Hi Dayglow,
Everything affects everything else and interacts with everything else. That being said a rack can make a nice improvement. Possibly equal to a cable or power cord.
Lent my son a Zoethecus rack for a bit and he was amazed at the improvement. Didn't think a rack could make a difference but he heard it so...
I like maple for blending in but other woods do as well. Most musical instruments are wood or were at one time so that seems like a reasonable idea to stick to wood.
Though I have seen some really nice metal racks but have not heard them with a system so I could be swayed.
Bette me than the rack.
