View Full Version : A little re-sizing

follow on from Darrens downsizing topic , this had me thinking about the large heavy boxes I tend to lug around.

Main box is a Road ready 10U over 4U ( 2U usable) slant top case with the following.
Denon X-500
Denon HC-4500
Numark CDN-88 , draws and controller.

Looks good but is heavy.
So I was thinking about the Citronic 8U over 4U ( again 2U usable space) , and getting rid of the Numark CDN-88 , and replacing with .

APart Audio PC1000R CD/Mp3, SD, USB 1U Rackmount Player ,
HERE (http://www.shop.nstage.co.uk/apart-audio-pc1000r-cdmp3-sd-usb-1u-rackmount-player-2079-p.asp), this will still give me a CD player and a back up if needed , maybe use a few SD cards to cover a few Now cd`s and popular songs from the decades , and all a darn sight lighter.

Getting the lighting down to size is a bit more difficult , as I only use an EFX-500 and a pair of Twister 4 `s ( iec).
The thought had crossed my mine if it was worth ditching the over head and buying Darren`s EFX-500 ( now sold ) , and fitting one to each ultimax upright , and to use my winch stand for a couple of other lights.

Why not bin the CDN88 and replace it with a 2U media player like the Reloop SMP-1 or ADJ - SDJ1? That way you can fit everything into a nice light Swan 10U rack case or an even lighter ABS one. I found the Citronic cases very heavy, even the 10U 20U one. Good case though..

Errrrrr, I don't think he's actually spotted your reference to the typo, Angela. ;) I'm sure he's still talking about a 10U 2U case.

That's me laughing like a child now, eveyone in my office thinks I am nuts. 20U - now that would be a beast of a playback system!
