Equipment rack for vintage equipment?
I'm looking for an equipment rack or two for my vintage equipment. Probably my favorite that I've seen (that isn't $5,000+) is the Stands Unique, which unfortunately is European and no longer produced. I do not believe a rack affects the sound nor am I worried about vibration, so let's leave those attributes out of consideration. Let's say $750 max each, however I'd pay a little more if the looks blow me away.
Features I'd prefer:
Features I don't prefer:
Equipment:
Racks I like, but have already rejected (either because the shelves won't hold the weight, they're discontinued, not available in the States, or too expensive):
Features I'd prefer:
- Something that compliments the equipment or disappears.
- Probably glass shelves
- Shelves must hold 55 lbs.
- Open design for good cooling.
- Prefer wood posts, but open if the rack is attractive
- Luxurious look would be a bonus, but probably not do-able in this price range
Features I don't prefer:
- VTI, Salamander, BDI, Bell'O, Lovan
- All wood
- Too much metal, especially silver
- All black
- Utilitarian looking
- Bulky
- Enclosed sides

- Pioneer SA-8800 integrated amp
- Pioneer TX-7800 tuner
