Did you make that dark grey wooden rack? I see high-grade furniture plywood there (lovely to work with).New Vygarde arrived today

I did not make it, but its made from fault-free birch (13 layer furniture grade strength) with a charcoal stain. Standard studio rack. Mine is 10U, with 8” hairpin legs. I added real rails as well for some cable management and some ventilated shelving to maximize airflow.
Studio rack was a custom job from Etsy. (They also do heritage series (hardwoods & dovetails) but they can get pricey. The carpenter Louis is out of Brooklyn and is a pleasure to work with if you need something custom built. Zero VOC finishes as well so no off gassing. It’s built like a tank. (Furman is flush mounted at the bottom)

I used a lot of Baltic birch in my day. This 13-layer plywood is the only plywood I know of that looks terrific with the cut edges shown & stained.I did not make it, but its made from fault-free birch (13 layer furniture grade strength) with a charcoal stain.

Never saw charcoal stain before. It's an interesting look!

I’ve got a BDI console on another floor with that same charcoal finish. It’s a nice look and can look either gray or brown depending on lighting (and surrounding furnishings). The other hardwood nearby the studio rack is all ebony so it works well. I didn’t have the Pendant in mind when it was built but the walnut burl looks nice sitting on top of it IMO
This made me miss my LCD-5 a bit for some reasonNew Vygarde arrived today
Simply moved on to other flavors and a system that's better and easier without EQ. They are still one of my favorite headphones and top 5 sound quality to my ears.
