We are building a new mid century modern style house. I would like to design a nice shelving system for my Luxman/SME rig.
Prices for even the modest racks has me running scared. I'm also not going to go down the rabbit hole of all the vibration control systems.
Flooring is large ceramic tile on the slab. House construction is cement block.
I need a 2 level rack about 72” long
What is the best concept for this application.
A really thick heavy wood shelf. or will that create a dead sound? Or something lighter weight combined with other vibration controls.
I assume floor movement is not an issue but airborn vibrations will be unless I decouple the components?
I'm really not sure about the physics of this issue.
many thanks for any and all help.
