Audio racks

Personally. I’d pass from timber nation. I had him build me a custom rack. I stipulated two tier. He made me a single tier. I even sent him a drawing to get it right.

I put the unit together for the heck of it. Two post ( legs ) fit properly. The other two legs were not measured nor cut properly which caused instability.

I first contacted him. I forgot his name. Sorry, that I can’t recall. He refuted all. I contacted Pay Pal. I opened a claim. Pay pal credited my account. Usually you have to provide detailed information during the claim/ investigation. That can usually last a month until a decision is made. I was refunded in less then a week!!

Yup. His rep is that bad. Sometimes his racks are dead on. Other times they are one giant hot mess. I’d definitely look elsewhere.

I heard Paul’s son from PS Audio makes well made racks. Might want to give them a call for further info.

Thanks Jay---good to know. Does Paul's son have a website? I've read some good reviews about Butcher Block. I haven't purchased anything yet---I might end up with additional units next year. Box Furniture is an option too but they're a little pricey.

@bluorion,

I would highly recommend audio rack from Core Audio Designs. In addition to what you see on his website, he can custom build anything to your exact needs. The proprietor, Arnold Marr is very methodical and meticulous in his approach. You will end up with a rack that will far exceed your visual and sonic expectations.

No further component isolation or decoupling needed with his racks. You pay a bit more upfront but they are built to last...I owned his racks for 10 plus years and they still look good as new.

Bluorion,

I’m not so sure if he has a website, though if you call the folks at PS audio inquiring about Paul’s son rack systems. They will tell you the name of his company. I misplaced the info.

Google timbernation audiocircle. You’ll see all of the negative feedback regarding Timbernation. That pertains to this site as well. I’m lucky I got my money back!!

I agree with Lalitk. Core audio designs are a great deal with what they offer. Heck if you have 10,000 of gear. Isn’t it worth it?? Built is quite solid. A great contender indeed. My custom setup would be about 2,100 with Core. With Boxfurniture. About 2,600.

Personally I really dig Core for price per dollar ratio. Though if you want to go one step above. Where the wood is jointed together. No assembly at all. Drop dead gorgeous. Well. For the fun of it. Check this site

For my own use I go used and purchase mid-century modern furniture on the cheap. Nice aesthetic appeal imo. Looks less like a man cave, unless you are fortunate enough to have a dedicated room.

LTA sometimes works with this company.

I personally have heard a minute improvement in SQ with all wooden furniture. Though aesthetically. It helps big time, while protecting your gear.

If I won the lottery. Heck. I’d be right in line. Though there is this thing called dating, and cost of living/bills. It ain’t cheap or easy in NYC.

Good luck,

Jay
