EndersShadow

I know we have a MISC deals of the day thread, but I know a lot of folks seemed to be looking for SPECIFICALLY high quality racks such as Salamander Synergy units.... So I figured I'd start a thread for JUST those types of racks, outside the misc deals of the day thread....

Pretty sure the $1000 is just the DNA. Studios are $600 and the Salamander is $300. That would have been a helluva deal if it was a grand for all items!

Dang on those storage cabinets!

Ok, so I gave up on the idea of finding a Synergy 237 triple Walnut / black rail unit for $300-$400. I found this Bell'O PR11 unit for $250. The Mrs likes the look more so than the Synergy. Here's a pic... excuse my wiring, I'm planning to redo some things and tidy those up.

EndersShadow

^Nice. We have a BellO rack and my personal concern and issue with it is the lack of support for the middle section which is an issue as my 78lb amp is there. It caused a 1/2" dip in the middle I had to shore up with 3 pieces of 2x4 painted black, 1 under the front middle and then one on each side of the two internal panels transferring the load better.

That said, not everyone has a massive amp and heavy components either.

Looks great for your situation though!

WLDock

Yeah, this one is nice but I don't know if I could pay retail for it. This one seems to bow in the middle a little? Maybe due to a TV being on it over time? I might put a wood dowel in the center? Who knows? It cleaned up the space nevertheless.

Weekend Update: To save myself time, I’m not posting what they are anymore, just the links and locations

Most of the time I’m limiting my posts to items 300 or less just as a FYI. These items may have been previously posted depending on how many weeks they have sat for sale.

I'm also tagging folks nearby in case the are, or know of someone that might be interested. For all you CA folks, I totally forget who is where so if you want added to a given section in the future let me know.

Alternately, if you'd prefer I not tag you in listing in your area let me know that via PM.

I keed you not, I had to do that to keep the doors from not being able to close due to the sag.....

PS the dust provides auditory improvements as once in a while when I remove it, it's like lifting a veil over my gear

I also do it because I am still looking for my final piece for my downstairs HT, and since I am, may as well take a few more mins to post all the good pieces I find for others lol....
