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.

@audiotroy Sorry guys, expensive racks are for suckers or folks with more money than sense who want added bling factor to impress their buddies. Can they improve performance, particularly in poorly constructed rooms with full range systems that generate lots of energy? Sure, maybe a little but at what cost and where could those dollars be spent more effectively?

With the advent of all the good isolation footers currently going around, all one really needs is a decent looking and well made stand tailored to the taste of the buyer.

All the best,

The Pangea racks are garbage.

Mine haven’t rotted and holds about 200 pounds of amplifiers and VPI bricks.

OK, so I'm not counting my labour but the point being, you don't need to spend a wack of money.  IMHO
