Handling Heavy Amps

Beautiful High Efficiency OB Speakers very very easy to manage as an alternative type Speaker.

Mr Nixie - STC - ll Power Amp, unbelievable Amp for the volume, do not be fooled by its size, there are much more valuable and highly rated Amp's that this one has Superseded in others systems. It has also been used as a Active Amp in Speaker designs.

CDP, Streamers and DAC's are to be found almost Hand Size and weighing in under 1Kg.

A TT can be found as very lightweight structure using the modern materials selected to control transfer of energy.

I myself have reduced from 9 Stone (58Kg) Plinth on a TT, to a Plinth produced from a more commonly seen material for such purposes that weighs less than 1 Stone (6Kg)

A Support Structure can be a Light Weight Wall Mounted Shelve produced for the purpose to support Audio Equipment.

These are the types of things needing to be considered if wanting Music in the home to a certain level of replay as the years and best of health are behind us, I am slowly making change and acclimatising to the notion, my wonderful long term owned commission built devices will be somebody else's pleasure, 'maybe' ?

Ancient Astronaut Theorists say that the megaton stones of the great Pyramids, Easter Island and Stonehenge were floated and put place with sound waves.

Might be worth checking in to? Probably should put your neighbors on notice before implementing this plan. Someone’s floating Sub-Zero frig could be quite disturbing.

I feel your pain. I just put my system on new racks! And some of my gear is about 75lbs plus . I’m 60 now and can still do it but another 10 years or so I’ll be SOL. Maybe try and stay on the lighter side of things if you can. That’s what I think I will have to do as time goes on Michael. 

OP,

👍🎉

Just out of interest. Why are folks moving amps and speakers?. Typically I buy an amp or speaker… place it (even heavy speakers are easy to walk for adjustment) and not touch it for ten years or more. What are you guys doing? Moving to dust under them?

From my own end, I loan equipment regularly, I attend social events where it is expected that a range of equipment will be available to be used as part of the days musical encounters.

I also demonstrate my whole system as part of social activity at Public Attended Events.

I gave up on the Lone HiFi Enthusiast person many years past, my HiFI experience today is all about nurturing friendships and growing on the base of those already met with a like minded interest.

When I get the chance to do Photography it is nearly always carried out as a Social experience, very rarely is a loan field trip participated in.

Life is too short, and there is a lot less good experience to had in front of me than there is behind me.

On that note, I’m now heading out to a Party.
