Current photos only... This photo doesn't show the ToneKraft headphone cable from Audio Envy, nor the EtherREGEN switch, both of which gave a noticeable improvement in sound quality. But I've got a large recliner in front of the setup now, and I don't want to move it to take another photo. I believe all the equipment I have is listed in my signature. The Mapleshade Sampson V.5 rack is superior for vibration isolation (with brass cones and footers), but it also has a
high WAF. The broken laundry rack at the rear, to support ribbon-based power cords and interconnects, not so much! At Pierre Sprey's* suggestion, when I get caught up (possibly, never), for interconnect and power cord support my plan is to hang maple rods from the ceiling, supported by silk thread, so I can get rid of the laundry rack...

* By some standards, Pierre is "out there". But (like many innovators in the high-end audio industry) he's an engaging and intelligent guy. Amongst
many other pursuits, in the 1960's he spearheaded the design of the F-16 fighter jet. He makes terrific (nearly unparalleled) recordings, and every upgrade he's suggested to me (from Mapleshade) has sounded better than what I was using previously.
