Mike.......I have seen some nice looking Quadraspire Racks. I like the curved and vented shelves. They also have a high-end version called the Quadraspire X-Reference shown in the photo below.

Mike should be familiar with these as I believe he is still an authorized retailer.

Rix Rax are priced very fairly, especially when you consider that he will customize whatever you want at no extra charge and builds it all by hand. http://www.rixrax.com/ Bobocalune also has a sweet set. Mine is below.

@BayStBroker, very nice looking setup & racks you have there :thumbsup:. I forgot to mention RixRax are one of my favorite audio rack manufacturers.

Btw when are your S3 Mk2's due? Good choice of finish!
 
Thanks! I expect to get some of the first S3 Mk2's to roll out of the factory. We are still hoping for later this month, but I figure it will be March before they ship.

So many lovely racks posted on this topic :)

My own "Rack:roflmao:" is a IKEA furniture. It's surely not optimal, but it does it's job ! :)
 
Here's some very cool racks out of Poland. The isolation system (although it takes a little time to understand) is ingenious.
Think of a large radius bowl insert in the bottom of the shelf sitting on a free floating carbon fiber 'bullet' with a smaller radius dome on the top and a larger angle inverted cone on the bottom. This element in turn sits on a steel spike and is free to pivot in all horizontal directions similar, but different to the Symposium products. The shelves themselves are made of 3 layered composite MDF and HDF up to 50mm total thickness with decent looking veneers, and the price is right for what you get (but shipping and import duties may be problematic).

Partial to the Mapleshade Samson line, but then again that is the only 'good' rack I have tried. Have one in my stereo, and two in the HT.

They are solid maple with steel rods. My two channel rack, empty, weighs 500 pounds, which helps with vibration control.

The Samson's are really good racks. They take Michael Green's original Just-a-rack concept to the extreme. I still have one of Michael's Deluxe racks I bought many years ago.
 
I own a Solidsteel H6 rack. But some of the shelves have started to bend. I might want to replace them. But with what? My first thought would be Birch multiplex or maybe Bamboo multiplex.

I could go exotic and look for Lexan or simular.

But I'm not sure. Any Tips? How thick?

Also thinking about putting some sand or something inside the legs of rack and replacing the spike with maybe the cheapest Ansuz darkz.

So many options. Any tips would be welcome.
 
Do you want to replace the whole rack or just the shelves?
