Nice pics! Whats the black unit on bottom left?

It’s an HDPlex 200W linear Power Supply that I’m using for the Matrix X-SPDIF 2 I need to reconfigure things once the amps are sent back next week. I’ll try to use some more of the ports. The supplied cables are too short for most of my needs. I’ll probably have to make some.

Wow. Looks trippy. Can this only be used to power specific products?
It’s a very versatile Linear Power supply. Mine is one version prior to the current one. The new one has two fixed output voltage outputs and 2 variable outputs 5-19 Volts. The Matrix can handle 5-9 Volts. My variable output allows me to tinker with input voltage to get the best sound. It’s also built like a small class A amp. It’s deceptively heavy at 15 lbs. It also has a circuit to prevent EMI/RFI pollution back into your AC supply. You can also run all outputs simultaneously.
Nice set up.
Speaker make and model…?
Regards.

Very, very cool room. Could it use a few more speakers. 
I envy a clean kitchen.

I have that exact PSU as well, this runs my Matrix and my Legacy Wavelet Processor…it’s a little tank!
Got the HDPlex also to power modem and WiFi router. Great flexible device with the 2 fixed and 2 variable outlets and 200w of power. Seems well-made, heavy. Runs pretty warm in my case, but it’s quiet, no fan.
It feels like Minecraft for audiophiles, amazing!
very nice. What and how are you using the wood blocks under for equipment…squares? Rectangles? type of wood? Benefit? etc?
Thank you,

ps
wish my wife was interested… at all.
Thanks; These are Arye / Cardas Myrtle Wood Blocks; available from music direct; I learned this blocks from one of internet review of Quadrasphire SV2T rack; the combo seems to work well; I did recall when move the equipments from the floors to the Quadrasphire rack with Myrtle blocks under, the music became fuller, wider and more engaging, very evident changes;

i need to go into the myrtle block business
ps: not making screw of changes that people can hear, only that i could cut a myrtle blank up into these cardas-sized pieces for about forty or fifty cents apiece. (Cardas gets $8 or something.)

I did the same, even configuring them to comply with the golden ratio.
