I have a Twin 40 and purposefully ordered it without any doors, sides, or back panels, which I knew would just resonate. Next I am replacing all the corner shelf supports with the heavy-duty bracket-type supports to strengthen the overall structure by adding crossmembers. I got this rack for its appearance, adjustability, capacity, accessability, and mobility (including the Saturn wheels), not for its rigidity or inertness, which are always going to be just so-so.
Salamander Cabinet Resonance Problem. Help
Hey guys, I just got a Salamander Twin 30 audio cabinet. It looks great and has a very high wife acceptance factor. The only problem is that the black steel mesh sides and front panels resonate even when I am just talking. I can't hear the reverbation when the stereo is playing but I'm sure that it is smearing the sound. Everything is tightened but the side panels just slide into the rails. You just can't get them tight. I don't want to remove the mesh side panels because of the WAF and they cost a pretty penny. I got the mesh panels because I wanted the ventalation for my tube gear. I don't use the supplied solid black back panels. What can be done that won't affect the looks, but deaden the vibration? Thanks, Jim
