@woots, I think we are talking about the same thing as the Sound Anchors products do the exact same thing and 'send' the vibrations of your rig all the way down to the tips of the metal spikes screwed in the bottom of the component stand to the conecoasters and then to the floor. Everything has a vibration, especially electrical mechanical components turned on.
Audio stand needed....Moving main components from mechanical room to listening room
Looking to move my main components out of my mechanical room into my listening room and need some furniture recommendations. Would be placed on a wall perpendicular to my speakers by a window. Hoping for something with 3 shelves and about 60" long that can accommodate my audio research pre amp that is about 20-21" deep with cables out the back. Ideally TT would go on top with 6 components on the lower two shelves, so I need a stand that handles 3 units across each shelf. I have viewed so many great stands out there that would work but can't locate them now that I need to find one. Prefer black and understand that I may need to use some anti vibration platters. I am currently using one on my turntable. I plan to place my amplifier under my center channel with a separate stand.
Thanks in advance.
Can't get the url from my system to copy over but it is under Woots system if you have time to view.

Take your dimensions to a talented carpenter to get exactly what you require and use high quality footers to aid in further isolating your components. As for your turntable, this might be of interest to you, I came across this a few days ago and can't personally vouch for it but maybe it can negate the bother of figuring out which rack would be the best in isolating your turntable. All the best,

Buying a rack and then adding vibration control can be tedious and expensive. It does however gives you ultimate flexibility with trying different vibration control devices (a tweaker’s delight). But if you’re the guy that don’t want to mess around with vibration controls then couple of ultra elegant solutions comes to mind in addition to Core Audio Designs, Modulum Audio - https://modulumaudio.com/products/ Artesania Audio - https://artesaniaaudio.com Bassocontinuo - https://bassocontinuo.biz/lines/ultimate-line/ And lastly, SRA isolation platform customized for your components. |
Salamander makes great stands that are very reasonably priced and you can get them with casters. Have to get casters on stands. Always been amazed how crazy people are to not use casters for amplifier stands. Amplifiers don't get impacted by how a stand rests on the floor as long as it's designed with some mass. The other gear you have also should have casters but especially amplifiers. |
"There you go again!" as the late Ronald Reagan used to say. As usual, you say the opposite of what is true, and then call people who do the right thing crazy. Using casters on an equipment rack is absolutely the worst thing that you could do. They move, they are unstable and they don't aid in draining vibrational energy. |
