Hanging Audio Rack?


I was thinking again, sorry. I'm wondering if any of you have tried to hang your equipment from the ceiling. I know turn tables have been hung, I had one in my dorm. What I want to know is if anyone has had experience trying to hang a steel or other material rack. If you did, how did it work, what were the sonic benefits? If you haven't tried it, do any of you have thoughts on what might be expected? I'm thinking of four point suspension from the ceiling joists using as thin of wire as possible. Thoughts?

Been there,done that.
It sux.
Sonically, the result is a huge open stage but dynamics and timing suffer greatly.If you can't hear or don't place a high value to PRaT, you might like it, tho.
pARTicular uses it in one of their designs.
With electro mechanical devices like turntables and transports, you are adding a secondary suspension system with results largely influenced by Chaos theory.

Best,
