Yes, when I went KISS it was a red letter day for me. Really made me realize that systems don't need a lot of complexity to sound good. Music sweet music.
I too am a believer in the KISS strategy. CD source, integrated, monitors and sub. Source connected to an isolation transformer. Speaker cables and IC's from same manufacturer and same conductor construction.
Tommy, I like that rack; please elaborate on how you built it or send me an email on further details. Thanks in advance. BTW, I have been slowly simplifying my system too, and am already reaping some incredible rewards. I have gone from 5.1 HT w/ separates to an integrated 2 channel system. Love how much better it sounds. Enjoy the Music.
System edited: Stained shelves on the rack to match speakers. Replaced Amperex 7025 tubes with Sylvania 5751. Replaced PS Audio Power Punch cable on cd player with PS Audio PerfectWave AC-3.
