HIFI Furniture?

[George Hincapie]

I am after some furniture for my seperates. Can't decide to go for one of those Atacama stacks with the bamboo shelves or something else. What are you guys using please?

I like oak and walnut.

I've got a Podium Reference in oak from Hi Fi Racks Ltd. They do them in a number of finishes. Expensive, very heavy, the tier legs can be customised and don't cost a fortune if you need to change the height of a tier.

Examples of their racks:

Quadraspire. It is modular so different height equipment can be accommodated. There's a variety of finishes available for the shelves. The column supports come in silver or black.

I use a perspex Quadraspire unit. Available pretty cheap s/h and looks cool.

Thanks all.

I went from a cheapo Argos metal rack with glass shelves that used to rattle and buzz when the volume was cranked up to an Atacama stack with the bamboo shelves and it's worth every penny IMO. It looks great and offers a really solid support for your hifi separates.
I'm sure it all helps to improve the sound quality, but in my case I was unable to do a back to back comparison as I upgraded the whole system at the same time as I bought the Atacama.

Thanks all.

Have you decided on which rack to get?

 

[Kei]

Home made tnt flexy table. Rock solid with no vibration, infinitely adjustable and a bargain compared to the racks you can buy.

Good for you.

Have you decided on which rack to get?

Either this design (Base with 2 additional shelves): http://www.atacama-audio.co.uk/p/evoque-eco-60-40-dark-finish-bamboo?pp=24

Or this (not a rack, but I like it for a variety of reasons): http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/60239715/

*Edit*

Ignore.

 

[George Hincapie]

Any thoughts on those choices? Anything else to consider in the £300-£500 range?

I have this one

Atacama Eris

Very pleased with it. Feels sturdy and the wood hass got a real nice feel to it.

I've seen that before. Is it rigid? I presume it must be?

 

[Royal Fleet]

Very.

Here's mine -

That is nice! Thanks for posting the photo - love the contrast of the natural bamboo with the black units.

I have just seen this - £145. Tempted. What do you think?

Hesitating only because of the glass shelves - a few of you have commented that they might not be the best idea.
