Anyone use Salamander Design racks? Comments?


Salamader Design seems to offer a wide variety of semi-custom rack options. Does anyone have experience with these racks? If so, would you please do a quick rundown of the pros and cons?

I'm using a twin 30 with added MAP isolation platforms for my digital and analog front ends. I also use BDR cones under my pre and amp. They look good, are very flexible and a bit of a PITA to set up the first time (but if you like tweaking a TT, this should be child's play). Using a solid cherry top platform and the cherry front black MDF shelves makes a relatively cost-effective solution, but this is NOT anywhere's near SOTA for vibration control and/or isolation. IMO, a very good storage solution with addtnl tweaking required.
Tvas- MAP is a Danish company (Audio Magic Productions). The Salamander Cherry is natural cherry which of course will darken with age, and will be lighter when you get it than the samples at GG. I too am curious if the Neunance is a drop in replacement for the shelf. If so, I would imagine that this stand could then become a top performer as well being convenient and attractive.
Thanks, Tvad. At $200 each not cheap, but seems like a better deal than BDR full size shelves and I bet Ken would help with other tweaks for a Salamander stand.
