Very nice Marc, a serious assault on power. It must be the light, but in a couple of pictures it looks black, and in others it looks gray or silver - what color is it?

Silver. It looks black when the door is closed. The door has a black metal mesh grille (best I can describe it).

Very nice Marc and like it behind the smoked glass mesh door. Guess you're a power mains disciple now & as you have shown, depending on ones AC mains weaknesses, they can be addressed.

Best Sir,

Bob

Marc.......I am impressed with the Esoteric stack in the center. It generates a visual reward that is synergistic. By that I mean the overall impact of the stacked Esoteric gear flatters each piece in a way that is complimentary. It immediately captures your attention. The sum of the whole is greater than the individual parts. Splitting the Esoteric components up in other areas of your rack creates a hodgepodge, a mixed bag effect that robs the visual continuity developed when the gear is stacked as you have it. I imagine it will take some time to get used to your equipment in new locations but in my opinion your system looks outstanding as currently configured. Well done. .

Thanks Dan. I might try moving the preamp to the left. That seems more "correct" to me. Anyway, it's fun to experiment!

Ok, I moved the Ref6 to the left. I like this, it's staying.

I also picked up a Samsung galaxy tablet for running roon remote. I'm converted! Later, I will get an Intel nuc and replace the Mac mini.
