Racks - what’s awesome without impacting my kids college plans?


My search showed the last significant rack discussion to be years ago.   I’m thinking 5 shelf, TT on top, upright style, without costing more then I spent on an amp...  I’m good with adding sand, even fabricating a granite shelf or two. Any suggestions?

Hi Dishman,

I ordered my new racks today. 4 solid hardwood coffee tables and will sit 2 on 2. Beautiful wood, solid as a truck, and plenty of room. No being technically fancy, I'll put felt pads under the legs so nothing gets scratched, Best of all, $125 each.

Check out Custom Wood racks on this site.I have two of them.
They are made to order and really work because they are all maple and walnut with no metal. They transformed my system like nothing else I have had. Mike at Custom Racks really understands acoustics.

I was just asking the question,

Depending on the cost of your amp something between the cost of what @amg56 suggests and a Craz stand from Silent Running

As much as I like Sound Anchors for my turntable stand, I would not recommend them for electronics.  I had intended to use the two shelves below my turntable for my preamps, but unfortunately anything placed on the steel supports acquires an edginess in the highs that I can't accept.  This was true whether the component was resting directly on the steel bars or on a wood platform or rubber feet or some other isolator.  It's too bad because the shelves below my table are now just empty space.

For electronics I am very happy with my 4-shelf Box Furniture stand.
