@lak, well said!
Audio Rack Opinions
After a fair amount of research, I have landed on 3 candidates for upgrading my audio rack:
- Symposium Acoustics Foundation Ultra
- Core Audio Plykraft 4L
- Butcher Block Audio Rigid Rack with 4 shelves
This will be used with the following system:
Palmer 2.5i Turntable
- LFD NCSE Mk3 amplifier
- Sutherland Little Loco phono stage
- Oppo UDP 203 CD player
- Palmer turntable power supply
- This sits on hardwood floors to the left of my Harbeth speakers which are Tontrager stands
I am not in the market for a $10k plus rack, but would love to hear opinions on the above racks or any other suggestions
Thanks in advance

I purchased a rack from Timbernation. Although I had some issues with the finish being different than expected, I do love this rack! Just be explicit with what you want. The quality was very nice, but not perfect. I paid $3600 for my rack due to the size and the curly maple wood. He has many options that are more affordable. |
+2 @lak ! I really enjoy having a rigid, gorgeously engineered & built rack, even if it's over the top. I also have nice platforms for my amps. 3rd party footers was a rabbit hole I quickly punched out of. Like you say, too stressful. What I have now is enough. |

For that system with those options, doesn't really matter. One thing you didn't mention is whether your "hardwood floor" is hardwood over concrete, or a suspended flooring system; ground floor or above? This may have more impact on your decision than the cosmetics or recommendations from the inmates here. |
