If you are interested in Mapleshade, be aware that they can custom make their Samson shelf to any size and number of shelfs you want. I have a custom size on order,so I can't offer any comments on it, but I was very impressed using one of their 2" thick maple shelfs as an amplifier stand.
Looking For High Quality Equipment Rack
I'm going to move soon and I'll take the opportunity to make some changes to my system. I want to focus first upon upgrading my equipment rack. Currently using a Target ProXL. It's a metal frame with glass shelves which I've supplemented with a few BDR shelves, 1/2" thick glass, rubber mats and vibrapods. I'm looking for a less haphazard, more rational approach to resonance dissipation and control.
I'm considering the following:
Arcici Suspense - http://www.arcici.net/
Sistrum 6 Shelf - http://www.audiopoints.com/multiplatforms.HTML
Grand Prix 5 Shelf Lemans - http://www.grandprixaudio.com/lemans.html
Mapleshade 3 Shelf Samson (2) - http://www.mapleshaderecords.com/tweaks/samson.html
Immedia E&T Spider - http://www.immediasound.com/ComponentStands.html
The rack will sit on a hard wood floor in the same room as the loudspeakers. The turntable will not be place upon the new rack. I'd prefer a single rack (5 shelf minimum), but I'd also consider two 3 shelf racks. I'm looking for anybody's experience and comments. Feel free to recommend any other brands too.
Thanks to all.
