What cables are you running with your ARC gear
Sainline and Shunyata is what ARC uses for power cables with Transparent for speaker cables.I'm running Sainline,Furutech Ref and Synergistic.You've heard it before that it's all about synergy.

My audio rack is bright, will sand fill help?
By all means fill it with sand along with an air bladder platform such as the Siesmic Sink along with some good isolation footers under both preamps.Just my two cents.
