Opinions on Glass Shelves

I am thinking about buying a new audio rack. When I tap on the shelf below the shelf on which my turntable sits while the needle is on an LP at rest, I can hear the a slight echo in my speakers.

I’ve looked into various audio racks including some from Billy Bags. The salesperson at Billy Bags told me that their ¾” cracked glass was sound-deadening and would provide excellent sound isolation. To me this is counterintuitive.

Has anyone had any experience with cracked glass from Billy Bags?

Has anyone had any experience with glass shelves in general?

Some will tell you any glass shelf should be avoided.

Some very highly regarded shelving systems including those from Naim and Wilson Benesch use glass shelves.

Unfortunately you will get people on both sides who are convinced those on the other side are clueless. Sorry to be of no help but the effectiveness of things like shelves, footers, etc. are highly dependent on the equipment they will used with.

Buy used and experiment. Have fun.
