behind that rack 😮 thought it would be better but i know how it can be 😎
Yea I still had some loose wires that I havent tied up yet cause I’m waiting on some projects. It will look better. My main goal was keeping the processor the tidiest lol
Youthman sent me, subscribed and can't wait to dove into your channel.
Thank you!! 🙌
I would gladly drive my happy-rear end from Little Rock to Houston to wire your rack.
🤣 Its not as bad as it looks on camera. And I’m still not done with the wiring.
I have an Alt 16 + ATI amps in my rack. I think the brain and the guts are what should be the most expensive pieces in there. Definitely not a single player that exceeds almost every else in the rack combined. ;)
Noice! Trinnov is still on my end game list one day 🥹
I also have an Apple TV 4K I forgot to talk about 🤦♂️
The uncut zip-tie tails triggered me. haha! My problem. Not anyone else's.
🤣 I still need to cut them 😳
@@hatoraidcowboy love your content, man. Thank you for the response to my insanity. Haha
@@MyFatherLoves Thanks man I really appreciate it!
You look so happy!
LOL
Looks great I have the Emotiva rmc 1L absolutely love it.
Nice looking rach. Love it.
Thank you!
Your next T-shirt idea: “Make scripts. Demo clips.” 😄🤘 Helluva rack, my friend!
LOL Thanks Ealan!
Badass rack look great congrats stay with the oppo i had a pasasonic ub9000 to many issues
Thanks man! What issues did you have with the UB9000?
Would not play dics had to restart the player 4 to 5 times, then it would always come up as high frequency audio, and you would hear sound no video . The player was up to date panasonic was not much help. It was not a great experience.
Great setup brother!!! Kaleidoscape is on my list but damn $8-10k is a hard swallow but I’m gonna do it hopefully soon!!!
Thanks man!
I'm a stickler for as clean as a rack as possible for both the front and back, but it's harder than it seems. Takes some time to figure out how to properly space everything for a nice clean look, and cable management is a whole other thing. That just takes experience and trying to copy what the pros do. Anyway, a solution definitely missing here is a patch panel. Terminate all those ethernet cables to the back of the patch panel and then do nice short runs to the switch. That'll definitely help clean up the front a bit.
Yea I thought about a patch panel but didnt want to hassle with the wiring lol I actually coulda mounted the ethernet switch in the back but it would have posed some challenges. The back actually looks a lot better in person. I have some “loose” wires that arent tied off yet because I still have a few things I need to do. But it’s like 95% better than it was before lol Wiring is a pain though
@@hatoraidcowboy Definitely progressing. I ultimately switched from zip ties to velcro ties even though I prefer the zips. It makes it easier to clean things up later on and make changes. It just takes time though and depends on how crazy you want to get into it. I started making all my own cables to get all the lengths as close to exact as I could. Learned how to solder and save a few dollars in the process. Most people probably are not looking to spend their time on this stuff though.
Very nice set-up in your rack you did nice job on your rack. I have Denon receiver Emotiva Bas X power amp 5 channel Panasonic 820 Blu-ray player apple tv the latest one .
Thanks!
What a perfect size rack. I am wondering why you have your tplink with the network cables in the front? You could turn it around and put a blanking plate over it?
I had it that way on my previous rack but it caused too many wiring issues the way everything is setup
I have a Samsung 4k player, as well as the Panasonic UB820, Emotiva BasX 2, 4, and 5 channel amps. A pair of APC surge protector (one for gear above, and the other for gear below. Sony 5 disc CD player, and the Denon 3800H!
Great components. Thanks for sharing!
Killer! How have you liked your Emotivas so far?
@@pinarellorider9023 I like them a lot, they do the job for my 5.4.6 Polk Audio system!
@pinarellorider9023 I love the RMC-1. It really took the sound in my theater to the next level
You have an RMC 1 but don't use half of it because it's too buggy? Why didn't you return it? It's not dig or an attack on you or anything. Not sure when you bought it as the price has severely come down since release but it breaks my brain to think that it's being kept after spending so much money on it especially when there are other products in the exact price range with better audio, a working video section, and access to Dirac Live multi-sub DLBC i.e. the HTP-1 at $4k plus the full DLBC license at $500 (plus a UMIK) OR an open-box (unused) Denon A1H for $4.4k plus an $800 full Dirac DLBC license (and UMIK). I mean heck.... you could buy an open-box (unused) Denon x4800h (if you don't have more than 11-ch) and buy a license for DL DLBC, all for $2.4k and still be on-par with the RMC-1 for S/N, THD, and dynamic range.
You don't have to answer. I'm not trying to attack you, question your money-decisions, or call you out in any way. That's totally your business. I just wanted to share that my brain is broken. haha
My set up is pretty modest.
Emotiva RMC-1L,
Emotiva XPA Gen3.11
Panasonic UB820 4K Blu-ray player
Sony X90K full array 4K 75” TV.
7.2.4 set up with Def Tech for my base layer
Sonance in ceiling for my Atmos
SVS PB cylinder sub & PB 1000
Noice! You gonna upgrade to the RMC+ model?
As soon as they announce their availability. The upgrade charge is pretty reasonable and less than the upgrading from AVRs that I used to do.
@willmahoney2452 I agree. I think they said Summer it should be available
I believe you’re correct. I recall them mentioning on their podcast. I’m a big fan of their stuff quite honestly.
@willmahoney2452 Yea they make some great amps and processors
Looks cool
Thank you!
My rack consists of a Denon avr-× 4700h reciever doing the processing and powering a 5.2.2 Atmos system, a pc with a rtx 4090 and an amd 5900x cpu for gaming and media playback, 2 fosi audio tb10d amps powering bass shakers, a wifi 6 access point, mini dsp 2x4 balanced and a Sinbosen d3002 amplifer providing power for 2x21 inch subwoofers.
Great rack setup. 2 21 subs? 😮 It must rock in there!
@hatoraidcowboy Diy 21 inch subwoofers, it rocks, but I have to turn it down, living in an apartment with neighbors. Would love to see more home theaters with diy components on your channel.
@LeeLee-fi7mx Dang two 21’s in an apartment? You’re brave lol
I’m not the DIY speaker type of guy. I just want to buy my gear and hook it up and start listening lol I built my riser but that’s as far as it goes 🤣
I forgot the Nvidia Shield.
I also forgot the 4 SVS PB1000 Pro subs!
Nice
Thanks!
Remember bro as an entusiast we want the real truth in your reviews. You can slip in any criticisms on the down low, we will pick up on it 😅
LOL I always do 😁
Sorry if I missed it but what brand and model is this rack? Thanks.
Strong is the brand. Not sure on the model.
Emotiva Rmc 1L
Emotiva Dr3
Emotiva Xpa 5
Emotiva bass X 150
Panamax 5100

Apple TV 4K
Xbox one

Nice Emotiva setup! Are you gonna upgrade to the + models?
Pro not depends how much difference there is its like a new iPhone I don’t need a new every year lol. I’m pretty happy with the way it sounds I took a while to piece it all together but did it little by little. But I love the paring with my def tech st mythos and d9, with dm95 for atmos.
Do you plug your amps and subwoofers into the Panamax power conditioners, or do those go straight to the wall (either direct or via a "dumb" power strip)? They don't seem to offer many high current outlets on those models.
I plug the amps into an Emotiva an Emotiva AC Line filter
Hey Jordan! What was the main problem with not utilizing the video portion on the RMC-1?
The hdmi board was super buggy. Sometimes I would get no video. I’d have to restart the Emotiva by unplugging the power. So I just bypassed the video portion.
@@hatoraidcowboy Yep! That happened with my old Sony...The 4K went out...And just this past weekend it was my Denon One of the 4k HDMI inputs would not produce sound...Good luck! I'm looking at the Marantz AV-10...I tried the HTP-1 two months ago...I sent it back mainly due to the 4k exchange.
@michaelslocumbsr.2286 The new Emotiva+ models should fix all that. But let me know what you end up getting!
@@hatoraidcowboy Yes sir! I will!
Did it come with all the shelves, or did you have to buy extra shelves?
It came with a BUNCH of shelves. And I still have some from my previous rack.
Very nice. Looks like you have the necessities covered. Down the road maybe upgrade to a managed switch from ubiquity. Do you have 15 amp or 20 amp power? If you have 20 amp power you may want to update the Panamax but a very nice and clean setup.
Also, I prefer Velcro over zip ties as it limits all those small tiny hand cuts you get when you snip the long end after pulling it tight
@RobZelinka Thanks Rob! I have a 15 amp circuit. My system isnt perfect but it works. And its simple. I’m trying to simply as much as possible. These components can give you a headache at times lol But I still have a few things left I need to do
Are you using the beta firmware for your Diva? I was having a couple issues with the latest official firmware (0.80.0.14) and the beta version fixed it. The big one was I would sometimes partially sync and it would look green.
I didnt know there was a beta version. I’ve been waiting for some updates. Do you have to download from the website or can you do it from the web gui on the Diva?
Do you have an exhaust fan in the top of your rack, and if so who’s it by?
There is a fan. It was already built in
@@hatoraidcowboy got it. I’m doing work on a buddy’s rack and it’s got the pop outs so I can install a fan and it’s really funny seeing how hard it is trying to figure out what can go there. 😱😂
@willmahoney2452 LOL I dont turn mine on cause its pretty loud. I wanna see if I can swap it for a quieter one
@@hatoraidcowboy fair enough. My friend’s rack is actually in a closet outside the theater and needs the fan. He’s had the set up for 11 years in a utility room which is pretty warm. I’m surprised his stuff is still working.
Wow I’m surprised as well.
What’s in your rack?
@therealshanelee let’s see what’s in the rack!
