In Reply to: Budget Rack.... posted by Taurui on August 11, 2005 at 07:34:57:
Depending on how handy you are the best racks in the world IMO are one of the cheapest. Just make the shelves out of concrete and the spacers between shelves out of concrete. Knock up a timber mould, put in wet concrete and smooth off the top with a straight edge. When dry remove from mould and the bottom becomes the top (nice smooth surface.Paint, clad in timber or whatever you like to make them look good. Cast solid blocks to space the shelves the same way. Spikes on the bottom, rubber between spacers and shelves etc.
Off course all this is really only going to be worth it if you use a TT. In which case its priceless.
Follow Ups:
I use metal racks I get at target or lowes/home depot here in the
USA, they are about $50, have a wood top and 3 metal grill shelfs -
they are originally sold as "microwave carts" and they can hold quite a bit of weight - an st-70, audiolab pre-amp, ar-xa turntable,
and heavy nak cd player.
I'm a cheapie, and they look good and seem to ground the equipment well, I do isolate the TT quite a bit more, but overall I'm quite happy with these racks. Ikea has some cheap ones too.
Here is another idea I'm thinking about doing some weekend:
