Racks made of wood

In my opinions equipment racks do play an important role in overall sound quality, especially where turntables are concerned. As I said earlier I use a Core Audio Design plyKraft 3L rack with my TT. Feedback isolation at obscene volume levels is perfect, even in my modest size listening  room (14' x 20'). In fact I can jump up and down, on a suspended wooden floor, right next to the turntable, and nothing happens. I can even kick the rack whilst playing a record and nothing happens, definitely don't recommend you try this at home! Try any of the above on a lot of equipment racks and see what happens.

@dekay I really like the thread you posted above brings back lots of memories of the good old days on Audiogon!

It could be less expensive and maybe more effective for some, depending on what they currently own to just decouple their current set-up. I know it's not possible in every case but, just sayin'.

Dekay,
Will the IKEA Lack rack handle a heavy turntable on the top shelf? So, 50 to 80 lbs? And, do you know if there might be any flexing in this situation using the Lack coffee tables?
Thanks,
Kenny

Ah, those were the days! I built my rack back in the day according to these specifications and it is still as good as new. Highly recommended.
