Thoughts on the new Mapleshade


I just stumbled onto the a new rack by Mapleshade. http://www.mapleshaderecords.com/tweaks/samson.html

The design has me interested in that it uses maple shelves which have been praised in several other threads.

Your thoughts and or your experiences about this rack system would be appreciated.

Not to stir the pot, but what do you suppose his markup is? The rack looks great except for the insane price. Curious how he touts his cork footers at $24; what appears to be the same exact item may be had on Audiogon for $10!

"I evolved the IsoBlock specifically for our maple platforms. I tuned by ear to give just the right vertical, horizontal and torsional resonant frequencies for best sonic isolation."" Huh??? I wish I could tune by ear in three planes. Perhaps Rcreations [who had offered them first if I'm not mistaken] can enlighten us...

His CDs are another matter, and priced fairly. But the sonics are uneven disc to disc, imo. Some great artistry nonetheless.
