Metro shelving for your audio gear?


A friend suggested that I use this instead of expensive audio racks. I actually used it in the past on a lower fi system and it worked just fine. Any problems using this with a higher end system?

I used it once on a large premium set up. Doesn't work as well as you think. Lots of vibration and you have to add solid shelving under most of your equipment. Cables are in view so have good cables. I had set up in an audio room in the basement. It was adequate there but as far as looks go probably not ready for the den. Very adjustable and strongĀ 

Heres my computer audio system on metro shelves.

I had no idea what you were writing about, Google to the rescue !! I use this type of shelving in my garage, got a good deal on some units that were being offered for sale during a store's closing.

I suspect it would be quite adequate for most any audio system - very sturdy, excellent air flow, and easily adjustable for shelf height, etc. I'd say go for it and then let us know how it works for you.
