Opinions on Glass Shelves


I am thinking about buying a new audio rack. When I tap on the shelf below the shelf on which my turntable sits while the needle is on an LP at rest, I can hear the a slight echo in my speakers.

I’ve looked into various audio racks including some from Billy Bags. The salesperson at Billy Bags told me that their ¾” cracked glass was sound-deadening and would provide excellent sound isolation. To me this is counterintuitive.

Has anyone had any experience with cracked glass from Billy Bags?

Has anyone had any experience with glass shelves in general?

I have a Sound Organization rack with glass shelves. I replaced the top shelf with a custom made Neuance shelf for my TT. The other shelves have 12"x12" sheets of asphalt damping material applied to their bottoms. Not a high end rack by any means, but it works reasonably well.
