Audio / Stereo Rack


Hello, I recently found out that the solidsteel rack or stand I ordered has yet to be built, 7 months after ordering. I am looking for a double-wide rack or stand that will hold my system including two heavy monoblocks. I am looking for a double wide unit that has 3 or 4 shelves not including the top. I am wanting something that can be ordered now and can be made and provided quickly. Any suggestions would be much appreciated and very helpful.

Thank you!

@pindac I checked the pitch at Lowe’s, and versus 5/16”-18 and it matched neither. I think I recall the pitch on the 8mm thread as being 1mm, where I figure you would need to special order a coarser thread at 8x1.5mm. A 5/16”-18 would start to thread into one of the 8mm locknuts, but could not be threaded completely through: it would jam just as it got flush with the back side.
However, it was another story with the 1/8” thick disk welded inside the leg tubes, there weren’t really enough threads on the disk to interfere, it wasn’t hard at all to force it through the first time, and then it pretty much spun free. The assembly only calls for hand tightening, and I applied all the torque of which I am capable without incident.

I was really surprised at the pricing of those Mapleshade racks. Considering that they are just wood and threaded steel stock and bolts, they are very expensive!

I have 4x Timbernation solid maple platforms (2" thick). I then had solid brass rod legs machined to a spike by a CNC shop and cut to various lengths so each shelf is stackable on top of each other. It all weights a ton.

Had a few extra sets of brass rod legs done so if a taller amplifier is ever purchased I can put them in to raise one of the shelves.

Also purchased 2 extra Timbernation platforms to sit behind each speaker to hold the various tweaks, grounding boxes, network switches e.t.c

All up it cost me about $800 USD to get made, which was cheap when you consider how spectacular it looks. But this was 10 years ago and it will probably cost twice that amount now.
