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?

Seems that most things are pricier since orange man bad gone.

Gird your loins, we are in for a bumpy ride.........

You don't have to break the bank to get something that is very good and affordable. Look no further than Butcher Block Acoustics for extremely well made racks that are relatively affordable.

The only equipment that needs isolation is the turntable.  

Absolute rubbish............

For anyone who cares about how the music actually sounds, I’d recommend you stay away from VTI. They look nice enough, but not well made and the rack rings like a bell.  It will, and I mean WILL change the way your system sounds.

@dekay I know how good those Neuance shelves are. I’ve had one for nearly twenty years. I wish Ken were still making them.
