Hardware racks are considered full components of audio systems, not just stands for components. All of them make a certain contribution to the sound. Some like granite shelves, others like marble, someone prefers acrylic and scolds glass, and vice versa. But the natural wood array is almost unheard of criticism. In addition, and the appearance of such racks look much nicer, warmer and more home than other monstrous heaps of all kinds of metal rods, pipes, clamps and cones, reminiscent of rather instruments of torture.
The English company HiFi Racks manufactures stands in a wide range of configurations of natural wood of different species, which have an external appeal and sophistication. In more budget versions, the oak solid wood is tinted to match the valuable wood, with steel studs and even additional insulating platforms, especially suitable for vinyl turntables. HiFi Racks products to High End Audio standards can rather be classified as budget, although by appearance (and hearing) it is not obvious.
