caz1604 Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Check out Techcraft Furniture, that is where I got my rack. www.techcraft-furniture.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzoz01 Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I really like sanus. I have a glass sanus tv stand that i really like and was very reasonable (I paid around $400). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbflash Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Try the flexy rack. I have built two. I used 4 legs instead of 3. I also built one using 5/16" threaded rod which was cheaper than the 3/4" http://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/flexye.html Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Not sure what you mean by "not fancy," but the TechCraft referenced above has a series called "Wing" which Officemax sometimes has on sale for $50. Others have found some decent buys at Circuit City and Best Buy (I think Sanus has some stuff a BB). Also, moving up the ladder a bit, www.audioadvisor.com sometimes has a clearance on some audio racks that are nice. I have a "Wing" for my bedroom TV and receiver and it's fine for that. I built a Flexy rack (mentioned above) for my HT room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, didn't somebody score some nice racks at the local Wally*World? Also, Bello has some nice stuff, but be prepared to spend a bit.

Mighty Favog Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Take a look at http://www.studiotech.com/jsp/productSelection.jsp?type=ultra . I've got the U48 in Rosewood and it looks and works awsome. Slightly Art-Deco. I just wish I'd gotten the U60, I later found out I needed the extra room. We also bought the (old narrow model) U22 for thr TV which looks and works well too but not when it's time to get 16:9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundog Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 I have most of my equiptment in a seperate room in the basement on steel utility racks on concrete floors. I use remote extenders to control them. The concrete basement floors do not transmit vibrations and as the equiptment is in a seperate room not much in the way of sound wave vibration reaches the equiptment either. I have used some acoustical isolation under key components but detected no change. I just don't think any significant vibrations reach the equiptment.

3dzapper Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 For those on the go with no dough, check these out at Wally World. Nice heavy metal, glass and wood and only $79.93.Somebody turned us on to them on the forum last summer. I have two of them in my room. WAF is good! http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=2233780&cat=112666&type=1&dept=4044&path=0%3A4044%3A103150%3A91790%3A110736%3A112666&xsell=2233782 There is a matching TV stand also.

3dzapper Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Here is mine. Notice that I can use a turn table on the top shelf about four feet away from the Klipschorn. I would call that stable! I am going to put spikes on it soon though just for jollies. Yes that is a Heresy in the bottom opening with the shelf removed. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIUHuskies Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Nice "racks" guys. I'm not sure how they compare to Janet Jacksons, but I like them regardless! Hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Why not try out this site: http://www.racksandstands.com/ Some of the offerings from Bell'o are particullarly nice and some are not too pricey. -Picky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Had occasion to stop by the local "wall" mart, as Paris would term it. Those racks and the matching TV stand are first rate. They are equal to some selling for 3-4 times as much! Great find guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
