VERY IMPORTANT: IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE THE U.S. AND MIGHT BE CONCERNED ABOUT EXORBITANT

SHIPPING COSTS, PLEASE CONTACT US. WE HAVE A FANTASTIC ARRANGEMENT WITH

ONE OF THE WORLD'S PREMIER CARRIERS WHEREBY WE RECEIVE EXTRAORDINARY

DISCOUNTS THAT WE PASS ON TO OUR CUSTOMERS.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING:
Be aware that equipment racks
with frames made entirely of wood will expand and contract
with changes in the weather. Temperature and humidity fluctuations
cause the wood to swell and contract resulting  in loosened  joints
which causes degradation of the rack's stability and dramatically
increases vibration. Equipment
racks with aluminum sub structures mechanically "lock" at the
connection points and will never loosen and cause the effects noted
above.
Every one of our maple shelves is built using our special
block construction technique. The resulting shelves are 4 to 5 times
stronger and are that considerably more vibration resistant than shelves
made from a SINGLE piece of wood and ours will NEVER warp as you can be
certain that those made from a single piece will. We will build a rack
for you with any dimensions and any number of shelves you require.
Please check with us for exact pricing. Anything you cann dream up, we
can build.
.
Our tried and true, gimmick free Equipment Racks and
Amp Stands have been generating an enormous amount of buzz throughout
the audiophile community for years without ever making a sound of their
own. Our closely guarded, secret family recipe?...thoroughly thought
out, researched and tested designs and the fact that you will NEVER find
any resonance producing crystalline materials like glass, granite, or
stone used in any of our products.
.
It's easy for a manufacturer
(us included) to shout the virtues of its creations, while telling you
how much better "ours" is than "theirs". But, if what you're looking for
is that warm and fuzzy feeling before you plunk down your hard earned
cash, check our competition's feedback (some good, some far less than
stellar) and then take a look at ours. We believe that the (1776)
glowing feedback testimonials from the folks who have purchased our
products will make their true feelings quite apparent. We would also
encourage you to take notice of just how much more of that positive
feedback we've been receiving than our competition.
.
Please feel free to call or email us  7 days a week. Seriously, 7 days, holidays included.
.
Our
mission is to produce the very best Reference Quality Equipment Racks
and Amp Stands possible. The goal has never been to meet the
expectations of the audiophile community, it has always been to far
exceed them. We don't offer a dizzying number of "quality levels" and
grades of equipment racks and amp stands, as some of our competition
does. Our research has always led us to just one single, best
construction technique and to a small select combination of materials
with which to accomplish our goal. That's the only way we'd ever
consider building them.
.
We tested and evaluated many materials
and build techniques in an effort to determine which was the best to
manufacture our products. The results consistently brought us back to
one type of aluminum, one type of shelf construction and one vibration
isolation system to use in the manufacture of every one of our Reference
Quality Equipment Racks and Amp Stands.
.
We have always thought
that the key was to offer a well thought out, carefully made product
and to use a straightforward, honest presentation in order to be
successful. We believe that we re on the right track and have been
extremely encouraged by the rapid growth of our company and the high
positive feedback that we have been experiencing.
.
You will not
find a better Equipment Rack, Amp Stand or Component Platform
anywhere...including those costing 3 and 4 times our price. We proudly
note that Cary Audio Designs chose our amp stands to introduce their
flagship mono-block amps at the Consumer Electronics Show. There are
currently a growing number of audio / video manufacturers who proudly
display their products on our racks in their showrooms and many
manufacturers who use our racks to display their equipment at various A
/V shows around the world.
.
We believe that our products are far
superior to anything else you can buy. But, don't just take our word for
it. Please take a few moments and read what the professionals have
said. Check out a review that was conducted by Howard Kneller and
appeared in "Home Theater & Sound".

Each
of our equipment racks and amp stands are of the very highest caliber,
using the construction technique outlined below. If you are looking for a
superbly built 2, 3, 4 or 5 shelf equipment rack, A/V rack or amp
stand, check our other Audiogon ads or contact us for our competitive
pricing. The examples of the Super-Wide Equipment Racks shown in this ad
have maple shelf dimensions which are approximately 60" wide,18" deep
and 1 1/2" thick. A rack with virtually any width, depth or height can
be built to your specifications.
.
The frame of each equipment
rack and amp stand is built with high precision CNC machined aircraft
aluminum to create the most stable, rock solid foundation possible. The
horizontal shelf support beams can be infinitely adjusted vertically to
suit your exact shelf spacing needs. Each unit is fitted with adjustable
spiked feet (always included, not an expensive add-on) which not only
couple the structure solidly to the floor but which also allow for
precise leveling adjustments. We include metal protective pads which may
be used (if desired) under the spikes to protect any delicate floor
surfaces.
.
After testing many materials for the construction of
our shelves, we determined that maple was, without doubt, the best
choice available to isolate and control vibrations. Maple is the top
choice of all wood species. Maple is far sturdier and infinitely more
effective than MDF, will not ring like stone, granite, glass or
synthetic substances (no matter what type of tricks or band aids are
used to attempt to control their tendency to ring) and will not
contribute any resonant characteristics of their own to the sound your
system produces. Maple is more expensive than any of these other
materials, but it is the best, end of story! The construction of our
maple slab itself, makes it many times stronger than a single piece of
maple. The maple couples to the stand using a proprietary shelf
suspension system of load rated co-polymer hemispheres which further
enhance the vibration isolation of the structure. The maple appears to
float above the aluminum chassis, but has become, in essence, one with
the frame by employing this mechanism.
.
The particular equipment
rack that is represented by the price in this listing has 3 maple
shelves that measure approximately 60" wide by 18" deep. The overall
dimensions of this rack are 63"W by 21"D by 31"H. [Any overall rack
dimensions can be constructed request pricing] The weight capacity for
our racks is virtually unlimited.
.
Our base price includes
standard silver anodized aluminum for the support sub-structure, 4 heavy
adjustable spikes and your choice of our 8 stains to finish the maple
shelves. For the super-wide equipment rack shown, pricing of available
options are as follows...spectacular rich satin black lacquer finish for
each maple shelf $195 each, Black anodized aluminum option for the rack as shown in this ad is $390.
.

The following heights are offered
for your convenience and should be considered a starting point to arrive
at  your overall rack height needs:
2 shelf racks are approx 21"
tall, 3 shelf racks are approximately 31" tall, 4 shelf racks are
approximately 41" tall and 5 shelf racks are approximately 53" tall.
Again please keep in mind that we can produce virtually any width,
depth, height or number of shelves that you require.
