Racks vs. furniture w/pods, points, aurios, etc?


Finding a rack I love is not hard to do if I want to spend $6,000. I just saw a double wide rix rax with inlaid wood and it is exactly what I want, but 6K is just a bit much for me.

My question is this - Am I wasting my time and money if I buy or make a beautiful piece of furniture and utilize every expensive pod, spike, roller block, platform, etc. to isolate my equipment? My system consists of Well tempered turntable, CAT Ultimate, Gamut amp, Offrande speakers and an AudioMeca cd.

Thanks for your help.

Agree that the Rix Rax line is simply stunning, as is the price.

Have you looked into Zoethecus? Also has a furniture look, and while not cheap seems to be well made.

Another that you may want to check out is the Finite Elemente Pagode Master Reference line.

Perhaps not quite the furniture look of the first two but makes liberal use of wood and supposedly stands up to the best in terms of sonic quality. It's made in Germany and distributed by Immedia (http://www.immediasound.com/), who you could check with to see if there's a dealer nearby.
