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?
I don't know if you've built this, but speaking from personal experience, I will suggest you check out a ready made hifi rack because I've noticed that some of the custom builds miss the little details like proper vibration damping that is very important for great music experience. I got a friend who spent three weeks building a custom hifi rack but didn't get the desired output as the metal hummed a bit, and the soundstage felt odd.
I won't want you to fall into the same challenge as he did. So, I feel you should check out Audio Racks from popular brands on Amazon since you've got $900 to spend, which I believe would be enough, or have you checked some of the ready made options already?
