I have a turntable atop a 5 ft tall rack that sits on a carpeted suspended wood floor. I do not have problems with footfall or feedback. In order to make the tall rack stable and more rigid, I put a cleat on the wall and then used angle brackets to secure the top portion of the rack to the wall. There is no shaking with this setup. The rack is no longer made; it is a custom sized Zoethecus rack.
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?

http://www.adonacorporation.com/av45m4.html These paper to be very well made / thought out. You could also make your own - when we do Hi-Fi shows I usually bring something like this - easily adjustable, can be "flat-packed" and very sturdy once assembled. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BosMJKWIJcM The Racks in both rooms in this video are made by me - MDF Shelves, Hardwood top plate for the TT on top and 3/4" all thread legs threaded at the bottom for Spikes.

I think the large Mapeshade with 4" shelves is excellent. The 45" wide three shelf was around $2K. http://www.mapleshadestore.com/samsonracks.php I have this for my turntable and all other gear. |
Hi Dishman442, I was also looking for a for an audio rack that would not break the bank. I ended up taking several different parts from various companies to come up with a solution. Stand Design, Audiophile Vibration Control, Via Blue, Finite Elemente and 3M I got the shelves from AVC and liked them very much. They were reasonably priced - something to consider. https://audiophilevibrationcontrol.com Best of Luck |
