I am currently mixing Furutech & Siltech with great success. Predominantly, Siltech will be used more on 2 ch side with the Furutech on the multi channels.

The aim is to get Siltech wire running discretely through the entire 2ch loom.

Although I must say that I am extremely happy with the performance of the Futurech Silver Arrows Phono cable. It's a winner.

As for the Magico M-rack, I do love the look of it.

it weights >250kg of machined aluminium, and multi-layer damping system with different metals. I doubt it will cost less than 20-25k given the material and manufacturing time involved.

I really like this rack. It's one of the coolest ones I've seen In a while. Very simple and modern with an openness that allows you to see more of the gear. Ha, that last sentence sounded like I was reviewing a speaker or cable.
Would look really good with some black glass from Mcintosh in there. Wonder if you can get Magicos custom colors?
Oh we'll, I probably won't be able to afford one anyway.

Yeah, very close. The TAOC is probably a little cheaper too.

"Magico's MRack ($30,000–$50,000, depending upon configuration) absorbs and dissipates energy with the same constrained-layer damping mechanism employed in the Magico QPod equipment supports that Michael Fremer raved about in his June 2012 "Analog Corner" column, and that I use under my transport and DAC. Constructed of 500 lbs of aluminum, copper, and damping compound, the MRack is a byproduct of the R&D Magico put it into their Q series of loudspeakers. "Think of the MRack as a giant QPod," says Magico's Alon Wolf."

Have we now officially reached a new level of insanity? $50,000 for a rack? How much jumping around and vibrating is gear doing that we need this?

Looks like most will require two racks for all their stereo gear, and then another one or two racks for the multichannel/HT gear.

I saw this in Stereophile's CES coverage. It's absolutely ridiculous There is the high-end and then there is the stupid-end. I think this clearly wades in the latter.

Totally agree this Magico BS is absurd.
