Please tell me the wait will be work it......my rack


The supply chain issues have certainly sucked. I am waiting for the LAST piece of my set up.....my rack. I’ve been waiting over a year for all my components to come in and the rack has been the longest wait. Please tell me it’s worth the time and $$$ or offer other options for consideration that may be more available. My brother offered Critical Mass but I am trying to save a few bucks, and not clear if they have the same supply issues. Appreciate your thoughts in advance.

I'm sorry but when I see companies like Critical Mass asking somone to pay $20,000+  for a rack to set their equipment on, I have to ask what flavor Kool Aid they are serving with that.  Don't want to hear the debate.  I'm just expressing an opinion.  

What a surprise.   A Critical Mass dealer giving a positive review of the product!   I wonder how the folks down below are enjoying the freeze. 🤣

@jerryg123 Thanks Jerry.  It's an ever evolving process.  Lucky for me I enjoy having a hands on project on the go at all times.  

Equipment Rack with adjustable TT top - $850

Sand Filled Floating Top Amp Platforms - $85 each 

Custom Speaker Stands - $700 each. ($650 per set of Gaia 1 feet)

Iso Acoustic Gaia under TT - $200

OK, so I'm not counting my labour but the point being, you don't need to spend a wack of money.  IMHO

I don’t about profanity. I wish the moderators would remove all the threads that contain insanity. 🤣

@meadski  I'm in the process of a major re working of my system.  Picture of older version is posted above.  I'm having to move some of the heavy peices.  Here's where I am to date.  I've mounted a 2x4 to the wall, supporting the back side of a Butcher Block piece 24 x 60.  Three 2.5" dowels for front leg supports.  320 pounds of amps & power conditioner on top.  Won't be finished unitl May when my SoundLab 745's arrive.  My point here would be don't limit yourself to spending a lot of money when a little hands on can work if you set your mind to it?  

@meadski  It's easy to get carried away with Black in this hobby.  Going off the reservation with a speaker grill to accent the rest of the room.  40" x 83" Garnet Red trimmed in dark Cherry.  Last system I'll ever build but I may need to build a last house to properly accomodate it all.  😂
