Anyone use Salamander Design racks? Comments?

I have a Synergy Triple 20 and agree with most of what's been said.

Pluses
- flexibility to deal with component changes
- disassembly is NOT required to move/add a shelf if you buy the optional shelf support thingies (forget the name, but they work)
- doors hide components while providing ventilation
- very sturdy BQ, I've got 400+ pounds of gear in mine and it doesn't care
- decent wood finish, not as nicely finished as our B&W's but very few things are

Minuses
- very poor vibration control, treatments/tweaks are mandatory
- not cheap

On the whole we're happy with it. It's in the living room, where an open rack of gear would simply be unacceptable. It was the best compromise for our needs we could find in six months of searching. Obviously YMMV.

Agree with the posts above, I own a Twin 30. If you are getting doors for them, you can potentially load the rack with 500 lb of iron or brick to increase mass and improve vibration control, and the best part is you can hide those ugly things behind the closed doors.

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.

Thanks everyone for your input. It seems there are more Salamander Design users than I thought, and it's good to hear all points of view.

Swampwalker, please educate me...what are "map isolation platforms"?

I love the Salamander products! I have a simple TV table for my TV in beautiful cherry veneer, but also a Twin 30 rack for my audio system. They look nice and are highly flexible in terms of adjusting shelves. They easily hold heavy components. I use the mesh doors and sides. One of the hinges went bad and they quickly shipped a replacement free. In terms of isolation, I use either Sistrum or Neuance for that purpose. You can have custom Neuance shelves made to replace the stock shelves.
