Found a pretty darned nice component rack for 75 bucks. I know it retailed for about 200+ when it was new. Been looking for a good rack for my 2 channel system for about a year, just haven't found anything worth jumping on.

Pics to prove it happened. Thoughts on how I have the components stacked would be appreciated. As an FYI you cant see the Citation 11 pre that will sit on the top rack with the tube amp on it.

The Denon cant go on any other shelf but the top or bottom 2.

My components that need to fit in it are: Denon 3910, Technics SL-B3 TT, Fisher tube amp & a HK Citation 11 pre. Eventually I will be adding some sort of a phono pre and a small DAC for my computer. Still working on how to work it into the setup. Have some thoughts but not sure.

I may build a sand filled wooden isolation box with a floating wooden insert for the TT and add isolation feet to the bottom. It should still be short enough to fit into the lower shelves.

    First off, that's a fake picture...

    Second off, best CL I've ever heard was waking up from the RHCP concert last year and my best friend saying to me, "I think I may have emailed a hooker last night, yep I did.".


    Nice score.

    So what did your mom say about that email when she got it....

    OH NO HE DIDDNNTTTT... :biggrin:.... Seriously kidding which I point out as some folks cant read internet sarcasm (not that your one of those cody, but for the "others" its been stated)

    In retrospect the title of this thread is only going to lead to it going into the gutter... however I will enjoy the ride <- next quote goes like this "thats what she said"

    The TT top is broken so it comes off super easy :smile:. So that's not a concern.
