Default Silent Running Audio Craz Racks
I really like the look of the Silent Running Audio racks. I have never seen or touched one in real life. They are supposed to be very well built and provide good isolation. I also like their amp stands.

Anyone have any experience with this brand?

Doesn't Neil (Beerdraft) have these (not that style as you've shown -- has the $17K "grey" colored/industrial looking racks). He has posted his thoughts on them on this forum. Do a search Howie. Very interesting on what he posted as to his impressions, etc.

I've seen & touched the ones Neil has -- they are well built with "hocus-pocus" materials inside. I could find better use of $17K IMO though.

I'd imagine the break-in ordeal which is quite strange and frustrating would be similiar with any model within the SRA brand.

I thought Beerdraft had Critical Mass racks?

This is the first time I have seen them. They look nice but the racks in the pics do not look like you could fit larger gear in there. For example 501's, a 402 etc.

Jim,

They are all custom built to order so you can fit anything you like I believe.

Howie, that is good to know. I like plenty of space around my gear. The design of the racks is very nice.
