idc:Impressive rack Joel. It looks like the it might get rather hot though.
Not at all, as the shelves actually have a clearance of about 5cm above each unit. The shelves are only about 2cm thick.

I was thinking the same thing. It looks fantastic, but how can that tight fit provide proper ventillation. NAD told me to allow 5 inches of clearance! LOL...
Hey Joel, post a BIG picture....that pic blows...

I have a rack designed by the same people as Joel. The front of each shelf is to cover the gaps. The shelf that the components sit on gives plenty of room all around.
Look at the picture and the shelf for the 1st component is way above the top of the second component - make sense?

there used to be a thread on them, but i cant remember the name and its been archived.

It's bespoke, cost £285 delivered, very heavy and really improves the sound. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Does it have a cable management system? As Chief Forum Cable Buyer and 'person with the most amount of cables on the forum award winner', where are they?
Get them out so we can all see them.
Or is that why we only see part of the setup, as next to it, just out of picture, is a massive pile of cables!?

They're round the back.
I only have 6 mains leads, 8 speaker cables (biamp 2 pairs of speakers), 4 interconnects, an HDMI and an aerial cable now. I just sold my TT and phono amp which was another 4 cables in total.ÿ
Yes it does have a cable management system of sorts...ÿ

That speaker looks very close the wall and it appears to have an iPod dock on top of it! (Maybe it's a phone.)
Have you tried moving them out a bit and moving the rack to give more space for the speaker to 'breathe'?
At least to get the speaker's two spikes off the same floorboard it shares with the rack to reduce the vibration going into your electronics. (CD player especially.)

JohnDuncan:idc:'person with the most amount of cables on the forum award winner' Ooo, a challenge...
That should be ......winner(Hifi), there will be av enthusiasts with even more.
Twice a year my old setup on its Target metal framed, wooden shelved stand would be lifted out from the wall for a good clean. I hated that job.

No room to move anything I'm afraid Chebby. Not ideal but it sounds good. I would imagine it will sound better still in more space but I just ain't got it!ÿ

Well I've just sold my Dalis for £525, that's a loss of £125 over 2 years or approx 20p per day, so about 4-5p per hour of listening. Can't complain about that really.
Well I look after my kit and get good prices selling on. Well chuffed with the new speakers too, but the Dalis were good too. Double the RRP wasn't double the performance by a long stretch, but better, and very nice indeed.

Joel,
Does your audio rack have T shaped shelves or are they full rectangular shelves?
Full shelves. I didn't like the T shaped ones, thought that a full sheld would be more sturdy and therefore better sounding.

EvilWolf:That's a fantastic rack. A perfect fit for your Arcams.
Surprisingly...
Not good for an upgrade though, unless it's Arcam.
