I could try acrylic,there is a good store near me which cuts acrylic any size you need,so I could get a shelf made and try it. I don't want too much acrylic as I have a Clearaudio turntable.

What does owning a Clearaudio deck made from acrylic have to do with the price of eggs?

They don't use this material just because it looks pretty...

I agree with you to a point, especially as I am one of those who have been spending the money on the changes over the years.

However, each change has brought a significant improvement to my ears, warranting the outlay. Also they do offer discounts and trade-in schemes to those who already own Music Works stuff.

Yes but where does it end, Steve? I just couldn't be doing with swapping and changing my rack every time Larry and the lads come up with a new design! Good luck to them - I hope they do well, but the bottom line is that regardless of any performance increases it's a clever way to keep your customers on a continual upgrade spiral

As for mains blocks, you know where I stand on this issue: hard-wire everything and don't use any! It's much cheaper and ultimately offers better performance.

Marco, aren't all developers continually striving for continual improvement? If this wasn't the case, then CD would have never been invented, Nasa wouldn't be trying to put a man on Mars... and more close to home, Hi-Fi manufacturers wouldn't release new products.

What is wrong with continually trying to achieve perfection?

Hi Rick (or whoever is using Rick's account ),

Nothing whatsoever; in fact I applaud it! It's just not where I personally want to be with equipment racks, that's all.

I prefer to have something that's 'sorted' from the beginning and then forget all about it and just listen to music once I've got it the way I want it. I completely understand what you're doing and why it's necessary to experiment with the design you've produced but, like I said, I just couldn't be doing with swapping and changing my rack at regular intervals and it costing me a fair bit of cash each time to upgrade to the latest model.

With my non-magnetic stainless steel Mana, all I have to do if I want to increase the performance of my supports is add another Soundstage - the basic design is 'sorted' and has been since the beginning. Although if I did, I'd definitely need a ladder to change CDs or records!

I like it this way because I'm the one in charge when upgrades take place, not someone else

Different strokes for different folks, I guess... Good luck though with the new supports. I'm sure they will do well.

Marco.

You saw it here first folks!

Very funky and 'modern', personally I play about a lot with racking and supports although it makes little difference to my DAC and amp if I'm honest. Still, I don't spend much as I tend to use raw materials rather than finished items.
