Please tell me the wait will be work it......my rack
The supply chain issues have certainly sucked. I am waiting for the LAST piece of my set up.....my rack. I’ve been waiting over a year for all my components to come in and the rack has been the longest wait. Please tell me it’s worth the time and $$$ or offer other options for consideration that may be more available. My brother offered Critical Mass but I am trying to save a few bucks, and not clear if they have the same supply issues. Appreciate your thoughts in advance.

I agree wholeheartedly, some of these prices are just highway robbery, but it’s the hitheadssay morons who actually pay that much thinking a rack will once again make unicorns crap rainbows and vomit skittles. was 45$ on sale at bed, bath & beyond 20+ years ago other audio on the 4 ft wide tv stand.
some people are too dumb and spend that much |
All I can say is I use a Core Audio PkyKraft 3L rack for the components and a special isolation shelf for the TT. This kit is amazingly well built, looks stunning and gives complete isolation from feedback. Here is what the system looked like before I purchased the TT shelf:

Yes. These rack prices are complete nonsense. Be thankful there is a delivery hold up and try to use this to cancel your order and get your $$$$$$ back. I put all my gear longitudinally on very heavy marble and stone. In all must weigh a ton. Yes. This is far more solid than wooden shelves, however many butchers handed in their blocks for big buxx. Need to get this into perspective. Big $$$$$ on racks is even sillier than big $$$$$ on cables. +++ @arcticdeth @bigtwin @erik_squires shouldn't burn money on ButcherBlox |
Over the course of my career I’ve designed many isolation stands for equipment that is generally heavier and much more sensitive than audio gear and I have to say that other than aesthetics there’s really no need for rocket science when deciding what to place your audio components on. I personally chose to use a 300 lb mahogany cabinet for my stuff. |
