OUR PRODUCTS...
A PASSION FOR PERFECTION...
.......We offer a variety of precision component support systems in a wide range of prices. With the exception of MAXXUM, all other rack frames and shelves are sold separately.
We refer to the rack frame as "rack architecture" and the shelf as the "filter system". With the exception of MAXXUM, all other filter systems are interchangeable within the rack architecture you select.
There are 2 rack architectures that allow the use of interchangeable filter systems. These are the 3-leg PXK and the 4-leg QXK. MXK spikes can also be used under all filter systems with the exception of MAXXUM.
The interchangeable filter systems are Black Diamond, Black Platinum and Black Sapphire. The Vista shelf is also interchangeable in the PXK and QXK.
We recommend that you select the most robust filter system for front end components. Amplifiers are best thought of as front end components.
