Rack of Silence, how good is it for a Turntable ?

I am looking to upgrade from my solidsteel rack. One of the main requirement is to support my Verdier TT. The Rack of Silence falls right in my budget but I have very little idea how it sounds. I am typically looking for something that is lively, dynamic and open sounding. I see a number of system on Audiogon using ROS but very little user comments.

If anyone has an opinion on this rack, please share.

A rack shouldn't sound like anything.

Tpreaves,

Not true. The reality is that everything has a resonance frequency, and that, unfortunately, has an impact on the sound. And there are all kinds of resonance "noises", some from equipment itself, some airborne, and some coming up from the floor, etc. Some school of thought was to mass load the rack or plinth. But that only alters the resonance frequency, not eliminate them.
