Rack Recommendations


Hello - I'm looking for a vertical rack recommendation for my system. I'm looking for something with 4 or 5 shelves and for it to be under 1k.

I'm considering a solid steel rack (5.4) or maybe even the new S5. Everything else I've seen is significantly more expensive. I'm wondering if there might be something I'm missing out there?

At the end of the day I'm skeptical of the value that these high dollar racks bring to a system and I'm more looking for something that "gets the job done".

My system includes:
Pass xp10
Pass x250.5
VPI Scount 2
Oppo 105
PS Audio GCPH

I appreciate any and all suggestions!

If you would think of rack(s) as a component in your system and not something that simply holds the components it will be easier to justify the amount of time and money you will spend tuning your rack with the rest of the equipment. Included with the racks are dampening, shelving and isolation choices to tune the system to your liking. My racks aren't the "best" but with carbon fiber shelving, carbon fiber cones, Sims Pucks and filling the vertical tubing with dampening material, sand and very fine gravel I've found a "sound" I like. The reduction of vibration does clean up the background,"darker background", letting you hear deeper into the music with better separation of instruments.
