What is the kit that is front and center (at the top)? A phono-amp?

Thought youād never ask!
I have 3/4" solid copper rod w/ copper washers and nuts combined with Baltic birch ply shelving. The turntable shelf is a 3" thick slab of Baltic birch ply with a hollow recess that holds 20 lbs of copper BBās in a bath of mineral oil for dampening.
Iām not crazy about the wings I installed later for the Mac Mini (DC PSU modified) with a matrix spdif 2 hiding in the shell of an old mac mini.
Itās a solid rack. The dampening and the high mass copper rods reduce vibrations to the Technics SL-1200G Grand Class to the point where I can thump on the shelf below pretty hard and the sound does not transfer to my Hama Umami Blue MC cart when playing.
Since 2019 when I joined the HiFi family here Iāve been inspired by so many discussions and forum members. Getting into this hobby again has helped me weather some nasty storms the past 5 years.
I want to express my sincere gratitude to this community for allowing me to be a part of it!

Very nice and well thought out.
Iām sure they didnāt give the copper threaded rods away. 
Funny you should say that. I had searched online in 2019 and found that the 0.75"-10 Copper Threaded Coarse Rod 110 36" Length was going for $4.77 each!!! I called to make sure that the price was accurate, the sales tech verified they were and I paid $38.16 plus tax for 8 pieces - shipping was $52. It must have been an error! One piece is listed at $202.80 ea. in the website today!
I was tempted to order as many as they had in stock, but couldnāt bring myself to be so ruthless.
Kind of an ugly story, I know. My conscience is a little clearer having at least called them before placing the order.

Very cool.
Love the āout riggersāā¦
Are these āacoustically functionalā or just there for aesthetic purposes?:
Thanks in advance.
SEE
Yeah, they became necessary due to adding componentsā¦
They are likely faux-functional. They are aluminum 3D tiles in a wood frame. I have played around with the placement and I did find that they seem to diffuse a bit. I think they improved sound a bit in my small high ceiling room. OF course, Iām not going to make that claim anywhere close to the ASR forum! 
BTW, wouldnāt the FR10ās fit perfectly right where the Tannoy REVOLUTION XT 8Fās are right now?!
Just what I was thinkingā¦maybe FR20ās though. 
Those Tannoys have got to be feeling a little self conscious.
Seeing some of the beautiful DIY racks I almost wish I would have considered something different but Iām pretty happy with the Pangea setup. I already had one rack so adding a second was inexpensive.
I went the other direction though and reduced the overall height by moving the top shelf to the bottom by sandwiching it between the bottom tube and foot. This traded the 8-1/2 shelf for short shelf on one side for a power conditioner and a Pangea accessory drawer on the other.
does anyone have more PSA gear?
if not, you deserve a freebie
I never considered doing that. Iāve been thinking of removing a shelf to shorten the height of my Pangea but this way Iām not giving up a shelf in the process.
The Pangea shelves are really a bargain and look good too.
And the design is highly adaptable.
Wowsers! Now this looks great! Best looking rack Iāve seen in a while.
Have you done anything to protect the copper from oxidation?
Good question. I like copper particularly for itās patina. In this case the natural darkening of copper is something I encourage, so thus far Iāve not protected it. I do keep an eye out of the corrosive type of patina (blue & or green), but the dark oxidation is just fine.
