Post Subject: Everything is completely reversiblePosted by Romy the Cat on: 4/24/2015

Thanks, guys. They were quite valuable recommendations. I wonder how would I feel if Thomas what he begin to talk would inform me that I shall not have more than 3 tonearms on my turntable or more than 3 pressing of my favorite records…

The reality is that I am doing it completely voluntary and I am very enthusiastic to try this new vertical configuration. My current rack is super comfortable but it is so demanding room footprint wise. Also I do have a LOT of room around my right channel that is not being used. Literally, it is a short equipment rack with a few oscilloscopes, narrow frequency voltmeter, some projects aps and some other odd things. It should not be in the room to begin with and now I have found a way in that vacant location to put a different equipment stand what I “might” load most of my components. There is a lot of room around it and I might put PurePower unit and DAW outside of equipment rack and they still will be not in my way. I was planning last night and made sort of prototype and it looked very promising.

I for certainly need to make a custom top plate for the rack. This will be 37 by 20 to accommodate TT and CD transport. The rest will be 6 shelves. I am thinking what kind frame to use. I can weld my own but I would need to have adjustable shelves – that would be very hard to make custom. There is an option to use something like Salamander Designs Archetype Type design. They are 5/8 metal rods with shelve between them. The good part is that I have in attic perhaps 15 of those shelve and plenty of metal rods. The bed parts is that this type assembly is kind of flimsy. Well, I wonder if do use the Salamander construction principle and load this thing with at least 700 pounds atop then would it give to the whole assembly some stability… I am really egger to experiment with it…
