I was looking for a small, inexpensive audio rack for my system at work. The system is comprised of:
Proton 930 Receiver
Micromega Leader CD player
NHT SuperOne speakers
Goertz M1 1 Meter Micropurl interconnect
QED Silver Anniversary flat silver speaker cables
Couldn't find anything that met my criteria for stability, relative size required for a system that sits on my desk, appearence, and cost. This DIY project took bits and pieces of a weekend. The rack itself is 19" wide by 14" deep by 19" high. Cost was around $100:
Three butcher block shelves from Ikea @ $20 each
(2) six foot 5/8" #11 threaded rods at $5 each. Cut in half to make a 18" high rack.
24 5/8" nuts @ .30 each
20 5/8" washers @ .20 each
Three "tip toes "
One can of Tremclad Black HighGloss Spray paint @ $3
Could you explain what you mean by countersinking the nuts on the underside of the top shelf. No washers were used at this position, right? Also, which model Audiopoint did you use under the rack?
Thanks... I'm not really all that handy, so I need all the help/advice I can get if I try DIY a rack.
