Under my Treo's, there was a noticeable tightening, mostly in the bass, but also across all frequencies. B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GdnrBob Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I just got back home from a NY Philharmonic concert today. Rach 2 and Tchaikovsky Sym 5. I kept thinking how my stereo system sounded like the concert. Bob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctsooner Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 the granite makes a nice difference in the ways Bob mentioned (in my system). It’s subtle, but noticeable. I really noticed the mids sounded better, but it’s not like it moves the sound stage or anything like that. The Vanderfeet were a must though. Without them, i didn’t love the sound as much. As others have stated, Richard’s feet don’t slide on the granite and it makes the proper contact. They are inexpensive too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Black on the second shelf below the ARC phono stage but the display has timed out (5 sec) as it has a negative effect on the sound as all displays do.

Bruskie Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Brad, I assume those are HRS equipment stands. What models Arte they? It appears that the components sit on a platform that is not "connected" to the frame, but rather rests on it. Are you using Nimbus couplers between the platform and frame? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Quatros (and the Treos before them) are cherry, which I also love, but it's photo-reactive and gets darker when the sun hits it. Consequently I have to keep the curtains in my listening room drawn for a portion of the day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delkat Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Yes, SXR stands from HRS. There is a crossmember in the center of each “shelf” that connects the left and right columns but the feet on the platforms only make contact with the cups built into the “shelves”. You can use any of the standard platforms but the rack is built specific for either the 19x21 or 17x19 platforms. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
