80/20 is a fantastic resource. Their online catalog has everything you need including how to order. They will cut, drill and tap as required and have a good system to ensure it’s done correctly.
How strange ... I originally took the reading from the Chord DAC sample rate light, which was yellow (88.2) when I listened to it and wrote the post. It's still showing yellow now when I replay it.
That's close enough to the current 2-channel setup that she likely wouldn't notice the difference. Not sure she even notices what's there now. LOL!
Here's one I made earlier. One of three. Two small ones, and another with four shelves.
And sometimes this delectable ingredient:
...which contains two...I say, TWO types of vinegar!!!
If you are not into the full DIY take a look at wheeled kitchen racks/islands, and since I am in Alabama Walmart is the first hit, but something like this?

Sadly metal castings I deal with are not quite the same, 7"x7"x34-44' or 235mm to 255mm at 24 to 81" wide up to 45 metric tons does not work for household castings - example furnace to melt the steel.
For desk setups, just set this up myself having just moved - taking advantage of the monitors to reflect the upward firing similar to full size Ohms using the wall (and yes, these are amazing and have been seen before in this thread, very well made!). MB Asgard 3 -> Audioengine N22 -> Paladin79's improved Decware Tiny Radials. Photo taken before keyboard, mouse, etc. Alterative is DT770 250 ohms.
When I had a DAC/amp from Dulong for an audition I was shocked by how much improvement the power supply made. Less than either the DAC or the amp (the amp was the weak link), but more than the digital source or cables. It's too bad power sources are so expensive.You know what I haven't done in a while, guys? Poking a wasps nest just to see what happens.
My honest and completely serious position:
In a headphone rig of ANY grade and size, the two by far most crucially important components are the DAC and the headphones.
A good hardware EQ comes in at a distant second.
A well-performing, whisper-quiet headphone amp comes third.
Don't skimp on interconnects, but they come in last.
Forget about "clean" power, that's only really worth talking about in larger two channel setups.
Discuss, while I'll be watching from a safe distance.
I totally agree with your assessment. I tried a small subwoofer as well as a Loki, but at the end of they day the speakers do well with music I normally listen to at my desk. This is a pair I will keep.
