After a long wait. “The Rack” is worth the wait. A custom turn table stand tailor made for the American Sound by Stacore. Never thought a 300+ kgs rack could be so elegant. Many ideas on rack for the most talk about tt in this forum were happening. I stick to my approach. And here it is my baby :).

Wow! It looks amazing! Congratulations, Tang -- and Jarek!
 
Yes. Stainless steel with industrial paint.

it's a beauty Tang, Congrats. Jarek did a great job and it should fit the American Sounds perfectly. can't wait to see it all loaded up with stuff.

i'm still waiting to see final images of David's rack and see how soon I might get it.

Thank you Mike. David used to be in jewelry business. I am sure his rack will be beautiful, very functional and no nonsense. It just takes more time to do a one off work. I would have gone with David’s rack if I weren’t committed to Jarek. I talked to Jarek since my EMT 927, but the bare bone EMT without the spring frame on a Stacore looks just terrible. So that didn’t happen.

Best,
Tang

Thank you guys for all the kind words and first of all a BIG thank you Tang for giving us an opportunity to work on this terrific project!
As with our platforms, from the outside you see just an elegant, minimalistic shape. All the technology is inside, hidden from the eye ;)
I'll post some details on the rack construction on our FB pages in a few days as it's something unseen in the industry before.
Stay tuned :)

Tang, you will have a big custom platform anyway. Before putting it on the rack, put your EMT927 on it. Like it is, in its Schwingrahmen. You can be surprised ;)
Cheers,

I'm late to the party, really nice work Jarek!

While they have different aesthetics both what I'm working on and Jarek's rack share the same principles of mass and isolation and I believe believe that both racks function the same.

Thank you David! While it looks moderate, I doubt there is anything like that on the planet ;) I will reveal some of the technology soon.

Cheers

Great looking rack. Good job Jarek. A nice addition to you collection Tango.
