You can't use glass for audio shelves, it sucks. Another falsehood started by the elite audio crowd! You can't use red oak for anything audio related, it has bad sound qualities, it's just the worst species, open grained, has tannins. So that material is out for a rack. I'm using red oak because it was free. I'm sure a denser species would be better, do you really think those who suggest not using red oak have compared racks using different species of wood? And can tell a difference?
SEEKING A NEW AUDIO RACK
I currently have an audio rack with maple shelves by Salamander.
Seeking to make a change.
I saw a VTI 6 glass shelf rack with chrome poll legs.
Is having glass shelves going to be a problem with resonances and other sound issues?
I have the Triton 5's speakers with 2 stereo SVS subs, Rogue Audio Magnum 2 tube power amp and Rogue Audio pre amp. & a Cary CD player. In short, the VTI rack looks the best, as the system is in my living room, like the glass shelves, but don't want to sacrifice performance for looks. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks.
