Cool-looking, decent priced hi-fi rack...
If I were installing a system in a new house, and didn't want to spend a fortune on hi-fi furniture, I'd buy one (or possibly two) of these:

I'm currently looking for a new or good 2nd hand rack Marco, looks stylish enough, how much is it? Couldn't see a price?
Need something effective at dealing with vibration as my system sits between the speakers and I have a suspended wooden floor, I like this new idea of using bamboo for the shelves, looks great too.
The Atacama Eris is one I'm looking at but not cheap.

£265 for the base unit ,shelves are extra
Edit ,just noticed the shelf pack is discontinued ? What's the point in selling the base units then
I have to say I prefer the Eris eco £389 for the complete rack .

Nice rack by the way Marco, right up my street. Stone Audio are just down the road from me and a nice bunch they are too.

It looks as if the shelves are metal with a glass top suspended on a bumper of sorts. I would think that both the metal and glass would ring, and a bit more than a polymer bumper could neutralise.

In the 70s & 80s when I was a tad fanatical about hi-fi I used to come up with ideas for this and that (that never materialised) and this was one idea I had for racking - although the side sections were half the width of this. Some years later someone else had the same idea and made it available.

I believe that glass is one of the worst materials you should put under you're kit, along with granite.
