Audio / Stereo Rack

I don't think that wood is the best way to go sonically from all that I've read, but if that is what a person wants to do, there aren't too many of us that know a competent woodworker. I would recommend Timbernation as others have. He does a good job and is reasonable.

Mapleshade can provide you exactly what you need, and I’ve never waited longer than 2-3 weeks even with customization. You can view my racks by looking at my system pictures on my profile here. Eldon, the owner, was excellent to deal with and I’m very happy. I guess that’s clear because I purchased from them on three separate occasions, finally replacing all my previous racks and tables. I felt they were a step up from Timbernation at comparable price point. 

I have reached out to Paul at Adona and am waiting for a price.  The carrying capacity of their systems is impressive.  Although I prefer the look of wood the shelves are made of granite and MDF for a product that appears to be sonically superior.  We will see what he comes back with to see if it is affordable.

For 3 decades I used a Solid Steel Vertical rack, but over time I replaced the supplied shelves with various exotic shelving. About a year ago I decide to explore horizontal rack. I found a guy on Nextdoor selling a DIY solid maple table 2' x 6' x 2" . I only used the top and picked up a pair of matching iron frame book ends, which I put on Harbor Freight dollys: AWESOME.

Pretty happy with my butcher block acoustics rack. They can be expensive for a custom setup. They do blocks for mono amps too. I sent them an email and they called to walk though my build. You can see my rack in my virtual system.
