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
Jamestown Distributors sell threaded rod up to 1" and the necessary hardware {1-800-423-0030}.Instead of PVC,Home Depot sells a 1.25"{I.D.}{part #143-200}brass tubing to hide the threaded rod{4'/$40}.I used #7 lead shot to load the stand-no need to caulk.I understand that Starr Sound {OH.} also sells material to mass load.
