vibration and resonance


I need to get rid of vibration and resonance in my homemade rack that is to "lively and rings like a bell". I was told to try DYNAMAT on the underside of the shelves. Would cork be the same or better? What is your experience? Thanks

I don't think cork is the answer. There are applications in which I'm sure it will help.

If you're having the problems you describe, I'm sure a lot of that is getting back to your gear. Treating symptoms is not the best solution. You won't like the answer, but you need to get a solid foundation under your gear, or you're never going to hear it's full potential.

The rack needs to go, but don't substitute one problem for another. Get a rack that's going to do the job. Adona racks, available here are a reasonable starting point. There are many better racks, but the price goes up with quality. It's just like buying equipment. Buy the best you can afford.

I don't know what Schipo is talking about in his post, the last sentence is a mystery to me, but I doubt that you're gonna find what you really need at Ikea. I could be wrong though...

There are a lot of threads about racks and stands. Do some homework before buying anything, and if possible talk to people who have what you find interesting...

Good luck...
