DIY: Advice on Hi Fi Rack

[Naturelover]

Veneer and polish will give you the best looking finish. Same as wood.
Suggest you don't scrimp on a rack. It does make a difference.

If the shelf spacing is going to be fixed, threaded studs can be avoided. stainless steel pipes with welded bolt at one end and nut at other end can be used instead. Need to visit roadside fabricators dealing in grills or staircase railings.

Alternately, pls check at nearby hardware store, ask for Mirror studs to get the idea

Avoid glass shelf if possible as they will resonate with the music. Use acrylic instead if available. Easy to maintain and upgrade later.

I went to a steel fabricator and few plywood stores. So far have an option to use ply or board with veneer but din't get anything from the fabricator.

True, that image was just for reference to get idea regarding pipes in assembled condition.

Imo, acrylic will be best and better than wood. If you tap on them you don't hear any sound or vibrations. That's one reason why acrylic platters are very popular in turntables.

Maybe you should consider laminate material sheets.
I have used 1/2" laminate all around the house/garden (except for audio/video stuff).
They are extremely stable and look good too.
Full sheets (8x4) are very expensive. If you search around, cut pieces may be available.

Actually in my boy's room, have used it as a make shift shelf too.

Showcase your audio/video setup here!......

Just set this up after moving to Bangalore. Bought the Cambridge Audio CXN v2 as my source and DAC and added it to my set up. Source / Streamer: Cambridge Audio CXN v2 Amp: Cambridge Audio CA351a Speakers: Wharfedale 121 Only for music! That's it! Just a suggestion.. If you have longer...
