Looking For High Quality Equipment Rack

I have two sistrum racks six shelves each. I love them. The resonance handling properties is real and works. Great soundstage from my equipment using these. The cosmetics are unique and innovative. I could frankly go on and on, but there have been a large number of threads here on the subject and a search under audio points and sistrum should yeild significant results. I looked at some of the other mfgrs. you mentioned and all have fine credible products which should be seriously evaluated. I found in most cases that they were attempting to duplicate some of the audio point technology invented by Brent Rhiel at Star Sound a number of years ago. Also, while using some reasonable approaches for resonance control such as sand or other materials the micro bearings developed by Brent really do a better job. He has integrated the micro bearing in the sonoran cable, which I have and the results are pretty good. I tried the racks without the micro bearings and with sand. In both instances there significant improvement in the sound of my equipment using them. Robert at Star Sound would probably be more than glad to discuss all this with them if you call.

On Hwy 61, what's your budget for a rack?

And of the following, may I ask which is your order of priority?

o Isolation from vibration.
o aesthetics.
o price.
o flexibile configurations.
o number of shelves.
o proper ventalation
o mobility (casters or spikes).
o height

Ksales, thank for your response. You're not alone in praising the Sistrum. I cannot spike the rack directly to the floor. There will have to be some sort of floor protector. Will this impact the effectiveness of the Sistrum?

Stehno, my priorities (not in any order) are:

- looks
- vibe isolation (from external sources & other components)
- flexible configurations (3 to 6 shelves)
- price (will pay high dollars for perfection)

There is only one....Grand Prix Audio Monaco.

Resonance transfer can be completed on hardwood or tile with the addition of Sistrum APCD discs under the Audiopoint attached to the bottom of each vertical pillar of a Sistrum rack or platform. This disc is designed to be a collector on one side and a transfer distribution device that comes in direct contact with the previously mentioned hard surfaces on the other side. These devices are the best available... Lead free, no rubber, no dampening to impede or mask , only the pedal to the metal so as to hear all the real things. These devices increase the efficiency of all devices placed on them, unlike the race car rack with high mass shelves and shock absorbing grommets which collect and store. Where does this stored energy go? Back into the shelf directly under the component. There is no high speed pathway provided for the captured energy to exit!! Sistrum qualifies above and beyond all mentioned criteria. Tom
