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.
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. |
I don’t think you mean ’casters’ as they are wheels and that’s a tough thing to pull off trying to attach a wheel to an amp or other components . I think you meant something like Vibrapod Cones? But I do agree that casters or wheels are perfect for attaching to the bottom of the component stand for ease of use and getting to the back of the rack/component stand when making changes and adjustments. Especially if the rack is one vertical piece of shelves. Which makes said rack very heavy indeed.

@roxy54 , I try to be civil when having discussions here. Of course I understand casters or wheels aren’t as anti vibration as spikes and metal coasters. Not everyone has the luxury of having sufficient room as you may have for an audio rack. Some folks have small listening rooms and really don’t care about anti vibration. But of course you knew that right? @emergingsoul brought up casters/wheels, not me. But you probably have spikes on wooden floors, right? |
