Lewn,How does the price of your plinth compare to the price of an OMA or Albert Porter plinth? I'm picking up a MK2 today and I'm looking into plinths, but I don't want to spend a ton of money on a plinth. 
Austin Texas area Audio folks?

2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy
For speaker cable, Mapleshade's cables sound amazing. Neutral and transparent. Bare wire is always best, in my opinion.For interconnects, Dueland Coherent Audio cables are very natural, transparent, and coherent.

Opinions on Nuprime vs D-sonic vs Red Dragon vs Class D Audio
I had Red Dragon amps in my system for while, some moons ago.They were dimensional and a joy to listen to. Not analytical, but still detailed. I liked them a lot, but wasn't in the market for amps at the time.
