Timbernation Rules

Mike

The tallest tube in both the DAC and the preamp are 7" so I've got an inch clearance and more would be better but haven't had an issue yet. It does limit which aftermarket footers can be used though. I would get at least two with 10" spacing.
 
I found a local builder who made me two racks from California walnut (Claro). They are gorgeous. Glued and screwed with flat plugs.

To protect the wood from tube amp heat I made heat shields using Aramid insulation sandwiched between the shelf bottom and aluminum flashing. The Aramid material is rated to 600 degrees. The shield is under the second shelf from the bottom and is invisible from any normal position.

This does not solve the ventilation problem for the equipment. It only protects the wood and whatever finish is on it. Of course after doing that for both racks I went to solid state in one system and moved the tube amp to a stand between the speakers in the other system. :facepalm:

I just purchased 2 racks from Timbernation and must say they are works of art. The fit and finish is tremendous and their owners were a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend their racks.
 
I own three Chris. Two singles wide's and one double wide. They will last for decades. It's always been a pleasure dealing with you and the others.

I love that you use my video review of your rack on your website! I love my TimberNation rack but here is a tip for others: get bigger than you think you need. With all the gear coming in and out for reviews I frequently run out of room! LOL

I purchased 2 of your racks this past year and must say they are works of art and everyone who sees them is overwhelmed with how good they look. Money well spent and much improvement in sound quality. Sam
