When I removed the 3" cherry blocks from under my equipment and placed directly on the high performance acrylic shelves of the pARTicular Novus rack I experienced more detail, crisper, better sound stage and improved bass response. I have no affiliation with pARTicular other than a satisfied customer.
Audio Rack Selection
Putting together a new system and an upgraded audio rack will be part of the package. Would love to know your thoughts on the issue? Is there a true need to buy upper tier racks?
The rack will need to hold a McIntosh C2600 preamp, 2 monoblocks, power conditioner and a turntable. Flooring in the room is hardwood.
Would love your thoughts and recommendations.

Constrained layer damping is what I use. The difference is not dramatic, in fact subtle, but it can be heard. What I use with my locally built audio rack is Les Davis Audio pads. https://www.lesdavisaudio.com.au/3d-2 The product looks different from when I got mine (circular, not square) but they appear to be constructed the same. All the best, Nonoise |
Posted today, my system, with lots of pictures and a description of my rack. Its hard to tell the top granite is sitting on sand, but the sand bed in the bottom rack can be seen in some views. Lotta work but really affordable and outstanding performance. Please note any or all parts of this rack could very easily be covered in wood veneer, or painted however you like, and probably still be under $500. |
