Lovan audio racks....and other racks.....

After 3.5 years of upgrading I think I'm done. So its time to get a nice rack. The Timbernation racks suit my tastes and the possibilities are endless. I talked to Chris the builder and he is building one from scratch with custom paint and stain that will ship out by mid week. The cost is extremely reasonable and he uses real wood. No doubt in my mind this will be the best choice.

I bought a Salamander Synergy 40 audio rack with the metal perforated side panels and pull out shelf for my laptop. I am very satisfied. Total cost was under 800.00

Again...thanks for your responses; I think I am leaning toward either Timbernation or Steve Blinn.
Does anyone have any thoughts on which would be better?

To compare the two brands IMO both will be very sturdy and last a lifetime. As far as isolation both have solid wood shelves. The Timbernation has a wooden framework vs S. Blinn's aluminum, no advantage to either??? or at least very comparable. The T nations can be painted or stained, framework and all, where as the S. Blinn's shelves can be any paint or stain, but the framework is either natural aluminum or adonized black. Looks wise both are appealing depending on tastes. My wife and sister like the T.nation looks because it meshes well with the other furniture, me too. Costs the T. nation racks are cheaper for a similar design. When all is considered the Timbernation better meet my needs and tastes.

my memory could be failing me but weren't there several fraud cases with Timbernation in the not too distant past? People were trying to contact him & failed; people had paid money for racks & not received them, etc? There was a time back when Timbernation was the rage on Audiogon & then he suddenly disappeared. Now, Timbernation has tuned a new leaf & is back again? I do not intend to malign Timbernation's name - merely checking whether the fraud cases did happen or not in the past. Some other long-time Audigoners must remember this????
Thanks.
