Hello, everyone
Please, I am seeking some opinions on making a good hifi rack for my family that can be able to carry 4 equipment, if you add the turntable that will be on top.
That's basically 3 shelves where I can place the preamp, power amplifier, and digital streamer.
I am thinking of using the Maple butcher block platforms on a metal frame for this work.
For the measurements
I am looking at
Length: 100 cm
Thickness: 2.8 cm
Width: 50 cm.
I am budgeting around $900 for the project and won't want to exceed that unless I have no options.
What do you think about the measurement and the materials that I plan to use?

Hey, mate
I like your decision to build your hifi rack making use of the Maple butcher. It is a popular choice and the one that my dad made use of when he constructed the hi-fi rack that we use at home.
It can be able to carry the heavy amps without issues and although it costs more, the quality is always assured. I didn't see you mentioning isolation feet, but it is what you would need under the rack for stability.
I believe that spending $900 or around that price can be able to handle constructing a strong hifi rack for all your sound components that you use at home. I mean the wood would cost around 500 dollars or thereabouts while the cost of the frame won't cost more than $200 to get everything. So, you are within budget.
