hey i got one- DELUXE JUSTARACKS by Michael Green-
if you don't mind the cheap look or denting and scraping the finish much too
easily, these preceded the Salamander racks that are made today (which look much nicer but...)
ANYWAY, the deluxe shelves were deeper and two inches thick MDF with the
usual threaded posts and (big) nuts above and below the 4 corners. they came
in black or a grey mottled look. i bought two of them, 4 shelves each, from Audio Advisor years ago and went through the laborious set-up procedure.
they cost $450 each. the only other product i know of that is in the same ball park are the SAMSON racks from Mapleshade, which are of course much nicer looking with real oak shelves and much nicer hardware as well.
but whether it's source components or even a turntable (as long as it's no bigger than my VPI Aries-1)- ESPECIALLY a turntable, these racks are as solid as they are plain-jane. and i don't know how many times i have adjusted the
shelves to accomodate new components.
i have always tried my best not to scrape them up too much when moving components around, because i will probably never get the motivation to take my system apart and get something "prettier"-not with all the advantages of leaving well enough alone.
