Chris.......It came together very nice and with some extra room for system growth.

You noticed that bottom shelf did you?

But since I've moved the system in the room and rewired the loom with WW Silver Eclipse 7, I'm getting closer to the real results I'm looking for in sound quality.

Looks very nice indeed. I don't worry about color match ether as sound is more important.

Nice to see his stands are good.

I bought one of his stylus guages and it was the biggest POS I have ever bought.

Beautiful rack, and a nice looking system!

Very nice, indeed! What are the dimensions? I need to order a double wide - just like yours - and was strongly consider Steve Blinn. I really wanted an SRA Scuttle 3, but finances are limited at the moment. So I thought I'd buy an interim rack and load it up with SRA IsoBases to rest my gear on. What are your thoughts on the Steve Blinn rack?

I love it. As I said above it's really very well built to very tight tolerances and is very heavy. It's a bit industrial looking so it may not suit everyone's tastes or decor. It has built in isolation, so I'd try it out on its own before I'd spring for additional isolation doo hickeys. The dimensions are set forth on the Steve Blinn website under Prices.

Congratz on your new rack!......Built in isolation?.......where? Unless the isolation is hidden or the rack is "Sand Filled" or something .....I'm not seeing any isolation properties, besides just the weight of the rack and wood itself. Maybe I'm missing something?

Little rubber or sorbathene bumpers between metal frame and shelf. I'm not suggesting it's high tech, but between the weight of the rack, the heavy maple shelves, and these bumpers I'm guessing the vibration control is pretty good.
