MapleShade Samson V.2 and V.3 Equipment Racks

After 30 plus years in this crazy hobby I am finally looking at purchasing a good quality equipment rack. I've added a new turntable recently and am looking at some additional pieces and now I have started to run out of room to stack components.

Has anyone used the MapleShade Samson V2 or V3 racks? From online pictures they appear to be very nice. Like most everything else though they are a bit pricey... However, most likely they would be the last rack I ever buy. Leaning toward s the V3 so that I can add a second TT on top down the road. I would probably get the support rods custom cut to about 40" to facilitate the proper final height. Anyone have these or used them? Nice? Worth the big change?

I am using a Mapleshade Samson V3. I am delighted with the performance and appearance of this A/V furniture. It is beautiful enough to satisfy my wife and it provides a stunning upgrade to the sound of my system.

I use a Wadia 860x SE with 2 Electrocompaniet 220 Watt Monoblocks driving Gallo Reference 3.5 speakers - a very revealing system. The upgrade was not subtle. The price performance considering the competition seemed to be unbeatable to me.

My rack tops out at about 40" and provides 8 spaces for components on the Cherry finished 2" shelves. It is a center piece in our living room.

Hope this helps. Daniel
