In a moment of Zen, I take a journey through my own virtual Torii gate where the Shinto Gods may bless my audio purity. This is my version of sacred divinity.



























There are a total of four stages which form a very effective barrier against mechanical vibration and resonance which is detrimental to vacuum tube stability.

This base acts as a floating shock absorber which starts with interleaved rubber/cork pedestals underneath. The interior is isolated by the formation of fifteen tennis balls which are constructed of pressurized rubber wall material.  The deck simply floats upon the balls free from touching the surrounding structure at any point. The amp base has two-inch neoprene feet as the next barrier. The amp enclosure itself acts as the final barrier to block any interaction with vibration.  You can feel the spring action with only slight pressure upon the amp. The movement returns to stable almost immediately with a very firm feel.























The Japanese writing translated into English is as follows:



                     
            GREAT DIVINITY ILLUMINATING HEAVEN


































































































































This concludes my presentation.

Wow, fantastic work. I hope it sounds as good as it looks.

I can see why you named it the 'Zenith'. I'd say it's next level but it's actually exponentially next level. Quite the attention to detail on all fronts and a beautiful new case to boot. The experience you're getting in your room must be outrageous. I can't imagine once the DAC and your other music projects are complete that it can get any better, but knowing you, it will.

Thanks for taking us along on your journey and keeping the DIY dream alive.
