Least expensive solid stereo stand?

Salamander can work well IF you put  2-4 " maple slabs on the MDF 
 but "harsh" sounding stock.
The beautifully finished 3 "  maple sold on here by Dawns Stands in
 Michigan@ 105$ shipped work a treat and look very elegant on black
 Salamander . I bought 3 from her and best money I ever spent for my system.

thanks!

I have a Salamander rack. I just put a Bamboo chopping block from IKEA on one of the MDF shelves. Then I raised up the component (CD player) with Maple blocks. I did some critical listening and found that this was a very good tweak and the cost of the chopping block was just $14.99+tax. I already had the blocks as they were scrap from a kitchen. The chopping block is not large enough to replace the shelf, but it didn't seem to matter at all. I suppose you could do this on any rack and save a bunch of money over buying a specialized audio rack. I could only imagine the 2 or 3" maple slabs mentioned above to be at least as good.

Great!  thank you Pokey 

Thank you, I'll look into the Salamander
