If you put all (and I mean ALL) your gear on some sort of sorbothane-ish feet/pod things I think you can avoid the (perhaps silly) expense of often overpriced hifi specific racks. Really. Trust me. My groovy looking MDF and metal Walmart open rack thing with a bottom DRAWER for god's sake (and unused cables, manuals, tube meter, tubes, a map of Cuba). It's what I do (so you KNOW it's right)...except for my turntable which is on its own firm but light little table per some obscure Linn instructions I found someplace. Having said this, there may be some comfort in knowing you have invested a pile of "hobby bucks" on spiked/slung/isolated/heavy/rolling(!)/wood/particle/non wood/non particle shelves that make you happy, and that's priceless...sort of.
AFFORDABLE HIGH VFM RACKS - Opinions Please...
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I am hoping to finally upgrade my rack to an audiophile one - posted in this forum as the TT will be on the top shelf and vibration control there essential.
I'll need a 5-shelf rack about 22x18in great value for money, at around 1500 USD.
I am looking at Mapleshade, Steve Blinn, Core audio, Adona, Timbernation but also looking at the used market...would a used Zoethicus (or however it's spelled) be a 'better sounding' (yeah, you know what I mean ;-) alternative you think?
If you have any experience of any of these or similar racks and or have any advice - please let me know...MANY THANKS!
