These slabs are heavy, stiff, and flat - all good things for equipment supports - and, placed on a carpeted floor, constituted stable and quiet foundations on which to place my gear. One area I’ve given short shrift through the years has been the equipment rack, to the extent that I’ve usually just gone without, and instead placed components on large granite slabs I had cut years ago. I typically spend less than a tenth as much on a digital source component, because in the last decade or so great digital sound has become so affordable.
