Best rack for non-suspension turntable?

Hands down, Audiav turntable rack with Signature Platforms.

They even design it for free and are 1/3 of the price of Naim's.

The Fraim really is limited on size and is hard to work with other gear... plus they don't really do much for vibration, and do not control magnetics, ESP or interference.

The Naim Fraim looks great with Naim components though... but it better at $6k

In the $ 6,000.00 range I would pair a Minus K work station with a Silent Running Audio custom platform sitting on top and under the TT. The combination of the two yields phenomenal sound that a rack can not attain.

Cello - would you please say more about your SRA platform. I'm v. interested in their Craz rack. Thanks.

Minus K work station good... falling into the Silent Running Audio's marketing- bad :)

Don't believe too much of the hype. The SRA is a solid-to-solid and only helps with anti-resonance through mass loading... that's it. No magic there... all of their layers are solids, so there is not high-low-high decoupling and relies on thickness for resonance control.

Getting a Minus K that is off the ground with a SRA will run more in the $8k to $9k... it's $6k to $7k individually. For this amount you can get Solid Granite Signature Shelves from Audiav in a Crystal or Diamond frame that has built in loading adjustment setups and offers about twenty advantages... but what do I know :)

I'm biased

Just an idea. I am currently using Solid Tech racks. They have two lines, Radius and Rack of Silence. With Radius, you can add springs under each and every shelf. With the Rack of Silence, you can also isolate even more with springs except the top and bottom shelf. See the following page for more information:

I have the reference level Rack of Silence in my main system. It works well with everything in my system except the turntable. I have the Michell Orbe SE, a suspension table. So I placed a butcher block atop the top shelve and set the table on it. Seem to work well.

I have a totally tweaked-out Radius in my study room holding my headphone-based system. It has springs under each shelf and isolation feet under the rack.

Prior to the recent change, I was using Solidsteel racks.
