HiFi Furniture

This seems to be one area people like me ( if they exist) don’t seems to want to spend much money.

Most importantly the traditional furniture manufacturer s have stopped building anything that looks like a decent 3/4  shed wooden stand.

All we find nowadays is a long tv cabinet to accommodate the tv and the soundbar.
Anything else is usually having glass shelves.

I refuse to pay the exorbitant amounts to the audiophile furniture manufacturers just for the anti vibration characteristics.
I just need something to hold the power amp, pre amp and the phonostage.
Something that looks decent aesthetically a d does the job while not been an arm and a leg in price.

I bit the bullet and bought this, got a fairly good discount since purchase was made just before EOY.

Enjoyed the comedic banter about what folks used in college and thought I'd add this for fun. For the longest time, I used cinder blocks & boards (e.g. 1.5" X 12" X 36" joined solid wood like long butcher blocks) with foam padding between them. A bit tedious to level for the turntable but served me well throughout college and until I could afford something more attractive. Very easy to break down & move when living the bohemian lifestyle. Today, I use a basic (no doors, back or sides) Salamander Synergy system. Sanus makes some interesting inexpensive stuff you might want to check out. Pangea also makes some pretty nice inexpensive racks, as well. If you eventually decide to splurge on something like a Salamander, their annual sale shaves off something like 15 or 20 percent.
