BTW, apparently Axiom will be offering custom Families of Curves under Customize Yours to correct for various hair types. Those with curly hair suffer diffraction effects throwing off the imaging something fierce.

Good luck with your nose and ear hair situation.

Think about it for a second. Let's say you have an amp whose case is poorly damped and made of thin metal. Now, compare it to the same amp in a well damped, heavy gauge metal cabinet. Do you think this difference would effect sound quality?

I think so. Resonances make a difference. Racks have an effect on resonances of components. So do the feet on components and racks.

Remote locate the rack from the sound source. Preferably in a ventillated closet. Use Harmony companion for components.

Nice choice is DWR series from middle atlantic. But pricey.

Dont need to see rack at all. This one mounted with heating zone manifold. Not Pretty! But cool and tucked away.

What kind of IR repeater do you use? Also, where do you typically hide the sensors? I would imagine somewhere near the screen.

The one on amazon for 20$ or so. Rebranded under many names.

Same as this. Rock solid and plug and play. Then you can grab a harmony 665. Good to go.

Use a 3.5mm stereo extension cable to front wall behind display or screen and mount on bottom edge.

Nowadays the Harmony companion (149$) is the way to go. Wireless to a rack to a blaster hub and comes with a remote blaster lead. You need an extension cable for it if you want to extend across your room to the display or pull into PJ conduit and set on to of mount. Enables full control of components via APP. So, if you need to get into a wierd menu you dont have to run to the rack and back to display to see what happened with the standard IR remote.

If controlling a PJ 12v trigger is option off of AVR instead.
