Topping SR2 Aluminum Rack

[restorer-john]

The Topping glass (hoping it is) rack is actually pretty sexy. I'd buy it if I had a pile of their chit on my desk.

It kind of classes up a stack of Topping gear. Otherwise their stuff is pretty meh to look at IMO.

Your mask has slipped! What's that crystalline resonance chamber doing on the left of the stack?

*edit* It looks like there's one on top as well!

hahaha not my pic! Found it on Google Images. Was trying to show off the awesome Ikea builds I saw floating around. Then again, I'm sure that's what they all say when someone catches their magic treble crystals.

I think the smell of the Camembert under the boards is going to dissuade anyone from taking too close a look

Looks nice and all but a little expensive 220 usd for a small desktop rack, don't you think?

I’ve actually been looking for something exactly like this that has a small form factor, and as soon as I saw them on Shenzhen Audio, I ordered them. From someplace else, of course! Apos and HifiGo both have them and there’s no waiting for weeks to get them or going through a crucible to return them. As soon as they arrive I’ll let you know how the build quality compares with the photos.

So that's about what; $5.00 American?

Is this a joke? I'd laugh, but GBP is doing much worse than CAD against USD. It feels like 1985 again...

 

[frogmeat69]

A real opportunity for Topping to offer a lifetime warranty on something...

Ouch, lol!!

 

[frogmeat69]

Yep... at least $70 - $100 too much.

I'd prefer this anyway for USD $48.99;

Neither of those can hold the larger Topping models like the A90 or D90, and that Douk Audio stand is pretty much the same as Topping's smaller stand. The Xduoo stand looks terrible, imo.

I think the whole thing is aluminum.

I think the whole thing is aluminum.

Not even magnesum or titanum?

 

[Davywhizz]

The SR2 is all aluminium (or aluminum if you prefer) and surprisingly heavy. I got one for my headphones system. The feet have a non-slip ring built in, to restrict any accidental movement on a smooth surface.

My only criticisms are, firstly, there is no adjustment for levelling, other than by loosening the connections in the legs. Secondly, the height between the shelves is very limited. Maybe if the bottom one had a bit more height it would be better. Better still, if Topping sold sets of extra legs you could add in. I asked. They don't.

 

[restorer-john]

I believe Topping has released a beta firmware update for a small number of SR-2 racks that aren't completely level (they rock a bit). It has been reported that the update has bricked several racks, rendering them unusable, so update at your own risk.

Another decent alternative are these monitor stands by Oasis. I've bought two of the long ones (42" x 10.5") and three of the short ones (16.5" x 10.5"). They're sturdy and well-made. The wood is a very dense and a heavy type of bamboo ply. Legs are solid metal. I watched Amazon for used ones and bought a couple of them for about $30 each. I use the black color for my coffee-table system and the natural color on my desktop.

The feet on the legs also fit perfectly in these anti-vibration pads:

Can someone please post a picture of the underside of the bases of the Topping SR2?
Also, are these bases made entirely of aluminum? The "X" and the plate?
