custom built rack's.

I would have my wife or girlfriend get estimates from several plastic surgeons before you go out and just "buy a rack".

Bigjoe, you didn't mention a budget. I hate it when people say this or that is the absolute "BEST" of anything as subjective as that is. That said, I have tried enough isolation products and racks to make most people puke and FOR MY MONEY and tastes, (and based on my needs and preferences) NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING has held a candle to Silent Running Audio products. Don't let their deceptively simple yet elegant exterior fool you - there is a ton of scientific design and science behind them and the amount of labor that goes into them is staggering. Kevin does the resonance control for billion dollar nuclear submarines so he knows a thing or two about resonance control.

His Craz Racks can be made to order and will hold a small country (in weight). My rack, with NOTHING on it weighs in at almost 600 lbs. What I like most is that you do not have to pay a sonic price for the immense improvement in sound. There is no downside like there was with so many others I have tried.

If you want to know more about the Craz Rack and the science behind it, e-mail me off line or call Kevin at SRA - they don't come any nicer or more knowledgable.

A-Gon member Hooper is also an SRA proponent and may chime in here.

I hope this helps - good luck in your search.

If you're headed that direction (SRA) and that kind of $$$ you really should talk to Joe at Critical Mass Systems. He has isolation platforms that simply slide into a rack. You can kind of pay as you go as you add "shelves" if they could be called that. One of the nicest things (besides great sound) is that they do NOT have to be tuned to the specific component, weight, or load balance up to reasonable limits (130#). I have several on order for my Joule gear after listening to the Rites of Passage at his house as well as the words of Jud Barber and Bobby at Merlin.

thank's guy's, lot's of great place's to look,i have a bunch of research to do before i decide on what rack i'll be going with .

im not really too hip on building my own rack even though i have all the tool's & some fantastic wood that's perfect for a rack but after i add up all the time it would take me to build my own plus the value of the wood im pretty sure buying a rack will be cheaper.

fmpd, i didnt mention a budget because i know so little about how much a rack to fit my need's will actually cost that i thought it premature to decide on a budget, i did email you though for more info.
