What makes a good Hi Fi rack improve your system.


Having currently got my amp set up on a glass shelf along with my turntable, I am after a good Hi Fi rack. One I want to centralise everything and have the Blu Ray, Amp , sky and turntable all together. There are so many options out there. Some have glass shelves some are Wooden. Also isolation is key. My question is the key factors they will help improve your systems sound. I'm based in the UK, so all factors to look at would be great. Even some brands. I'm hoping you can help.
Thanks in return.

When I lived in the UK (some 20 years or so now) I was a big fan of the Audiophile Base system. It looks good, is versatile and expandable and is well designed from an isolation standpoint. As I recall it was also good value

Somewhat higher end and no doubt prohibitively expensive as an import in the UK I now use Grand Prix Audio racks
So if you have StillPoints under all of your components you can further improve the sound with a better rack?
Ricred1 - absolutely. Rack design, choice of shelf material and footers all matter. Design of the rack and the material of the shelf will all affect the vibration transmitted to the feet thus definitely has an impact. As a rule solving the problem down the chain (rack-> shelf -> footer) is best but a good footer will always help as it affects the transmission of vibration both to and from the component as well (i.e. Changing the component to shelf connection)

For the GPA racks I use the stock shelf is acrylic, upgrade is carbon fiber and I have one custom shelf under my pre amp in a special composite made by Marigo labs. Them the footers you use make a huge difference, I use Marigo labs F8 extreme mystery feet which really eliminate micro vibrations and work well under everything I have tried them on. Others like Stillpoints but I’ve never tried them

As an example of how tiny things matter in the latest mystery feet update three dots of sticky tape were added to the top of the footer and they materially changed the sound of the footers, like I said all of these things matter. Good news is the effects are all additive and you can stop once you feel you are not getting good results for your spend
If you employ good isolation devices (roller bearing, air bearing, springs), the nature of the underlying surface is of far less significance.
