Best audio racks


I am planning on buying some new audio racks, but most of this stuff is fairly plain looking to me. Does anybody have some cool manufacturers websites to share where I can find some racks that are a bit more exotic?

Depending on your taste and how handy you are, you may want to consider retrofitting a piece of "real" furniture to house your components. I prefer that the electronics be "out of site" so have used a 200 year old Tansu cabinet with sliding doors for this purpose the past year. I have seen many pie safes, liquor cabinets, freestanding wardrobes, etc. at the local rummage sales that would also suit this purpose and look good doing it. We recently added tube amplification to the system (which requires more space to operate in) so are in the process of relocating the electronics to a hallway closet. Because of this I will now be using a traditional equipment rack (ugly as sin) with Neuance shelving added as it will not be in open view. I expect the new setup to sound superior, but the Tansu did not sound bad at all and was somewhat immune to air born vibration. The furniture cabinets can be fitted with upturned spikes/Vibrapods/cones, etc. for custom shelving or anything else that fits your plans.
Nice info to have Kitch (I spent 15 years in the design industry and never bothered to research one of my favorite aquisitions). Mine is missing a few of the brass plates and shows pretty much normal wear for its age (however with some light damage) and has a lot of shrinkage to the back and drawer bottoms. It is not a show piece, but we love it. It will still store our CD collection amongst many other things for the time being.
