Metal, aluminum, or wood for a rack ?

I'm going to be purchasing a new rack and would like some input on materials used on audio racks.
Is there a sonic differance between metal or aluminum on the frame of an audio rack ?
My amp is an Almarro A318B SET tube amp.
My CDP is an Emotiva ERC-1.
Thank you for any info.

Nice rack. I wish I took woodshop in high school. I got stuck with two semesters of printshop due to scheduling problems. Maybe in my golden years I'll take it up.

Beautiful rack John!!! You did good.

It's amazing what a touch of wood can do.

Very nice job indeed! Your work has given me some ideas for a new rack system. I think I may try alternating layers of 1/2" mdf and 1/2" plywood.
