Thanks! So many of us live near good carpenters; it seemed like a no-brainer to stay local on this. Plus, custom design!
Denver and Front Range furniture maker -- just did my audio rack!
Just a head's up that I had a wonderful audio rack made by Clay Street Woodworks in Morrison, CO.
He worked with me on dimensions, materials, and it will be both nice and low and rock solid for my rig. Very cost competitive with everything else out there, and custom made. FYI, Colorado audio peeps.
Thanks! Not sure what legs are. 2" top shelf, 3" bottom, both maple. I wanted it about 4' across, 18" deep, and as close to the floor as possible, since I do not want to spend on long interconnects and I don't have balanced gear -- in other words, stuff has to be at the front. Mono blocks will go on platforms to the left and right of the rack, if all goes to plan, and my Pass XA 25 will go on the rack. |
Thanks, all. @elrod Nat is a super nice person -- he was a gentle, kind, and very supportive teacher to both my children. I hope he flourishes doing something he loves just as much. Yes, can't scrimp on materials! Good call! |
@denverfred I just learned (from a fellow audiophile) that Nobsound springs, Townshend podiums, and Synergistic Hfts are huge. Heaven help me. |
I did 2" on top because I believe lighter gear will be up there -- streamer, DAC, Preamp. Lower shelf may have a very heavy Pass Labs amp. I don't even know if the above makes sense from a vibration point of view, I just thought, "thicker, heavier on the bottom" might look better, too. I bet 2" on each shelf would be fine and would look good, too. |
It might be a bit north of 1.2k, so please don't quote me, but it's really in that neighborhood. Since it's custom (and based on the current prices for materials) all actual information needs to be part of specific conversations. Just mentioning this so I don't accidentally set expectations that I should be setting. |
@denverfred They're on my used watch list. Can't pay full price...just can't. |
Thanks, @kennyc He doesn't usually do audio stuff, so his prices reflect...reality. |
