Audio Rack Opinions

Another vote for Symposium!

<<IMHO racks represent the least bang for your audio bucks. The only component that significantly benefits is the turntable, which requires isolation from structural borne resonances and footfalls. For the table, a wall mount shelf properly installed is best or a dedicated stand properly positioned in the room or better still on the concrete floor of your basement. For the rest of your gear an inexpensive basic rack is fine—add a Symposium Svelte Shelf beneath your digital player if you want to go a bit further. Spend what you save on music or component upgrades that will actually increase your musical enjoyment.>>

I tend to agree, but my current rack is a "tripod" with glass shelves, and last week I luckily noticed that the shelf with LFD had almost pulled out of the back bracket, thus prompting the search.  As noted, my Palmer is VERY heavy, and I listen to LPs about 99.9% of the time, so goal one is a foundation for that,

Space and logistics does not allow a wall-mounted shelf or a separate stand, so I am going to focus on a single rack.

I've been happy with my rack from Hi-Fi racks in the UK. You can customize the rack right in their website. There was no import duty.

What about quadraspire?  Good match with the LFD.

You are right -- I forgot to put that one on the list.  Although its appearance will require some additional spousal management....LOL
