New rack, whatcha think?

[Orange Peel]

I picked up a new rack yesterday, my old one just got on my nerves, etc Plus I have always wanted a Bell'o, they are SOOOOO nice, too bad they don't have much of a selection for tower racks anymore, if I needed one for a table style, they are all over the place What do you think??

Very nice setup. How do you like your power conditioner? Is it a Monster? I am looking for a PC but don't really know what to spec out. Any tips on what to look for? Thanks.

Thanks! I really like the powercenter, it's a Monster HTS2600, works great. I would like to get the voltage stabalizer ones with the digital readout, but they are PRICEY! But one day I will upgrade, but for how much this one costs, it's a good deal.

Just get one that has enough plug ins for your equipment, looks pleasing to you, and works, they all do the same thing pretty much, just some have different little options, like the digital readouts of the voltage, etc.

Another brand to look at is Panamax, they have some NICE power centers too and they look very slick.

Looking at the details for this stand, the shelfs can only handle 50lb's of weight. The 1905 weights more than that. Do they make stronger shelfs?

It didn't say ANYTHING in the instructions (which sucked) about weight, it just said that the heaviest should go on the bottom, and that's where the 1095 went. It's doing fine, the glass is tempered and THICK, the bottom glass has 4 points of support, so it should be just fine down there. They don't sell any other glass that I know of.

Looks great! How much does it cost?

I have seen some great racks at Rotel brochures I got from the dealer. Anybody has any idea what brand are those, or how to find them.

Very nice rack. Gear looks great also. And everything is so clean. :T

The Bello's are great ( I have one too) just be careful of the weight. The spec is 50lbs but I think it can realistically handle 75 lbs.

Thanks guys, the retail on this rack was $699, but my cost at the store was $461, which is 20 over cost.

The unit so far is holding up well, I wish the cable management was a little easier to work with, some of the cables didn't work out going through the holes, but for the most part they are tucked away nicely, I only have like 10 million cables back there

Nice rack man. there is a trick to getting all those wires cleaned up and looking perfect. The back of the Bello has holes, yoou can zip tie your wires up by neatly running the wires inbetween the gear. then you have no wires showing. Keep power with power and audio/ video with audio / video. I think I have a pic of my old rack which was a Bello. I'll post it if I have a pic or 3.

Here is a few when I tried out Rotel seperates for 2 channel for the first time. It was fun owning that older gear. The Preamp had no remote. That got old quick. These pic's are from my old house.

Sweet, thanks for the tip with the zip ties, I will do that, I was thinking of that, but didn't know if it would hurt anything It's gonna get pretty real soon I plan to add LED's to the back of the glass to make the rim shine a color, maybe change colors in a rotation. Should be cool when it's done, I saw it on another members rack and it was AWESOME!

Sweet man sweet. Good luck

Thanks, I'm really enjoying the looks of this one so far, can't stop looking at it when I walk by, maybe it's the fact I KNOW how much I just dumped on a rack haha!!
