If all goes as planned then we will be installing a EMM PRE, DAC, Aurender N30 And Shunayta Everest with Sigma and Alpha cables tomorrow. In app 2-3 weeks the Magic M3s, TT and VAC Pre will be here.

Sorry, that‘s too bad. My racks cost app $500 to ship and I live in FL - the same state they are located. They are well wrapped and packed and custom inspections may mess them up.
Audire....Calloway here. I am seriously thinking about following your move and buying an Adona rack . What model is yours.?..As I am not the greatest gift to a screw driver I wonder if they would provide some assistance with the install.....for a price.!I guess I could just ask. how much weight does the top shelf hold. ?.I have 2 SET mono blocks that weigh about 150lbs each..
Every shelf including the top shelf will easily handle that amount of weight. I've always had 90-110 lb components on mine and at one time on a double-wide top platform, a 200 lb Sony Direct-view CRT TV. I know others that put well over 100+ amps, RTR tape decks, or turntsbles on top.
Best advice, talk/email Paul and let him know your components and weights and get his feedback.
I don't think they offer an install service that I have ever seen mention of in the 20 years I've owned multiple of their racks.
That stated, assembly requires only one or two small Allen wrenches that are provided with the rack. You should also have a good level for shelf adjustments (advisable for the variable position platforms in a 3+ level rack).
Paul will talk you through the prep and assembly and I believe also has instructions documented (ask).
Owned 4 Adona Zero GXT Master racks for 13 years with 4 turntables of various sizes. One of my turntables was the over 200 pound Saskia. Especially the oversized top shelf. The granite/cherry wood shelves are robust and the solid structure handles any weight I ever needed it to.
Never owned the lower models but can’t say enough positive things about Adona.
Bullet proof and easy to use and set up. My floor is concrete so very solid.
thanks guys..that is very helpful....especially the 'two small Allen wrenches' part.If all goes well I will be starting the process after the first of the year....Again..thanks..Dave
