Mapleshade Samson racks?

They are alive and well with no plans to fold or any reason to according to the representative I spoke with two days ago.

I haven't bought the Samson yet, but I can say that the maple(2 inch) plus footers made a huge difference to my Ariston rd110. I also only listen to analog.

I have 2 Sampson racks with 4 inch top shelves. On one top shelf sits my Michel GyroDec on 3 brass cones where the suspension springs used to be. I can strike the top shelf with my fist and there is no sound with the stylus resting on a stationary LP. The rack spikes dig directly into the hardwood floor.

I used Mapleshade cones and Isoblocks before this on an old teak stero rack. The Samsons improved things to the degree that the prior tweaks now seem like half measures.

A wonderful rack. I have a Basis Debut V Vacuum on mine.

Check out the the pictures on Audio Asylum under Mercman.

Splaskin,

What's between your Debut & the top of the rack?? Love your Asylum moniker BTW.

Thanks,

Scott
