Re: Interesting solution

I no longer own the rack. A friend of mine saw it and wanted to buy it, so I sold it to him. I now use a rack from pARTicular.

Your comments on the lead are interesting. For one thing, the joints at the legs and crossbars are not always sealed properly on the VTI, so lead can escape from the legs into the crossbars. The materials to make the legs and crossbars are also light and not thick walled metal. So perhaps using epoxy, foam insulation, or some other type of filler would be better. I do think the rack would benefit from some weight, so I would probably use epoxe if I had to do it over again. For the decoupling of the shelves from the crossbars I used Herbies black dots. They worked real well. I just used some 1/2" maple for the shelves instead of the flimsy MDF that came with the VTI racks.

I got the cones from Tate who makes Ultrasonic amp stands. The link is below. The other link takes you to my existing rack. It is the 4 shelf version but I don't have the wood trim.
