Post Subject: Inner CagePosted by N-set on: 11/26/2013

Romy, there will be an inner cage for electronics inside the TT stand:

This is a sand+shot filled steel frame topped with the same vulcanic slate as the TT stand.
I tried to put the cage a la RixRax but it did not work
(the picture&explanations are here: http://goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PageIndex=1&postID=19738#19738)
The plan is to decouple the inner cage from the floor via the leveling bearing feet I posted few posts up.
I wanted to put it also on the air springs but the center of gravity is too high I think.

As for the visuals, it's not that bad as the pics may suggest. Actually the ugly proportions and not-so-high-end
frame execution are quite nicely compensated by the material choices: hypnotizing Italian slate,
beautifully machined spikes, black anodized spring covers and mat powder coated steel.
All the pneumatic cabling is almost invisible. It is not a typical high-end furniture but neither a rough industrial one.
I guess I caught some interesting balance here.

This has been my goal with the project, you've summed it up really nicely!

Cheers,
