The Basso rack is approx US$4,500 for one 3 shelf rack. Its expensive and that is why I asked whether it would make a genuine difference. It looks beautiful and has a waiting time of 8 weeks for delivery. Anyways currently my flooring is wooden, the music system is on a solid wood (thick wood and very stable) TV cabinet between the two speakers. I have concluded that a good rack will make a difference for sure. Will try and incorporate it into my system in due course.
How much difference does an anti-vibration audio rack make
Hi,
I have just put together a Hi-Fi system. It's a two channel system consisting of B&W 800D3 speakers, McIntosh C1100 C+T Pre-Amp and two McIntosh MC1.25KW mono blocks. I considered buying a carbon fibre anti-vibration audio rack from Bassocontinuo (Aeon 2.0) but did not finally end up buying it due to the fact that there were two many racks in my living room which houses my Hi-Fi system. I am currently using a lovely solid wood TV cabinet to house the above equipment.
Question is whether the system gives me a sub-par performance due to the absence of a specialist audio rack or the difference is immaterial. I could not try it to determine as the carbon fibre racks are not stocked by the dealer due to the costs.
Thanks

Uhhh, the magnets in my space rack would be of a circular configuration to fit within the cylindrical support legs, as well as being in their own small compartment surrounded with something like 30 weight motor oil. There would of course be weight limitations with regard to support. Auto makers use magnetic shocks or struts..... |
@sudhirgoel Thanks for bringing Bassocontinuo to our attention. They have a surprising number of options / approaches. It’s also good to see that the Aeon 2.0 is carried by Sumiko Audio. I’m linking the Mono & Stereo write-up that offers a lot of detail on the company and approach, in addition to impressions, for those who may want to read more. https://www.monoandstereo.com/2015/06/bassocontinuo-aeon-audio-rack-review.html |
