Ikea Expedit works for me...
Can you take out the divider on the top shelf? Is that how you got that that way, or is there a separate model?

It's a standard 2x2 Expedit. I just left out the divider. The wooden dowels that typically hold the divider in place were trimmed flush with the shelf that the receiver sits on.
I used to use this nice premier rack for the gear and now I use an Ikea Expedit.
Also note the Skylan stands for the Harbeth speakers as they are custom made for the P3ESR by Noel.
Compare those to the very nice budget Studio Tech stands that I used before.
I no longer use the plywood platforms.
Random question - but where did you get those shelves for CD storage??

Wow thats a sweet cabinet, and what TT is that? The TT looks as good as your rack.

Placed called Home Decorators. Received a catalog in the mail and noticed these shelves. They work wonderfully and are quite sturdy.

http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/picture.php?albumid=563&pictureid=6334If you like the Flexi Rack idea but want to build it with black rods and hardware you can buy Salamander Archetype rods and hardware from Audio Advisor. I bought the hardware and made the shelves using cherry wood I had in the shop. The Archetype hardware costs more than regular steel hardware, but I like the way it looks.
You can also keep an eye on the bay - I have seen $380 Archetype racks go for around $100.
I like the clean lines of this. I think slipping a 3/4 or 1" polished copper pipe over the threaded stock would give a boost. Think I'll try it out. Also, that way I can use standard threaded stock from home depot.

I really like the Idea of the flexi racks. Has anyone done one on wheels? I need it to be mobile. I am going to need to move it around often. Some of the gear I have is rack mountable.. Decisions are hard to make. Also I have some threaded rod about 12" and washers and bolts for free from work!! Has anyone also made one using this type of rod? I plan on using some sort of couplers. Any thoughts or insight would be great

This post pertains but a tiny bit off topic, I found a few of these racks at the thrift, NIB.
They are current at Ikea, what is cool is they will hold alot of music and not take up much space and are configurable. They will mount vertically or horizontally.
Im thinking wow I can cram more crap into a small space. And they look pretty darn good.

For now? Seems to look excellent to my eyes. What are those speakers?

IS it vintage????
My favorite DIY in this thread so far. Everything looks soooo right. :yes:

Agree. Really excellent. I need the same, just a bit wider. Like I already don't have too many projects already.

One more silver face component in the bottom right hole would make his setup perfect.
