Hi Grant,

Thanks for the prompt reply and suggestions. Unfortunately, fully loaded HRS racks (I need 6-8 shelves) cost as much as a new family car here in Australia (strange for something that, while heavy, ships broken down) and the idea of importing an SRA frightens me given the state of the Aussie dollar and the sheer size/weight of the cargo. Finite Elemente Pagode Master Reference is an option I have considered but the importer does not have any new stock at the moment and any current orders will be about 30% more expensive than they were just 2 months ago. Plenty of food for thought until the economy recovers.

How do you like the Audio Research electronics compared to the Atma-Sphere stuff, specifically the preamps if you had a chance to compare them?

Best Regards,
Aaron

Hi Grant,

Great system you have assembled there. Do you find that the suspended shelves of the Stillpoints ESS rack wobble or move in any way? I only ask since I previously owned a GPA Monaco rack that was not a particularly good match with my suspended Basis turntable because of the multiple degrees of freedom inherent in this rack design.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Aaron
