Hand crafted equipment rack?

I second Timbernation. Chris is a great, humble pie guy. Have the legs threaded for cones, but do NOT purchase his. Audiopoints or the like. Don't want to skimp.

A big ALSO: I would not purchase a thing from Tom's links. He was probably goof'n witcha. Whatever you put on that crap will your entire system sound poor. Very hard to go inexpensive with a rack. Maybe less expensive. Worth the investment. Easy to recommend if we can get a glimpse of your rig?

Chris said two weeks from the time of the order. I had Audiopoints dropship the points and threads. It has been a week, so I'm figuring this baby should be in my living room come Friday? Monday at the latest? He said he'll let me know when it ships. He's not far from my crib so it shouldn't take long to ship. Pa to NY

yep...

I prefer much thicker maple shelving. 2 inches minimum. Same with the legs and high quality points/cones at the bottom of each leg. I have used Audiopoints for years with excellent results.

I like the look of maple. Natural, oil rubbed and buffed. The combination of Audiopoints and Herbies is what I am playing with. Audiopoints are the known factor because I always coupled. Now, new speakers have a huge downfiring subwoofer, producing prodidgious air movement that will affect my SET. Experimenting with decoupling and coupling. $$ ratio: rack solo vs rack fitted Audiopoints/ Herbies is a bit disproportionate, but worth trying. This strategy was recommended to me by another Zu Definition IV owner with a geographic problem--proximity of SET to speaker. Problematic due to how close my SET is to the speaker. Will let you know, but it has worked for another audiophool/mentor, who has NEVER steered me worng.

Herbies has a 90 day refund policy if not satisfied. My tympanics will know by then. I was talking with Robert about the very couping invention you were telling me about years ago. I'd love to hear more. Try to motivate YoYo Ma to try one. It can be done.
