What's the best audio rack?

[JackD201]

As I understand, the Scuttle borrows from the design of the Teo Audio rack ($7500, double width), which employs aluminum foam shelves with some carefully placed materials for damping and tuning. The shelves are very light yet strong enough to pretty much support a large truck across the span, the science of which can be proven as by far the most effective approach, especially compared with designs using high mass.

SRA borrowed from Teo? Really?

Adona Racks made right here in my town, well made.

I have three favourites:

1) Finite Elemente Emperor (this rack was discontinued from the moment Finite Elemente changed ownership. I have been told they are working to reintroduce it this year).
2) Harmonic Resolution System MXR + M3X.
3) Critical Mass MAXXUM.

I have never compared them...any guidance on how they compare? I really like the HRS M3x's which I own and also use a ton of HRS Nimbus Couplers on my DAC & Pre...and then Ultra 5s (sometimes with HRS Nimbus Couplers) on all the power components, transport and the speakers & sub.

This is by no means whatsoever considered a best by any stretch but it's the one I've owned for over 20 years and I love the darn thing. It looks cool, the legs are sand/shot fillable and the shelves sit on little spike jobbies. I did replace the top shelf with a granite slab to improve TT isolation. I thought they had been discontinued but here it is albeit $200 more than I paid for mine...

One might see some similarities upon inspection. Just my opinion, I suppose.

I was just surprised because racks aren't on Teo's website.

The website has been out of date for a while but should be updated in the coming months to include the rack, the Liquid Pre passive preamp, and all other current products.
