That is just it. When I was much younger and had a large room with plenty of space, then the subject probably wouldn't come up. However, as an older guy with a bad back, living in a smallish condo, convenience is very attractive.
Casters on equipment rack?
As one of my many Covid projects, I am building two new racks for my equipment and I am curious about whether using casters would adversely effect the sound quality. The racks are a "flexi" style using 1.25" walnut shelves and 3/4" black pipe, so they will be quite heavy (between 75 and 100lbs once loaded). I would really love to just roll them away from the wall to change anything and I can’t see any reason casters would be optional on speakers like Wilson and Tekton, but not okay on a rack. Components on the racks will be individually isolated using a combination of Isoacoustics Orea and Herbie’s dots. The floor is tile on a concrete slab. Casters are very high quality with rubber wheels and will be attached directly to the bottoms of the black pipe.
