Audio Rack Opinions

After a fair amount of research, I have landed on 3 candidates for upgrading my audio rack:

  1. Symposium Acoustics Foundation Ultra 
  2. Core Audio Plykraft 4L
  3. Butcher Block Audio Rigid Rack with 4 shelves 

This will be used with the following system:

Palmer 2.5i Turntable

  • LFD NCSE Mk3 amplifier
  • Sutherland Little Loco phono stage
  • Oppo UDP 203 CD player
  • Palmer turntable power supply
  • This sits on hardwood floors to the left of my Harbeth speakers which are Tontrager stands

I am not in the market for a $10k plus rack, but would love to hear opinions on the above racks or any other suggestions  

 

Thanks in advance

So I thought an update was in order: I am going with the Core Audio Designs’ rack. After a few calls and multiple emails, I am very happy with my decision. I will wait to post photos once I have the rack set up with my system, but want to thank everyone for their input and recommendations.

As I reflect on how fortunate I have been in this lifetime regarding family, friends, health, careers, and my journey in music appreciation and audio components, my experience getting to know Arnold Marr of Core Audio Designs ranks high on my list of things for which I am grateful. Oh, I almost forgot to mention his superbly crafted racks. My system consists mostly of tube components and his racks allow the natural warmth of instruments and vocals with plenty of micro/macro detail to fill my listening room. Yes, in the best sense of the word, color me an Arnold Marr/ Core Audio Designs “fanboy!”
