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.

Admin, 

 

Can you private message me and tell me what profanity was used?  I have no recollection of using any profanity in the post.  I'd seriously like to know what was removed.  If I slipped up and indeed used profanity, I am truly sorry and regretful.  But again, I am at a lose to remember ANY profane language used.  Thank you.

@bigtwin I most certainly did not think there would be so much interest in this. My ask was for other racks to consider as my Basso Continuo racks have been delayed almost 4 months! My brother uses Critical Mass but they are a bit out of my budget. I appreciate all of the comments about racks i had never heard of....and am reading up on them all. I have large McIntosh gear so not all racks will work (Basso builds with Mc in mind). My dealer reopens tomorrow (the 3rd) and will be consulting with him on some of these options. i like the concept of a less-expensive rack coupled with newer dampening technology(s). Appreciate all the banter here...new to Audiogon, Should have made this investment years ago!!

 

@meadski  I'm in the process of a major re working of my system.  Picture of older version is posted above.  I'm having to move some of the heavy peices.  Here's where I am to date.  I've mounted a 2x4 to the wall, supporting the back side of a Butcher Block piece 24 x 60.  Three 2.5" dowels for front leg supports.  320 pounds of amps & power conditioner on top.  Won't be finished unitl May when my SoundLab 745's arrive.  My point here would be don't limit yourself to spending a lot of money when a little hands on can work if you set your mind to it?  

I'm disappointed in the audiogon community. All these posts and no one has made the obvious/obligatory comment about how nice a good rack looks in a listening room.
