It's from a German company and it's called EMPIRE Precision MC-Series.
I have it since a couple of years and happy with it's quality and look.

Thanks. It's a nice looking stand.

Cleared the desk for the new gear to come in. Ordered some Mogami RCA interconnects to connect the Hugo 2 to the amp. Consider this the before picture.

Whose rack?
Actually this is just a regular rack, not some 'Fancy Expensive Hi-END rack.' I bought it on Taobao (which is essentially the Chinese version of Alibaba)

My latest iteration., Some solid state, tube, and electrostat in a relatively smaller footprint.

Haha I got it in 2011 for $100. Used WinDAS for dynamic convergence adjustments. It weighs nearly 100lbs and I don't really trust shipping it. Finding someone local to repair is the problem. And though its rare, my investment is small and I don't know how much money I'd be comfortable throwing at it knowing that it could/will fail [again] at any moment. The anxiety of maintaining and using it sometimes felt like too much lol - using the little monitor and TV on my desk has been a revelation in relaxation since there's not much for me to tweak/repair/lose. The Hyundai V560 is 1024x768 and I love playing PC games on it. The TV is RF only, so I don't have a plethora of component and SCART cables and adapters to deal with. It's all just much more simple.

At least that's what I try to remain convinced of ^^^ because I'd surely still be using the FW900 if I could :/
Oh man. This thread is making me jealous. I used to have the Silicon Graphics (SGI) version of the FW900 and sold it before I moved 20 years ago and replaced it with a crappy LCD. I wish I had that thing back - It was just so beautiful.

Alibaba is Chinese.
