I went from a cheap glass and tubing rack to one of steel and air dried maple; as currently configured, the m/t rack weighs 250 lbs. At the time of change, everything was SS, and was not much above entry level. After moving the equipment to the new rack, I had instruments appearing seemingly out of nowhere in music I had listened to for 30+ years. racks make a great deal of difference.
How important is the rack you use for your components
I’ve been browsing thru people’s systems on audiogon and have seen all different kinds of racks, shelves, bookcases , stands etc. For people’s equipment. My question is how important is the rack to the sound of the system. Has anyone gone from a basic rack to a premium and/or home constructed rack and noticed a marked improvement? And when I say marked, I mean marked. Looking for input
