the cheapest hi-fi rack richer sounds appear to have these days is about £100, and those AV ones are really a bit too wide for hi-fi stuff.
annoyingly, argos appears to be the best bet...

I'm never sure glass metal is the best material to make hi-fi stands out of. I would certainly have a careful listen before deciding that's what you definitely want. As mentioned, Richer sounds for cheaper stuff is probably best. Or even Ikea - Linn used to recommended the Lack table for their equipment, although it wasn't really the best sounding.

Or make your own? Lightweight wood is the way to go imho.

it's happening...

i'd assumed superfi would be well out of my price range... hmm.
ikea... i'm planning on getting a lack low tv stand anyway so that might be an option actually.

I have one I will sell if you want glass and metal but it is 5 foot high!!! does store all the LP's/cd'd though (200 hundred ish) and all sepearates (think I have 7 in mine)with room on top for other stuff.
One careful vegan owner...like it matters Selling as
1. My wife hates it cos it is too big and does not fit in with the style of the house (this is apparently VERY important)
2. We have a coal fire and i dislike dusting and she refuses (see point one above)
3. It really will not be safe to put it on my boat when I move back in!!!!!
It has space at the back for cable runs so they are out of sight etcThink I paid about £80 from ebay new.
Closest i can find is this for style but mine is taller I assume

do for £30 can deliver for petrol money it is pretty big though and i place it in an alcove.

cheers matey, but that'd be way too big for my plans!

i know might just weigh it in it then!!!
Glass is fine sound wise but does get dusty IMHO

I have a glass & metal Atacama stand, but found that my turntable sounded much better after sitting it on top of a solid oak block (offcut from a kitchen worktop). So maybe you're better off with wood.

hey Junkyard, how does it store the vinyl? I might be interested, I also have an atacama one (thats sat in my loft as my garrard 301 in an SME plinth is too big)

I can recommend the Atacma range, I use one and it's excellent. As for the turntable I use Oak Cone feet to isolate it on the glass. You can add extra shleves to them too so as you add bit's and pieces you always have somewhere to put them. IMHO they are worth the extra.

You can sometimes find reasonable ones on ebay going on the cheap, that's how I got my decent one.

yep, keeping an eye on ebay...
i can wait, i have other things i can be getting on with in the meantime...

I'm currently using a Lack TV stand for my Hi-Fi and to tell you the truth it sounds better than the Metal and glass stand it replaced!
The stand is now for sale?

hmm... righto, so that's good actually as i can get the tv stand i want and also the smaller one for my hi-fi, so they'll match...
i think i may have a winner.
cheers fellas!
