I was surfing the alternatives to Audiogon thread and found this interesting item.
I have no idea how a leather covered shelf would sound as it's not one of the materials I have experimented with.
However, other cloth-like materials I've played with were spongy sounding (neoprene swatches, felt mats....etc....).
I did these sound experiments under all of my equipment including sources, the pre-amp feet seemed to be the most advantageous location.
Anyway, this rack is a real looker in my opinion.
I would also imagine there is less glare or reflection off the shelves so if you have it close to your speakers there could be an audible difference.
