and I made and enjoy the DIY IKEA rack. If one is seriously considering Grand Prix, then IKEA is not in the universe of possibilities. I think what he is asking is how good is the IKEA; how good a value is it? It's a great value that represents trickle down design principles by the likes of Ken Lyon. I've read posts where folks who have $700-1000 racks replaced them with one. For me, the next progression would be some type of relatively affordable support system on which I can place Neuance shelves. I think such a system would get one well past the point of diminishing return.

I have a 5 tier metal Target(UK) rack (model BB5) with all 4 vertical columns sand filled. The horizontal "beams" of each tier are not sand-fillable however.Currently, my machines rest on particle-boards which rest on 5mm sorbothane pieces and then onto the beams of the rack. I was just wondering if Neuance could better the performance.
You could start with just one Neuance shelf for either your CD player or turntable. The price is not terribly prohibitive (under $200) and if you don't like it, you should have no problem selling it on A'gon. In my experience, the Neuance is a major step up from particle board or MDF shelves.
they aren't too expensive and they do come up used on Agon occasionally. One was just listed for $120. I agree with starting with the source component is a good idea; I've seen many posts that confirm this thinking.
