AV Racks. What difference does it make?

Im not sure i understand what difference your rack could possibly have.

I understand everybody here seems to feel that reducing all sorts of vibrations is important as well.

How is that? its not like 1's and 0's get rattled off the circuit board by vibrations

Whats the point in a better rack? What is a better rack? And how does a $1,500.00 rack make anything sound better? I mean, technically, in depth, can anybody explain this phenominon?

Sounds like a buncha horse pucky to me. Kinda like the kinds new clothing.

Does anybody have a theory of how one AV rack can sound different than another? And dont give me any of that room accoustics stuff, i dont see people talking about which sitting chair is best for sound!!!! :)

"I found that wearing wingtips and khaki shorts really opened the soundstage compared to my nikes and TH bluejeans."

I have a good understanding of electronics and accoustics, but i cannot imagine any way a rack could make a difference.
What is the theory of how a Maplewood rack might sound better than an oak for example?

Do you all use racks and isolation pods at the same time?

Slappy, you are a white belt and a very poor clown. I'm the one who's notorious for spicy, fiery and entertaining posts in this forum. On classical comedy Nrchy can give you a run for your money speaking in Groucho Marx's style. So step aside. Like TWL told you, do your research and stop implying the experienced don't know.

For your information, I have mastered the art of *tuning* components using different woods, cones, materials and devices. I have absolutely no reason to write a treatsie on how to do it. You have to do your own legwork. Remember, this is a journey, not a destination.

With psychic power and primal intensity,
