Component racks

I am putting together a tube system and need a racking system for two turntables, and 5 tube components (pramp, 2 monoblocks, phono preamp, and cd player)and surge prtector. The only thing I know about racks is they come in a lot of flavors and can be very expensive. With tubes, they will more than likely have to be adjustable. I have two svelte shelves and two amp stands, 3 X 3 still points, 1 X 3 roller blocks and 1 X 3 roller block jr. that I am using with my current system on a wood entertainment system. Reading forums and threads has left me confused. I am open for comments and suggestions. Thank you.

I have a Salamander 2.0 with a tube amp on it off to the side, and a 5.0 with a tube preamp, tube tuner cd player power supply with a line conditioner. The shelves are infinitly adjustable and open all around to let your equipment stay cool. Get the one with the 5/8" rods instead of the 3/8". You can also get casters for them too.Google thesimpletvstandstore they have some on sale. Or Salamanderdesign.com Good luck

I like the Adona racks. They look good, sound good, and many have shelves that are infinitely adjustable

Mapleshade racks is what I want to own. I have one Mapleshade platform which I like. I love the looks and the solid construction. There are many favorable comments on the positive sonics of these racks. I would stay away from any rack that supposedly kills vibrations.

hi Roxy54, Rhljazz,

if you don't mind me asking, how hv you determined if your rack sounds good or hv positive sonics (over what you'd consider an inferior rack)?
