I think you can, if you wish, build an absorption platform and place it under the rack. Say, buy and cut plywood to size, cover with thick rubber (yoga mat or polymer garage flooring), another wood, different density rubber, another plywood sheet, and then granite tiles on top under the rack legs. Or design your own - few layers from different materials.
Does anyone have a good or bad experience using a PC server rack for audio equipment?
I have a 2 rail PC server rack with 7 steel shelves that was used for all my PC equipment that I am no longer using. Each shelf is attached with 8 machine screws and are 17 1/2" W X 19" D, providing a very stable rack. My equipment will all fit, barely. I was thinking of putting 1/4" MDF board on the steel shelf for some (if little) vibration absorption. Has anybody tried something similar? By today's standards I have a very low end lo-fi system consisting of vintage 1976 Marantz equipment, speakers are Revel Performa F208 floor-standing loudspeakers. Streaming is done via BlueSound Node.
