MapleShade Samson V.2 and V.3 Equipment Racks


After 30 plus years in this crazy hobby I am finally looking at purchasing a good quality equipment rack. I've added a new turntable recently and am looking at some additional pieces and now I have started to run out of room to stack components.

Has anyone used the MapleShade Samson V2 or V3 racks? From online pictures they appear to be very nice. Like most everything else though they are a bit pricey... However, most likely they would be the last rack I ever buy. Leaning toward s the V3 so that I can add a second TT on top down the road. I would probably get the support rods custom cut to about 40" to facilitate the proper final height. Anyone have these or used them? Nice? Worth the big change?

FWIW, I replaced my Grand Prix Audio rack with a Mapleshade Samson. It simply sounded better and was about 1/3 the cost.
Ebm ,i realize you posted nearly four years ago, however I am looking for a new rack. I read somewhere that the symposium had a bright and harsh sound. Not what I'm looking for in my room. I have constellation amp/preamp, ps audio direct stream, p5, parasound JC3 +, OPPO 105d and a project tt. Do you have SS or tube stuff?
Thanks! for sharing- All.
a great rack can certainly add value to any system!
