Replace OL Illustrious 3 with Graham 2.2?

Dan Ed? A question about your equipment racks. The racks are fashioned after the ones on Chris Brady's site I believe. Are you using a sand box under each component as shown on Chris' site?
Thanks

Good eyes! Yes, correct on all counts. However, the sandboxes under the source components have proven to be overkill to some extent for my equipment. A good isolation product, like rollerblocks or Stillpoints, seem to work better here. The boxes under the turntable and amp are effective.

Sorry, I must have mis-read something about an AC power cord on your TT.

Large, AGM batteries do provide a sonic performance boost over the one Teres recommends, the heftier the better. It should be easy to sneak a battery into the house, it certainly isn't eye candy! ;-)

We also bought a "smart" charger that extends the life and optimizes the performance of the battery. This means we never use the Teres charger and it's disconnected. In our system any charger compromises sonics if left attached during play.

Thanks Doug. Ill check that out also

BTW I snuck in the first Scoutmaster I owned. The MMF-7 which it replaced was black and so they looked similar from a distance. I was waiting to see how long it took her to catch it. Unfortunately, I forgot about it. Then, a month later I brought in the mail which had the credit card bill. She writes the checks for the bills so.............................Busted!!

My wife is very understanding of my music need and has been very supportive, even if she doesn't sometimes understand the need for upgrade. We celebrate 35 yrs this yr. She knows to expect most anything from me...............Of course within reason. She's no fool. She wouldn't have put up with me if I spent our $$$ without regard to our welfare. We laugh a lot at each other and ourselves. She sometimes tells that story to friends.
I wonder how I'll have to pay for that? Hmmm

Ha! You guys sound just like my wife and I. Also 35 yrs this December.
