    I had to look up this panzer material. It's full name is Panzerholz. A plywood material made under extreme pressure, which is so dense it sinks in water. It also happens to be bullet proof and was used by the Germans on tanks. Must weigh a ton!

    Joey, you might find this interesting.

    I should add that results are not surprising. Any wood or wood product will not resonate like metal will.

    Clear audio makes it for their statement products... it’s very cool

    My SRA rack uses birch but not panzer

    The guy who builds the panzer will text me a mock up of a rack he designed, I’ll see how good he really is. Otherwise I’ll stick with the Baltic platforms that I designed.

    A 4” stack should be enough to hold any product

    A 4" stack! Are you looking at supporting a dump truck?

    I think it's about lots of small incremental improvements, which may be subtle on an individual basis, but when you add them up you get a huge not so subtle improvement. But you're just not going to get that without going through the process.

    You make a good point sir

    If I go with panzer, he says he can’t do 4” without a special order from Germany... sounds cost prohibitive
    Best he can do is 3” panzer for the price quoted

    But if I do birch ply, I can push it to 4”

    The picture below is a 3” prototype of Baltic ply

    I can see max needing 3" on base, and 2" on 2nd and 3rd levels

    Also keep in mind spacing between legs to allow a pallet jack. When I ordered my rack shelves, I ordered 2 24" or so ...so I could split later if I didn't want a large component rack.

    The spacing and of the legs height of the bottom shelf was to accommodate a pallet jack so I could raise and roll out especially using spikes. This also allow easy access to rear of components to switch out cables etc. Better than trying to slide components and scratch the wood.

    I am not sure if you’re serious about the pallet jack...

    The idea is coming to fruition...

    I am attracted to the panzer but I don’t know if I can build that many nor can I find a builder to drill through it and shape it and finish it.

    1 for the Boulder
    2 for the JL subs
    1 for the jl crossover
    1 for the degritter
    2 for future amps (will be custom sized to fit either McIntosh 601/611 or Parasound JC1/1+
    7 platforms to buffer the shelves on the SRA Scuttle, under all but the VPI table.

    Very serious about the pallet jack...I wouldn't have wasted that many words explaining why I recommended it
