VTI Racks Any good?

The primary advantage of the VTI is the flexibility of stacking shelves in a variety of configurations. I like the principle of inverted metal cones in cups to diminish floor-borne vibrations. One problem is that it is light-weight. To solve this, I have weighted the shelves and components and placed dampening materials underneath them. The solidsteel seems like a better choice if you like the configuration. I still think that other materials are worth trying underneath components, depending on their type (electronics vs transports) and their weight.

I bought the 404 and some extra shelfs. Mounted on concrete/carpet with shot in the legs. I like it for the flexibility of the shelves. It is lite out of the box, but the lead fixed that.I used a maple slab on the top shelf for my Merrill deck. Scott tubes underneath , isolation is good. For $179 dollars and shot it is a great bargain and the money I saved on Billy Bags I put in the local indie to increase my music collection, after all that is what it is all about.

You might want to check the S B Designs ( steveblinndesigns.com ) racks. I got one about a month ago and was just blown away - stable, beautiful, effective and a great bang for the buck!
