New Audio Rack

The color contrast between the shelves and the equipment bezels are perfect. Very rich looking. Nice job....great taste!
 
As good as the PX-2 is;for a system of the capability of Mark's,the GT 2000 is the Yamaha of choice.It comprehensively betters the PX-2 across all criteria.
Couple it with the HX-10000 and there wouldn't be anyone who wouldn't be impressed.

The frames for the 3 upper shelves are 21" deep x 22" wide x 2" thick. The frame for the bottom shelf is 23" deep x 22" wide x 2 1/2" vertical thickness and 1.75" horizontal thickness. The shelves are 1" thick and sit inside the frames supported by bracing. I don't have the details for how the frames, shelves, or bracing were constructed. The shelves and bracing have areas routed out to accomodate the Symposium Rollerblock Jr isolators. Height not counting the leveling feet is 34.5"

32 titanium hex flange bolts, M10x1.25 x 70mm + 32 matching hex flange nuts. I ordered them from racebolts. Stainless steel would work fine and be much less expensive.

The 4 aluminum u-channels are 2.25" deep x 4" wide x 34" long. The side walls are .29" and the back is .19". I got a 24' length (the minimum order) from voyager aluminum. Part #100089. The holes for the bolts in the u-channel are countersunk 1/16" for the bolt head flanges.

The 4 leveling feet are part #SSW-2A from SW Manufacturing. You'll need matching threaded inserts.

Not much chance of getting a GT-2000 here in the States. I've tried ordering from HiFiDo, but have never received a response. So it will have to be a PX-2. I'm waiting for one to arrive. :D I don't know if the isolation on the rack be sufficient to prevent the tonearm of the PX-2 from bouncing when someone walks around the room. Because the wood floor is springy I have to use a wall mounted shelf for the Dual CS5000. If you spot an HX-10000 for sale I'd appreciate a heads up.
 
Oh man that is one gorgeous set up. Im impressed !

My rickety ole IVAR stuff looks like kindling by comparison.
