a local Speaker Dad was kind enough to drive these racks to me all the way from Markham (!!) which is a ~ 5hr drive.

the main purpose of an audio rack is to isolate your components from vibrations. when speakers make sound, they produce a lot of vibrations which travel through the cabinets to hardwood floors. this is a big concern if you run tube equipment and turntables which are quite sensitive, less so if you run solid state and digital.

a high-end rack made of aluminum and other performant materials can easily cost $10k+ each so these modest wooden racks are a nice solution in the meantime.

right now they are quite bare because our system is so minimal with active speakers, but we’ll be adding some analog components in Feb/March which will fill out the top shelves quite nicely.

we’ll also do a cable management deep dive sometime in March to deal with all the wires. basically need to build a J-channel along the floorboards to hide everything. stay tuned.
