Made myself a mini Hifi rack

[willbewill]

I've been downsizing my record playing system:

Tisbury Audio Domino phono stage
Upgraded DIY Super Simple Preamp
Powered by a DIY linear power supply
DIY D Class TPA3116 amplifier
Powered by a linear power supply

and wanted a nice rack to hold all the bits, so visits to Ikea and Toolstation provided all the necessary parts and inspiration was from TNTAudio's 'Flexy Rack' (https://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/flexye.html).

So here it is:

You'd almost think you started with the bamboo chopping boards and built kit to fit it :lol:

[walpurgis]

I think you've just created a market for mini Hi-Fi racks. I reckon you could flog a few of those. Looks good!

[ReggieB]

Very nice.

[brian2957]

[AlexP]

[willbewill]

And my bamboo boards are just sitting on the floor with valve amp on top !. I m so cheap :lol:
Must be a lovely upgrade making a proper stand with em though ?. These things just work.

Ikea shoud change the discription to too two 2 HIFI Foo snake oil boards and treble the price

Looks very good Will :)

i like that,are you sure about the stud size,m6 is 6mm

[willbewill]

i like that,are you sure about the stud size,m6 is 6mmOh yes, as I said this is a mini rack, the chopping boards are only 240mm X 150mm.

Maybe I should have included a cd in the pics for scale.

Am I the only one who ignored the word "mini" in the title and thought this was full-size from the first few photos ?? :lol:
