Looking through The Absolute Sound today I saw a 4-shelf rack from a name I recognized (can't name it right now. Prices start at $199. Looked like a nice rack.
Audio racks
I'm looking to upgrade my Sanus audio rack with a better wooden rack. I've checked out Timber Nation online and they look really nice, solid and affordable. During Axpona this year, I saw Butcher Block Acoustics now has their Rigidrack line which looks really nice as well---prices are comparable to Timber Nation. Both companies use maple and walnut. Are there others I should consider? How's the quality of each? Thanks!

Personally. I’d pass from timber nation. I had him build me a custom rack. I stipulated two tier. He made me a single tier. I even sent him a drawing to get it right. I put the unit together for the heck of it. Two post ( legs ) fit properly. The other two legs were not measured nor cut properly which caused instability. I first contacted him. I forgot his name. Sorry, that I can’t recall. He refuted all. I contacted Pay Pal. I opened a claim. Pay pal credited my account. Usually you have to provide detailed information during the claim/ investigation. That can usually last a month until a decision is made. I was refunded in less then a week!! Yup. His rep is that bad. Sometimes his racks are dead on. Other times they are one giant hot mess. I’d definitely look elsewhere. I heard Paul’s son from PS Audio makes well made racks. Might want to give them a call for further info. |
@bluorion, I would highly recommend audio rack from Core Audio Designs. In addition to what you see on his website, he can custom build anything to your exact needs. The proprietor, Arnold Marr is very methodical and meticulous in his approach. You will end up with a rack that will far exceed your visual and sonic expectations. No further component isolation or decoupling needed with his racks. You pay a bit more upfront but they are built to last...I owned his racks for 10 plus years and they still look good as new. http://coreaudiodesigns.com/products/component-racks/ |
