im in the process of rebuilding my system (sold it ages ago due to moving) and im now starting to think about sometning to put it all on. my old system was on a dedicated four shelf , spiked rack but my new flat dosent have to room , well it does but the other half recons a system rack will take up to much room and she thinks they look stupid.when i try to explain about isolation from vibration and microphonics its the old "not now darling", so im looking into dedicated shelving to put my amp , cd player and tuner on. beside the chimney breast there is an alcove and its going to go in there. only two sides of each shelf will be against a wall , the front and one side wont. still not sure as to how im going to do this , i mean isolate the shelving from the shelf brackets and more to the point, will i have to? has anyone ever used shelving as a hi fi rack before? cheers, Rob.
