Please tell me the wait will be work it......my rack

I can vouch for my Artesania Esoteric rack.

And it looks fantastic. Really completes my system, and every component is isolated from the frame. They don't use shelves, instead wee shock absorbing pucks made from non conductive material support the components. There's no point grounding my rack, as it doesn't conduct anything from the frame into the components. 

Interesting that folk speaking against well-designed and built racks are so passionate about something they know nothing about. Very curious...what drives such people? Determination to never learn anything?

I have never heard of someone with a decent rack then casting it aside as a failed experiment. They don't seem to come up second hand.

One caveat to my post—racks that are carrying a turntable are a different matter. Best is a wall mount shelf unless you are on the basement level in which case a higher quality rack offering superior isolation for the turntable is worthwhile. On a suspended floor a better quality rack for the turntable can help but the best option is usually a wall mount shelf.

@dodgealum that is what we are doing, racking the amps and wall-mounting the TT. 

I can't believe guys seriously recommend VTI racks, especially in a thread where OP has a CMS on order! The VTI racks are adequate for displaying a toy collection. Not for housing a high-end system. Definitely very bad for supporting a turntable. I've seen very nice tables struggle with feedback issues on a VTI and on my Lovan (which is very similar to VTI, but more rugged). Filling the legs with sand or shot actually makes everything worse, because the main problem with these racks is they lack rigidity (because they're cheap as hell). When I upgraded from the Lovan to a CMS Maxxum, all the feedback issues went away. ALL of them. It was orders of magnitude in difference.

I'm now putting together a 2nd system and have to use a nice turntable on the Lovan again (for the time being), and I hate it. I have an extra CMS platform I'm using which actually helps a lot, but the rack underneath really needs to be more rigid. 

OP, your CMS Maxxum is one of the finest components money can buy - treat it as a major component, not an accessory. If your system is high-dollar, proudly run you gear on it! It's a statement piece that will make you smile every time you see and hear it. I know CM has had some production issues since they moved the factory last year. But it's worth the wait. I've had mine over 5 years now. 

I recently used a home depot butcher block top and Kreg workbench legs to hold my two chassis preamp.  $225.  Sounded great.  I am a woodworker hobbyist but too many projects for house in front of that.  Eventually changed the layout cause I couldn't easily get to the monoblock amp terminals under the stand due to front crossbrace.  I am currently using the cheaper solid steel, target, early 2000's turntable stands, sound organization and sound anchor.  All sound good, just using what i have.  And I used the boards and cinder blocks recently.......
