Look into Live-Vibe Audio
SEEKING A NEW AUDIO RACK
Seeking to make a change.
I saw a VTI 6 glass shelf rack with chrome poll legs.
Is having glass shelves going to be a problem with resonances and other sound issues?
I have the Triton 5's speakers with 2 stereo SVS subs, Rogue Audio Magnum 2 tube power amp and Rogue Audio pre amp. & a Cary CD player. In short, the VTI rack looks the best, as the system is in my living room, like the glass shelves, but don't want to sacrifice performance for looks. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks.

The Rack Design in the Link is cheaper to Purchase than the requested info about a Audio Equipment Rack relating to your budget. A Rack of this design type is thought through better than some of the usual budhet designs looked at. The plus is that, it is already incorporating a methodology to manage Transferred energy and have better Isolation for Ambient Kinetic Energy. There are simple very affordable tweaks that can be incorporated that will improve the design even better for managing Kinetic Energy. Where such a design really wins, is by the design and work already produced, it is very upgradable in relation to improving isolation, that extends beyond any simplistic tweaks utilised. Also due to the Modular Design, it is very easy to choose the shelve levels that are to be treated as a methodology to improve on the already supplied Isolation. The latter methodology suggestion to further improve on Isolation will extend the Budget, but this additional cost does not need to be laid out immediately. The latter methodology would produce a Rack that I would assume will be comparable to Racks that can cost multiple $$$$$. The lower Link, shows a more expensive Rack option, that has composite support Columns, with a design to effectively manage Kinetic Energy by having Carbon Fibre utilised in the structure. The already mentioned further tweaks and design changes still remain for such a design of rack.

At that price range, You can get a McIntosh AV Rack It is taller. I don’t like racks less than 30” because of bending over and reach. I am looking at this one because I want to throw a reel to reel and another turntable. |
You can't use glass for audio shelves, it sucks. Another falsehood started by the elite audio crowd! You can't use red oak for anything audio related, it has bad sound qualities, it's just the worst species, open grained, has tannins. So that material is out for a rack. I'm using red oak because it was free. I'm sure a denser species would be better, do you really think those who suggest not using red oak have compared racks using different species of wood? And can tell a difference? |
