Im in a situation out of my control. We live in a upstairs flat. Due to logistics and cost and landlord politics and other matters. We are powerless to do anything about our moving floorboards. They move very slightly. Enough to make the CD jump. I thought buying an equipment rack would be ideal and solve this. Instead of helping the equipment rack vibrates when you walk across some parts of the floor. The situation you have is the remote control sitting on top of the CD player rattles as you walk across the room. What i would like to know has anyone here been in this position as well. I can not be trusted with a drill and screwdriver. So boring holes in the wall and putting up shelves is a no go area to. If i start that we end up with a some mothers do have them situation and all be left of the house is a pile of rubble honest. So plan C is keeping an eye open for a decent wooden structure i can sit my gear on. in the red cross charity shop.
Serious question i been reading about equipment racks. What purpose do they serve Be honest please with your answers please. Little thing for you to think about before you answer. An Amplifier is not a living thing its a metal case with transistors in made to a very hi standard by some very clever people. We are all agree about that. In layman's terms how would a lump of metal know whether its sitting on glass or sitting on wood and how To react. I was only reading the other day someone saying woodshelves makes there equipment sound so much nicer than glass. If this person 0ver 30 and worked in enginering factory and suffers tinitus i want some of what ever he has been drinking. or what his doctor prescribed.
I have been reading up a bit on this subject. These guys are not talking my language plain and simple im very much with the thread starter here. Trouble im finding when the nerds and anoraks or hi fi trainspotters fire up. Its like they been reading so many magazines t becomes fatiguing i get bog down in understanding the replies.

The quote of the week for me goes to this guy.
Quote /The other day I heard some very expensive Naim gear in a 'flash architecturally designed' room that made it all sound like the public address system at the Wellington Railway Station. They might as well have bought Bose.
So equipment rack do we need them or they just expensive little extras for the HI Fi hobbyist. is it a bit like buying a spoiler for your Citroen saxo :d
