I've given credit to things like upgraded power cords, dedicated lines, room tuning and even aftermarket fuses for making improvements to the sound of my system.
I've used modded Target type stands and all manor of sismic sinks, Roller blocks, BDR,and wooden chopping blocks and felt pretty good about all of my effforts.
What I've never been conviced of is that any upscale audio rack would make a difference to what I cobbled together.
I mean all the other stuff I agonize over really counts, the stand is just a stand right?
Well I should have known better, me the tweekster,should have known that no stone should be left unturned in the pursuit of great sound.
So it is with grat pleasure that I announce that my most recently purchased audio toy is a Grand Prix Audio LeMans rack.
And to say that this one item alone surpasses all my expectations is not saying enough about the improvemnt this stand has made in the sound of the music coming from all my other toys.
Can a better snad box improve the toys that are in it?
Maybe not, but this audio stand certainly improves the toys placed on it.
One point to make,because I am a tweester I substituted the slim Grand Prix spikes for 3 fatter brass ones from my Ref 3A Grand veens(which use BDR cones -ah the tweekster strikes again)and the bass impact and fullness of the music went up several notches.
I would expect the delite people get from using the GP Apex footers is because the stock slim GP spikes are holding back what this rack can do.
I can honestly say that with the GV spikes on the GP stand,the whole GD sytem has improved by leaps and bounds.
The best audio purchase I've ever made.
