No reasonable offer refused. Let me hear from you.

Key Parts of a Beautiful, Hand-crafted-in-California, Award-winning Audio Rack for sale

****Use as the start of a new rack, or to enhance isolation for an existing rack.****

Winner of all CES awards & Bestseller for more than two decades!

The complete new Novus retails for about $7000 (depending on the shelves you choose).

This sale is ONLY for the Frame, Feet and Poles from that Novus. ($600) 50% discount!

Good+ Shape (7+). Great sound is a 10. There is a small amount of rust on the bottom bar of the frame (a minor ding in the powder coating).

The owner of pARTicular and his team are ready to assist you in obtaining H Support bars, Shelves and AL/VE. Even though this Novus is 20+ years old, the more recently manufactured parts will fit perfectly with the older gear.

THIS IS WHAT I AM SELLING:
The Frame, Feet and Poles: The Frame is welded in California by pARTicular. Each steel piece is designed to isolate and remove vibration from the signal path. The 2 Frame Legs are filled with sand (adding to the weight and isolation). Two Poles screw into the Frame; the other two Poles rest on adjustable brass spikes on the floor (floor protectors included!) The two legs are connected at the bottom via a crossbar and bolts (included!)

To start a new rack, THIS IS WHAT ELSE YOU WILL NEED TO PURCHASE from pARTicular:

1. H supports: These connect to the poles. Each H support is adjustable to any height. Together, the frame, poles, and H bars are impressively rigid--manufactured to tight tolerances. Available from pARTicular.com
2. Shelves. Both 23"x18" and 19"x18" sizes are available from pARTicular.com. (My shelves are 19"x18".) There are several options for shelving material, depending on your budget and goals. pARTicular offers high-performance acrylic (black), opaque acrylic (white), and wood. You could make your own shelves as well. The Novus holds 5 shelves very easily--and there is room for at least one more.
3. AL+VE: The aluminum discs combine with viscoelastic and are placed atop the H Support bars, with the shelves atop the VE. The sonic improvement offered by the VE is instantly apparent. 1 AL/VE for each 12 pounds of gear weight.

Optionally, you could upgrade an existing rack!
SPECIAL NOTE from pARTicular:
If you already own an Optimus or a BASIS rack, you could use these parts to semi-suspend the BASIS as a first upgrade to implement isolation. Or, as an upgrade, move-up to Full suspension for best isolation. 

I have discussed this Novus with pARTicular, and they are ready to work with you to complete this rack or upgrade your existing rack.

I have been extremely impressed with their support. Do not let the relatively poor quality of their website dissuade you--I almost gave up working with them based on the website. But, once I got to talk with them, and meet them in person, and (most importantly) use their gear, I was hooked. I think you will be too.

I look forward to any questions you may have.
Central California sale preferred, to avoid shipping expense and hassles.

Thank you for considering these components as the start of your next rack!
