Audio Racks & Equipment Support

Howdy fellow Agoners.I've got a half way decent rig put together(Sim Audio I-5,Monitor Audio Silver RS6's,Raysonic CD-128,cabled with MAC cables & power cords)& need a rack to put everyting on.Since I just bought my first home money is a little tight right now & the budget is about $750.00.What I'm not sure of is should I shoot the whole wad on a rack like one of Adona's base models with maple shelving or get a less expensive rack & really good vibraton control devices like BDR cones,etc..for all the gear.Thanks in advance for your help.

Look at Quadraspire out of the UK. Well-made and modular.

Good luck with the home. Why not just look around for someone in your area to build one for you with woodworking skill's. You could lower your budget to around half that, and with the money saved buy more software such as Lps or what ever.It's just a thought because of your budget, and hey might find that carpenter in the area you might need for other duties since you just bought your first home. Again the best of luck with it.

Guys I appreciate your responses but I think you've missed the intention of my question.Which method is going to extract the most performance from my gear,spending the entire amount on a performance designed audio rack OR getting a combination of something like the inexpensive VTI,StudioTech etc..rack & a complete set of isolation/vibration reduction devices like the BDR cones or Myrtlefeet etc...?Thanks again.

I would go with the performance-designed rack. You can add cones and feet later if you like.
