Thaddeus Smith Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 i've only got a few small components, so it would look stupid to have a chest high rack in my space. instead, I'm planning to build a "flexy plinth" in the spirit of these: http://bit.ly/1BjTJC7 ..with threaded rods through each corner a la flexy rack. the finish will probably just be a super fine sand job and tung oil. it'll be 4ft wide, 18" deep, and 12" high 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerwoodKhorns Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I have a VTI, it is pretty heavy duty, don't see it on their website anymore. Glass and metal and I made 1.5" Mahogony tops for the TTs. If you want to spend $100, Craigslist is your only real option and then plan on spending more. Oh yea, I like a flat stomach and tight butt, which always comes with a small rack. YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbomberger Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I tried to order this at maple shades: Jacqueline Bisset. Remember "The Deep"? You old farts... These days it's Katy Perry Anyway, is it possible to get a decent glass rack for less than $100? Or should I just be looking on craigslist? Yes, but think of Jacqueline Bisset as a 1977 "Heritage" rack. Then we can all appreciate the build and craftsmanship involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent T Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Real racks come in Black, Battleship Gray, or Broadcast Electronics Blue. And don't come from Mapleshade. They say RCA, Gates Radio, Collins, BE, Schaefer, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardsweb Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 What makes it a good rack? Brand? Price? Number of bays? Isolation? Pictures? Like most things in audio there are many levels. From racks/shelves found at places like Walmart and Target to nicer ones found online from sites like Wayfair.com and standsandmounts.com, you have a lot of options. Then you have dedicated high end manufacturers like Solid Tech, Sistrum, PARTicular and more at what I'll call serious money. With builds using wood, steel, glass and combinations, it is part personal preference and budget. You get to decide what works best for you.

Ah, "Heritage Rack", that's a good one....Another would be Jamie Lee Curtis in "Trading Places"....doesn't get much better than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joessportster Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Nice looking rack Earl, as a side you could do what i did and hit a local granite shop and see if they have any cut outs and have them drill holes in the 4 corners then hit lowes or depot and buy 3/4" all thread and nuts and washers It makes for one hell of a heavy sturdy rack, I sold mine long ago but they were very adjustable and dead as far as vibrations go.........................another bonus is you get to taylor the shelf color to your decor / taste, There are other ways to implement this shelf build that make it easier and prettier if you decide to DIY let me know and I will shoot you further info on how to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjimbo Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Is granite as "dead" as a maple platform? My brother is a very skilled cabinet maker, and I'm thinking of asking him to make a maple platform for my turntable, however, I also have a very local source for granite, so am wondering what the comparison would be?

USNRET Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 IIRC, I paid $300 for the 3" thick maple top shelf and $50 each for the granite shelves. Maple shelf is 24" x 48" and granites are 22 1/2" x 19" for my VTI BL404 http://www.vtimanufacturing.com/vti_product/bl404-audio-rack/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Are you looking for SHELVES or an actual RACK with 1 7/8" 10/32 threaded holes for 19" pro gear? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eth2 Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 I am looking for something to hold my VRD's/preamp/CD player/line conditioner. I don't know if I want a rack or floor plates (granite or walnut). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
