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.

closer view of the racks with Roon Nucleus server for streaming (left) and Denon receiver for dealing with TV sound (right) still need to add threaded footers to each rack to provide additional vibration reduction and deal with levelling due to uneven floors
