Having spent many pandemic lockdown months meticulously putting together my headphone system, it became very apparent that I had to get my gear off of the dining room table. So instead of chasing less expensive solutions like those available at IKEA, I simply went to the hi-fi store where I bought a lot of my stuff, and looked at what they put their $100K worth of components on. Yes the initial sticker shock was quite the slap in the pants, but after reading extensively I decided that investing in a five shelf Solid Steel rack was going to be well worth it.
Why are equipment racks so expensive?
I periodically look through the racks in the sales section and I cannot get over just how darn pricey those things are. I don't get it.
I mean I see racks that cost 1, 2 or even 3K. Really?
I've currently got two Ikea end tables stacked (not the Lack but some other ones) and they work rather well but sometimes I look just to see what's available. I see the prices. Then I'm back to being happy with what I've got.
So...why the prices?
