Yeah, nice.

Now how about some details (design/materials).

And please describe why you think it out performs more expensive racks (theory? A/B comparison?).

What an awesome job, could you build one for me?

Great job! looks purdy. If you do build amp or speaker stands maybe you would be up for sharing the build with us?

Looks Great John, do you have anymore pix? R.K.

John you have inspired me to build one myself.

That is well thought through design, and a nice end product!

I like how it is modular, so over time if you shift components, your rack can grow, shrink and adapt with you.

I did not consider that as much back in 1993 when I built mine. The darn internet did not exist then either, so it was a full dream up, and wander around Home Depot, and then off to a lumber place to get wood laminated together to fit the size I was thinking up.

Here is a pic from the early 2000's, in my old house with the finished basement. All components are now different thanks to AC!

I wish i could be as good as you at building racks. Generally, buying audio racks from companies its sooo expensive.
Good job,

Everyone likes a nice rack!

I have been looking for an Audio Rack with Glass Shelves, but probably i ask my friend to build it for me.

Nice job guys.

Nice rack dude

I would love to do something similar....could you give a bit of the step by step info,for making it? I would love to do something like that. Did you build the platforms also for the components?

morganc · « **Reply #17 on:** 13 Mar 2011, 08:12 pm »

Thanks John.....I Need one as I changed from Integrated to Separates and now not enough room for it all!
