Are equipment racks oddly the most difficult audio purchase?

Very impressive that you had the patience to compare stands!


It is convenient to have a CD player to play easily repeatable test tones.



I think HRS is also a science-based and very respectable brand in this field.

“Science-based” compared to what and why?

Had my previous setup on cheap rack and never really gave it a ton of thought … except that I had the turntable on an HRS platform as it got rid of the humming issue I had as I turned up the volume. Then when I got my first tube amps borrowed a pair of HRS platforms and compared that to the cheap amps stands I had been using and the difference was really amazing with the tube amps. Sound stage really opened up and everything was much more detailed and could lear low level details that previously had been obscured. Made the decision there and then to build a complete HRS setup which I did and never looked back. With the level of gear I now own I think it was a great decision.
