Are those Concero 65 SIgnatures? Or did you go with Triode FET Essentias?

Congrats!!! When do they get setup?
The electronics are being stored with Nintronics for a couple of weeks Lloyd, whilst we have some work completed on the room, also the furniture maker that I had engaged to custom build a new rack has done a Lord Lucan on me and I am having to start that process again. The main conundrum being the Impera pre amplifier and its 53cm depth and an eventual requirement to support over 300 Kilo’s in total !

I had custom racks made by a Polish company called Savar systems for my Kassandra and Genus.

Yes, the same depth as Kassandra and it is certainly a problem. Stavros had to modify the position of the front feet, so that they fit into my rack.

Indeed Guys … for the most part, off the shelf rack solutions tend to be somewhat Lilliputian where AC are concerned :)

Hello guys

The Sig series is 43cm deep not 53 :) If it can handle the weight you are good to go :)

Hi Stavros , Ahhhh how curious as I have always worked off the dimensions as shown on the technical drawings on the Impera Sig product page.

life just became a tad less complicated on the rack front :) BAB12FC9-9F69-4D0F-B783-E69C4E7C6A23.jpeg

I haven’t experienced that pleasure as yet, I am hoping to visit Stavros at ACHQ in the spring in order to remedy that in a Big Way :D
Im sure it will bring you decades of pleasure. These are keeper amps.

Santos Palisander Veneer Shell , Dark Chocolate Heavy Duty Hide together with Polished Aluminium metalwork … Something along the lines of :
