Audio Racks, Just How beneficial? looking for guidance in upgrading

On the Gon, there are plenty of stories where there has been members with a evolving interest in equipment support.

There are stories where changing support equipment has supplied immeasurable improvement, which is the report types that are wanted to be taken on board.

The interesting thing is that the most encouraging reports are not all from individuals having spent multi $0000's, they also come from individuals who have spent multi $00's and even multi $0's.

How aesthetically pleasing a Support Rack must be will potentially move one towards the multi $00's, but aesthetics is a cost that is not an improvement in function.

The Best Function can be found at all the above values that can be allocated.

My input will be to find a way to include Support Plinths even Structure if the desirability of the product is recognised, to be produced from Phenolic Resin Impregnated Densified Wood,

My mention of Densified Wood was a offering to not let the OP overlook it as a option, as it is one that is an important option to learn about.

I have been doing catch up with the individual who measures all types of materials for Damping and Dissipation Properties.

There are updates to be seen where the Typical Sample Sizes of 100mm x 100mm (4" x 4") are being tested as a typical plinth size of 400mm x 350mm (16" x 14").

The latest data on the Plinth Size Material has shown a Damping Factor of 0.750 

Additionally, I am to have my Pre Amp's that were designed and ready to be built, housed in a Permali Case.

The EE, has had a rethink on the design, topology and the Pre Amp's now back to a design stage. The Good News is less Casing Material will be needed if all works out.

I am keen to rehouse my Valve Phon' into a Permali Case as well to match the Pre Amp's.

I have recently seen there are Capacitor Clamp Rings being produced from P'holz where the clamped components are housed in a P'holz Casing.
