Vibelink amp Photo Gallery

Really? 😲🙂
Glass is a better thermal conductor than wood.
(That's not the point...?)
Yes I agree with @canard. Glass should be avoided, if possible, in the listening room... Especially near the electronics and speakers.

As others pointed out, (planar) glass surfaces are pretty bad for reflections. They also have undesirable resonance characteristics that are difficult to dampen easily...

this is why tube amps etc do a lot to dampen the vibrations in order to reduce microphonics.

I should never have pointed out the screen stories between speakers, etc.
We all do with our rooms, or we think of them more as living room ( my case) than auditoriums , or for many, small audio-video mixed systems... ....
and I also have windows in my room, so glad it's not a cellar! ;-) )

My point was originally really about the glass supports for the devices... ;-)

Yeh fair enough... I take your points. But I guess I'm just a bit more extreme in my view on the topic?! 🤔

I also have glass in my listening room - Windows (often covered with curtains during listening sessions) and a mirror, since it can't be avoided entirely 😅

we can possibly close the curtains ;-)
 
How did you guys install your Vibelink amp?

It would be great if you could post some photos of your Vibelink here. I'm still trying to decide on a layout. I would like to use yours as a reference 😄

The IKEA mirror (SÖRLI) was the same size as Vibelink, so I put it underneath 😂

The volume knob has the best feel ever on the WiiM 😊👌

I connected an Amazon basic 12 gauge cable to the included banana plug. The hole is 4mm in diameter, so cables up to 7 gauge may be used.

There are photos of the Ultra being considered for matching.

Maybe the legs are the same as Amp pro.

Plugs smaller than 15 mm appear to be insertable.

Here are some additional information not found in the manual.

[Auto Standby operation of the Vibelink amp]
View attachment 19118

LED indicate 3 different power conditions.
  • Bright LED: playing or idling
  • LED dimmed: in standby mode
  • LED off: in sleep mode
With the auto-standby feature, after 30 minutes of idling, the unit enters standby mode and the LED dims. After another 30 minutes, the LED will turn off completely and enter sleep mode.
(After 60 minutes without any playback, the unit will enter sleep mode.)


[Operation by Standby button on rear panel]
View attachment 19119

  • Short click: Standby on/off
  • Long click: Sleep on/off
  • Long click for 5 seconds: Reset
Currently, the device can only be automatically activated from a 12V trigger while in sleep mode. In the future, it will be possible to wake from sleep from the WiiM home app via Bluetooth.


Further supplement. Operation when the power cable is unplugged.

If the power cable is unplugged during standby and then plugged back in, Vibelink will start up. If it is in sleep mode, it will not start (LED remains off).


Thanks 🤗
Hi, what make are those feet on the Wiim Pro Plus?
 
FTR my «rack» is all HDF. I’m sure that sounds objectionable to some. I also think that putting the Vibelink on the IKEA mirror gives an interesting optical effect. I also think that making your equipment look «right» is more important to the perceived overall quality than the material a piece of consumer electronics is placed on. This is not electromechanics.
 
This is not electromechanics.
There are so many efforts, offers, conflicting ideas, etc. concerning support feet, suspended electronics, gigantic businesses, that just comparing a support made of a wooden plate like dense plywood or glass is not very "mean-involving" ;-)
(" hdf" ?)
