What's out there? BAE and Wes Audio? Anything cheaper? Moving from a 10 space Lindell to an 11 space would help with some ergonomics, but I don't want to spend a ton.

Hey Mark, I love Purple but there is a reason the rack is called the Sweet 10 my friend 😁 |

That would probably be my kind of audio company: a company that calls it the "Sweet Ten," but it actually has eleven. |

You know that extra space is what makes it better!, |

I'd also give Total Audio Control(TAC) a look. Especially if you want more I/O than a CAPI rack comes with. Mine have been fantastic.

I have one CAPI and one TAC; both 11 space.
I am very pleased with both; I have a slight preference for the TAC as it has an on-off switch remote controlling the PSU, whereas the CAPI is always on.
Note that you have to ask for the DB25 option on the TAC if you need it.

Yeah I love the switches on the TAC. Plus all the I/O if you get the Advanced upgrade and the DB25 option.

I would have built a CAPI but they’ve (obvs) been out of stock for a long time. I bought a BAE off the RGO classifieds. After sorting out one issue (busted solder joint on the +16V rail) it’s working as it should be. Overall, it’s a tank. I too like the PSU with a switch.

All else fails try one of those Xmas tree wireless remote relay boxes. |

It doesn't say on their site. no they use an external supply. You can either use the floor PSU from CAPI, or TAC's floor mount or (and what I have an prefer) the rack mount PSU from TAC. Cremal helped me modify mine to power 3 racks even but that's for special conditions. Still Supplies PLENTY of juice for everything though. I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't have any major modules that pull power that one rack PSU could power 4 racks. Cremal is great too, very helpful and responsive. I have the PSU in the bottom of my desk and the racks have their own remote power switch right on the rack. So super easy to swap modules if needed and such. |

Sorry, I meant "International", not "internal" (cause they're in the UK, I was wondering if you had to order a US PSU or just flip a switch/change a fuse/etc). Thanks for the rest of the info! They sound great, and I dig the switch and visual feedback of the lights. Who doesn't love lights? |

They also will do GDIY 510 units so you can have +/-24v rails as well. |

Crumbs. TAC are back-ordered 4-6 weeks. I'm going to try to stick it out, but I might not.
