Baby brother to the solidsteel 5 series stands. I bought this as a demo from Music Direct in November 2011 for $475 - a '7' - in good condition (some small scratches and dings on the mdf shelves and steel legs).
From Music Direct's website (note current new price of $599):
"THE Affordable Audiophile Rack! One of the Best Budget Audiophile Equipment Racks Ever Designed!
The Solidsteel Three Series is the "little brother" of the best selling Five Series racks. The Solidsteel Three Series racks are designed for those who want the best possible sound at a more affordable price. Despite the lower price, Solidsteel's "no compromise" approach still applies here; the four-leg rack is built on a spiked, steel frame with a black anti-resonant finish. All five shelves on Solidsteel 3.5 are finished in black matte and are individually decoupled from the frame; sitting on specially designed vibration control hemispheres. The Solidsteel 3.5 is the perfect platform for any audio system.
Solidsteel's outstanding equipment racks, amplifier stands and speaker stands are sonically superior as well as beautiful to look at. They are exceptionally well designed and built, enhance the sound of any components (including turntables) placed on them, and look great in the process. Audiophile sensibilities and Italian design have converged in a single product. Solidsteel racks present our systems, not only in our showroom, but also in our homes, in the best light both sonically and visually. Now you can achieve the same results for your system. Solidsteel's racks are hand-welded for rigidity and stability, and the welding is a work of art, regardless of price or model. The stainless steel structural tubes incorporate crimped steel bars at the end of each tube, and are coated with either silver or black anti-resonance paint. The dimensions of the racks, and the shape of the vibration damping Sorbogel hemispheres and steel spikes are all chosen to maximize sonic benefits. Each 4-legged rack is equipped with adjustable leveling spikes, and are fillable with lead, sand, or Microbearing steel to further enhance their performance.
