An audio rack that really does make a difference.


Looking on spending up to $3000. on a rack for my system. I’m currently using a older Billy bags tri-point with cracked glass shelves. Would like to get a four post stand so it becomes more stable than the three post Billy Bags. Looking for something that will take it to the next level without taking my pocket book along with it. I’ve looked at Solid Tech and Adonis. 
Thanks Mike

I BOUGHT a pair of 4-shelf Michael Green Deluxe Justaracks in black
years ago. Like Salamander racks of today, they are infinitely adjustable
using simple nuts and bolt design. The shelves are two inches thick, and come with spiked feet. Salamander racks are much less substantial but the practicality is better than anything else out there, except for Mapleshade. They will build you an adjustable rack any way you choose
but it will cost you a ton of money. The only other choice is a local carpenter who will do exactly what you want, or a kitchen cabinet contractor who will build you what you want with MDF and covered with MICA (which is tough and comes in a huge choice of colors and "wood" finishes). I had a beautiful amp stand made like that in piano black and it's as sturdy (2 inches thick and heavy) as you could want. The price? $150 delivered.
I am using the Solid Tech hybrid and it has worked well.  Cost effective.  The legs are hollow which allows you to fill them with sand.  Excellent vibration control for the price.  

hi, i would look for a used, finite element, they are on the used market and really work, master reference, depending on how many levels you need, i would get one, but out of my price range, using audiophile base, very good, 
I don’t stare at mine George
Then you don’t have any imaging to look at, that’s why.

is just the most practical place for it
Image placement and depth is not important to you then.

This member below tried it and found out what he was missing, and ceased being a "glitz queen" staring at his equipment from that day on. 
Well, I took a little advice trying my rack off to the side.
First and foremost to say that it didn’t make huge difference, would be the understatement of this century.
I think I solved most of issues regarding everything. The two biggest improvements: spacial depth and much lower noise floor.


@duckworp  Interesting post about the CM CS Footers, I have heard very mixed results about these...some raves, and a lot of disappointments. One thing, they are sure pricey! 
I wonder if you could elaborate a little as to your post. 
BTW, the reasoning behind their working tech...relying on the 2nd rule of Thermodynamics, seems to me to be nothing more than 'snake oil'!
