Please tell me the wait will be work it......my rack


The supply chain issues have certainly sucked. I am waiting for the LAST piece of my set up.....my rack. I’ve been waiting over a year for all my components to come in and the rack has been the longest wait. Please tell me it’s worth the time and $$$ or offer other options for consideration that may be more available. My brother offered Critical Mass but I am trying to save a few bucks, and not clear if they have the same supply issues. Appreciate your thoughts in advance.

I'm sorry but when I see companies like Critical Mass asking somone to pay $20,000+  for a rack to set their equipment on, I have to ask what flavor Kool Aid they are serving with that.  Don't want to hear the debate.  I'm just expressing an opinion.

 I agree wholeheartedly, some of these prices are just highway robbery, but it’s the 

hitheadssay morons who actually pay that much thinking a rack will once again make unicorns crap rainbows and vomit skittles. 
best ones I bought for my amp was a massive solid cutting board, which I lightly sanded and stained cherry. It looks nice with the wood.

was 45$ on sale at bed, bath & beyond 20+ years ago

other audio on the 4 ft wide tv stand.

 

some people are too dumb and spend that much 

All I can say is I use a Core Audio PkyKraft 3L rack for the components and a special isolation shelf for the TT. This kit is amazingly well built, looks stunning and gives complete isolation from feedback. Here is what the system looked like before I purchased the TT shelf:

Yes.  These rack prices are complete nonsense.

Be thankful there is a delivery hold up and try to use this to cancel your order and get your $$$$$$ back.

I put all my gear longitudinally on very heavy marble and stone. In all must weigh a ton.  Yes.  This is far more solid than wooden shelves, however many butchers handed in their blocks for big buxx.

Need to get this into perspective.  Big $$$$$ on racks is even sillier than big $$$$$ on cables.

@erik_squires   shouldn't burn money on ButcherBlox

Plus one on Core Audio racks. I have both the 3 level and an isolation stand for my power amp. Arnold is a true artist and fabulous to work with. Photos are in my profile.
