Happy new year to everyone...

I've just bought an AR Ref 75 amp which I'm very pleased with sonically.

The only problem is that it's a bulky thing which is 500(d)x485(w)x235(h), all in mm. The dimension that is the problem is the 500mm depth as I have an Atacama Eris2 Eco 5.0 Rack which has a tripod support arrangement with central support at the rear which coincides with the position of the power socket which is also central. Basically, it won't fit and hangs out of the front.

I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions of a suitable replacement rack or better still, has one they'd be willing to sell.

I'd prefer 4 shelves but I could manage with 3, ideally with a timber finish (or possibly black) and modular. The space between the lowest shelf and the second lowest should be a minimum of 250mm and the next shelf spacing must be a minimum of 200mm for an AR Ref 3 preamp. The minimum depth will need to be around 475mm but no central supports at the rear.

If anyone has any ideas or something suitable I'd be very pleased to hear from you.

All the best,

Steve.

Hi there

Not selling one but can send you a picture of mine which would work, shelves usable dimensions are 540mm wide by 470 deep.

German made I think but can't remember brand, if you PM your email or mobile I can send a photo, sorry can't upload as don't use a picture hosting site.

I'm sure if you put the picture on here someone will recognise it straight away as a well known brand.
