.

J/K  even though I use some pretty ghetto racks.
I ran all my speaker wire under the floor, It's a renter and I could give a flying fuck about putting holes in the floors
nothing a little wood putty and some shellac won't hide when I leave

I bought one of these and it is worth every penny...comes with spikes or screws for the feet, and looks great....I couldnt have built something comparable for the cost of materials and labor
