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 ninety day home trial period with some "footers" ideas from
Herbiesaudiolab.com
should allow you to use your existing furniture, at the same time experiencing a significant audible upgrade. It will give you a baseline of vibration control, against which to compare any future special rack purchase. Or, you can retain Herbie's ideas even with a rack.
His products seem to work well in every application where I have tried them. There are a few variations in his line to allow for tweaking the tweak.
And, the cost of his products is very reasonable.
