I am looking for an inexpensive solution to house one of systems. I like the looks of the VTI BLG 404 but I am worried about the quality at this price. I do not need vibration control etc. Does anyone have a VTI rack?
 
I got inpatient with the Salamander site. Could not seem to build my own. I am considering Steve Blinn also. I need a 5 shelf rack to house my mc300, c29, mr78, mystery next buy, and a turntable on top. I want shelves to be black glass or cherry wood. Support poles silver or black.
 
Yea I got one too. They are average as mike said , even filled with sand.
I can see the bottom shelf making a good amp stand.ooh! Good idea I may try that next week!
I used it for awhile but the stacked unit isn't all that sturdy .
And btw the silver one looks way nicer in the picture than in real life.lol.
I have both the black and silver shelves.
But for the price they did the job for me for a couple years. In a pinch its
A reasonable cheap solution .
 
You know solid steel has been on sale at music direct for awhile. There's a 3.4 stand for like $350 that looks pretty nice.

Thanks: average really does not sound like a good grade. I need something sturdy but vibration management is not an issue in this circumstance so I do not want to pay for that.
 
My wife has even said "get rid of those ugly racks". Wife approval to spend money. Not sure what I will get. I'm interested in suggestions too.
 
I just read your other post. I would definitely NOT go 5 shelves high on a vti.
Never tried it but I wouldn't want to.
 
The problem with so many stands is that they don't have enough big shelves with 9 inches of clearance (min). 7 inches clearance is a joke and not good for tube gear. 11 inches clearance would be ideal. Need wide, deep, tall, sturdy shelves (each shelf) that can hold 100-150 pounds each - especially the bottom shelf.

Mike I love all that solid steel stuff. It's on sale at music direct but I think Jeff carries them too.
The new 6 series is a little pricey but real nice.
I'm going to use my DIY rack in the middle and 2-2 shelf solid steels 6.2 for either side of it.
But there's also a million others to choose from . I just like the looks of the ss

Mike these are available in a size that will fit any arc amp They were actually made for my 2301's & then I changed amps so SGR Audio still has them. Any size or dimension can be ordered & they improve the sound as they have excellent isolation. They also ship w/wide

Thanks Kevin. They look excellent.
 
Those sgr 's are beautiful!! I love all the 2 shelf units. Looks expensive
 
I looked em up . Hard to find a price. I found it at 750 Australian per shelf. Don't know how much it is in US dollars .

I've gone three high with vti and if you don't mind spending some time to ensure everything is completely level, they can be secure.
