In Reply to: Glass vs MDF vs ? for rack shelving posted by gino on May 24, 2000 at 07:49:12:
I've tried MDF and glass and neither were ideal with my system; the MDF warped under the weight of the power amplifier and PSU and the glass rang, giving the bright, overly forward sound described in other posts.I've ended up using carbon fibre composite shelves - two layers of carbon fibre sheet with an aluminium honeycomb in the middle.
It's non-resonant, very very strong and provides excellent isolation for valve equipment and (of course) source components.
The only problem is that it's not cheap, but the results certainly satisfied me enough to suggest to the developers that they made it into isolation platforms rather than experimental valve amp chassis and kit bits.
This unfortunately means that you can't get shelves any more; though I suppose they might make some up to order...
