David estimates his stand for the AS2000 weighs 1000lbs. Since renovations are ongoing, I added a support beam under the stereo equipment area. It’s now rated for 30,000lbs. :D

Hi Jarek,

Yes it's all solid steel, just getting the finishing and paint of the first ones done, should have pictures in a week or so. The total is heavy but it breaks down to manageable size for two to assemble.

Well, the structure we are cooking right now will be truly American then ;)

Have you been able to move the rack?

Cheers,
I can move it with my pinky Jarek. (We have to bluff David a little here :))

Looking forward to see it David. I'm sure it will be something (but called nothing hahaha!)

It’s called The Nothing because it’s designed to do absolutely nothing to the sound. It won’t extend the bass, won’t contrive a fake soundstage, no special imaging tricks or any addatatives to the sound, you’ll hear the system and what’s there in the recording and Nothing more.

Hmm, “Nothing” suggests SOMETHING more than “nothing”

Hi David!

Have you decided, then, that the finish of the Nothing stand will not be natural stainless steel to match the turntable?

Black actually makes good contrast and AS stands out more Ron. Trade off is scratches..even when industrial paint is used.

But don’t use black. I want to look good by myself.

The building blocks of the rack have the exact same silk shimmer finish as the AS-2000, you can order the shelves in both black and stainless.
