vibration and resonance


I need to get rid of vibration and resonance in my homemade rack that is to "lively and rings like a bell". I was told to try DYNAMAT on the underside of the shelves. Would cork be the same or better? What is your experience? Thanks

I spent some time last year trying to figure out what to buy to replace my fairly inexpensive target rack... here's two recommendations of very sturdy/well build racks:

SolidSteel 6.4 (four shelves) retails around $ 1200.

Soundanchor 4 space (four shelves) around $ 1000.

I ended up going with two of the SolidSteel 5.4 (around 600) but wish now I'd gone all the way with the 6.4
Ikea in your area buy lack tables. there based on the torolyt stands that were built for linns during the late part of the 80s the principle was light yet very ridged structures are better at reducing unwanted vibration then massive solid struture. I think many have gotten away from this and have gone back to massive blocks of marble and slate are better controlling vibration?
Drtalsma:

Can you describe the actual rack you built. This might be useful for providing better comments. It's not that clear from your threads what finally you built.
Call Steve @ Herbie's Audio and talk with him. I'm sure he will have some worthwhile suggestions.
If you remain with your current rack DynaMat should improve it significantly. MUCH better than cork. However, once applied consider DynaMat a permanent tweak since it is not easily removed.
