  I'm not sure about using the triplepoints. I need to do more research first.

    I purchased a Samson rack many years ago. With my gear it outperformed a Grand Prix Audio Monaco stand. AN oustanding equipment rack.

    I found the Triplepoints can be unstable in some situations--I'd leave them

      ...between equipment and shelves or platfoms, regular-height under frontend equipment and Big-Talls under poweramps. I use five under each PS Audio BHK300 monoamp including one Extra-Firm under the front-center, nearest the main power transformer.
      
      They seem to work VERY well, altho I've never tried anything 'expensive'.

          I'm just going to buy the audio rack for now and see how my system sounds before i make any tweaks.
          Thanks to everyone for their advice!
