Lovan racks are not too bad, considering that they are modular and flexible. They are just "out of fad" now. I had used them in my system before, but they are now around the house doing other duties, because I got an unbelievable deal on these Solid Tech racks. Good: Modular, stackable, cones under each module, cheap on the used market. Bad: flimsy MDF shelf If you are to use Lovan racks, here are a few things you should do: 1/ use glue gun and fill the gaps around each of the legs; 2/ fill each leg with sand about 1/2 full to start with; 3/ shop around your local granite kitchen countertop stores for cutout pieces. It pays to shop around, as you will be quoted anywhere from $20 to $200/piece. 4/ go to parts-express.com and purchase sheets of vibration dampening sheets, sandwich it between the granite (top) and the MDF shelf (bottom). 5/ use blutak or any other cheap ones from Walmart between MDF shelf and the metal frame. And now you have a fairly decent rack. Frank |
My three racks are all standard big box store fluff. I found them, and paid like $150 each for them. Filled the square section tubes with dried sand. use butyl rubber bottle stoppers under the feet to dampen the glass shelving. I also 'wedge' which is make the equipment tight between the shelves, having dampening to the underside of the shelf above from the equipment below. I am happy, and they will last me the rest of my life. Primarily the good news is I have my racks away from the speakers along the side wall. So the vibration problem is seriously reduced. I KNOW this is not answering the op questions, but for others it may be interesting. |
