Live Vibe Audio


It's time for me to purchase a new audio rack. Unfortunately I don't have the opportunity to hear one in my system prior to purchase. Does anyone have first hand experience with Live Vibe Audio racks? If so, please share your experience.

I received five Rhythm Platform Advantage JR-4 platforms and posted pictures under my virtual systems. Aesthetically I love the way the platforms look and their quality. Unfortunately due to the layout of my room and length of my power cords, I'm unable to use the fifth platform and had to stack my DAC on my preamp. I'm using Stillpoint Ultra minis under the DAC, but have already reached out to Live Vibe Audio to possibly purchase their RP-2, two level platform.

 

I wonder how Live Vibe racks compare to Sound Anchors racks as they appear to be the same material. Matte Stainless Steel. Although Sound Anchors steel bars are hollow and filled with sand. 

I you bought Live Vibe decoupler sets and placed them to rest on the Sound Anchors matte SS, seems very similar to the Live Vibe RP Jr rack. 

Live Vibe does not use stainless steel but instead a low speed steel chosen for its sound quality. I know I was part of the listening panel. We had several of the same platforms cut from several grades of steel. The hardest one was the worst as the instruments and voices traveled up the wall towards the ceiling junction. Like sitting in the front row of a IMax theater wrong and uncomfortable. Aluminum and tungsten portray a similar perspective and sometimes painful. The platforms were listened to in several different systems and rooms all of us came to the same conclusion. TomD
