Regards to the Rack

I've been a builder for a long time. I mostly work with stone, so call me a mason if you want to assign a name. As with any type of building, the foundation dertermines the performance and layout of each consecutive layer.

So I come to my point. Recently I have entertained purchasing an equipment rack that costs more than my CDP. The justification-the foundation plays a larger role in performance than I previously thought. Before I was content with an uneven antique credenza but now I have begun to believe that foundation is the answer to allowing components to perform to their potential even if the cost is significant.

The question is here, are there others who share similar opinions of the fundamentals of foundation or am I just off my rocker to think I'll get that much more noticable preformance from a rack? Well no need to answer the latter part really, I am an audio-nut so we already know the answer there.

Regards
Peter

The precision rack guys are around, but the public gets bombarded with marketing that varies from one end to the other. It is easier to show and explain benefits at a hifi dealer... but they are all drying up due to direct Internet manufacturers. The closing and struggles of local dealers will be a big loss in many markets.

We run audio demos for people who don't think racking, shielding or anything else matters... they ALWAYS buy after the demo.

Many manufacturers offer one good thing or another, it is just important to address the most vital component and what it benefits from.

It also would not hurt to go buy a Trifield meter and "see" the environmental issues that you normally cannot.
