NOPE.

Boxed up the tops in the original packing and will get to the bottoms sometime soon.

My basement is full of horns and my wife is going to kill me.....

I've got a pair of these massive babies in the garage that I will finish in a couple of weeks......she is punching me about them too...not sure where they will go...

Dan, what do you think of the PowerPlant. I read the raves about it. Did you compare it to the Shunyata and the much loved Richard Gray's?

JR.......I have only had the PPP in the system for eight hours, so I have not attempted to do any A/B comparisons. I want the unit to burn in, and all internal components to reach their optimum levels before I get critical with it.

As for comparing to Shunyata and RGPC units, no I have done no A/B comparison, although it would be apples to oranges, because neither the Shunyata or Richard Gray products perform a/c regeneration.

Despite all the rave reviews, and magazine awards, the Shunyata Hydra Model-8 is esentially a filter with 20 amp outlets, and is ugly as a big wart.

My opinion is basically the same for the RGPC 1200. A good friend uses one with a Krell system. We have played with it a number of times. I could never tell when it was there, and when it wasn't. It's an ugly box, too, with a funky little weird drawing in the window on the face plate. Not my cup of tea.

JWC...

How well do your beautiful amps dissipate heat inside the beautiful cabinets? Do you have fans on them?

Mine is still a work in progress. I have plans to tear down a house and build a new one and at that juncture, do a version of custom built in cabinetry much like we have seen in some of your posts. For now, it is a combo of existing cabinets, a custom made amp shelf and a Billybags rack with room left over for the MR88 at the top!
