Racks vs. furniture w/pods, points, aurios, etc?


Finding a rack I love is not hard to do if I want to spend $6,000. I just saw a double wide rix rax with inlaid wood and it is exactly what I want, but 6K is just a bit much for me.

My question is this - Am I wasting my time and money if I buy or make a beautiful piece of furniture and utilize every expensive pod, spike, roller block, platform, etc. to isolate my equipment? My system consists of Well tempered turntable, CAT Ultimate, Gamut amp, Offrande speakers and an AudioMeca cd.

Thanks for your help.

Check out BJ Tanner's work. He does completely custom racks, I have one in birds' eye maple (solid hardwood, veneered MDF shelves) that is stunning, and was 1/2 the price or less of a comprably sized Zoethecus, and better made/better looking to boot. (I have a Zoethecus amp stand for comparison). www.bjtanner.com I think. He's in NH. The rack I got from him is sized to accept standard-sized Symposium shelves, if so desired. (19x21"). Spiked, sand-filled legs, etc. A nice piece. His work is far better than his website, btw.

Fwiw,
