Stackable vs. Non-Stackable Racks
 
Any differences between the two in sound quality? Which one do you prefer and why?

Interesting question. I have had both but can't tell you if I could tell how the racks impacted the sound. Maybe if we were talking HRS or Critical Mass more might chime in.

Thanks Jim! I would love to have HRS or Critical Mass but unfortunately they are way out of my budget. :sigh:

Nah, you have a premier system and you know the right people. :naughty:

Consider also Core Design Audio Racks...more affordable than HRS, Stillpoints, etc., and very, very good.

I have HiFi Racks Podium Reference stackable rack. Easy to reconfigure with different leg heights and new shelf tiers. Replaced a no-name fixed shelf rack and there was no comparison. Much better SQ on everything. Then I added Stillpoints...

Budget is around $2,000. I’d have to find an HRS or Critical Mass that fell off the truck. :rofl4:

More affordable but still a bit over budget. I might have to stretch it a bit.

This is more in line with my budget. HiFi Racks are similar to Timbernation Racks which is what I’m leaning towards.

I’m also considering the Adona racks.

Did you make a decision yet? I'm considering Timbernation as well, but have been waiting for a week for a response to a few messages from them. Doesn't instill confidence in the buying process.

Not yet! Construction for my new room will be starting any day now so I still have a couple of moths to decide.

That being said I am leaning towards the non-stackable.

Audio Advisor. Pangea Audio racks. I have one for my turntable, great for the budget minded.

I very recently got a Quadraspire rack, I am very happy with at a price I was very happy with. It’s really really nice. I got it from “this guy I know.” I can say this about my guy- he will return your calls (as long as you are a subscriber).

Hmmm....who could that be? :scratch2:

Not to take away from someone nearby who might offer audio gear for sale :whistle:, but I’d like to hear if anyone has an opinion on the Adona racks.

njcardave 09-25-2020 07:41 PM

Thanks for the heads up on the Quadraspire racks. 👍

robfine 09-26-2020 01:37 AM

My pleasure. I’m really happy with mine.
