I’ll get some photos up.
it is pretty large, but I’m glad I have some real estate for all my components. Ideally, triple wide with 3 levels. But I’ll settle for double wife 4 levels.

Double wife? Now I really need some photos!

Would be nice to know. I have moved house at least 10 times and each time i move the Craz Rack1 by myself so i am well aware of the weight. Craz 3's frames seem thinner as well so I'm not sure if it's just the shelves. Of course I can't attest to whether this makes any difference to the sound though...

Okay, mystery solved: Regarding the weight difference between your Craz 1 and Craz 3, it's the shelves.

Per SRA: "The Craz 3 shelves are thinner and lighter but much better. The weights of the frames are exactly the same as long as the configurations are the same. The Mass-Load supports can differ slightly based on application, but would not be significant enough for anyone to feel."

Good to know although I could have sworn the frames had gotten lighter too...

I really like my Solid-Tech Reference Rack Of Silence:


And my Finite-Elemente Pagode rack:


But I have a real sweet spot for my custom RIX RAX rack:







Pound for pound I’m really impressed with the design of my ultra rare Goldmund Mimesis rack:



It is built like a tank:

@Carlos269 what is the turntable on top of the Rix Rack?

@Carlos269 what is the turntable on top of the Rix Rack?

It is a custom idler that I’m putting together. It is based on the Rondine BH12, with the massive Ashland motor.

It features a massive custom TTWeights Momentus V2 arm pod, a 1700 Gram Copper Nickel Plated SuperMat, and carbon fiber & stainless steel record weight.

For arm I’m using a custom Dr. Robert Fuchs 12 inch tonearm, with an Ortofon SL-15 E MC cartridge into an Ortofon STM-72 SPU Moving Coil MC Phono Cartridge Step-Up Transformer.

The phonostage is a custom North Audio MM RIAA amplifier based on the Raytheon 5755 and Sylvania 5687 tubes.

This will be a special turntable when I’m done with it and is a good companion to my Transrotor and Micro-Seiki turntables.
