HiFi Racks

A HiFi rack is a stand that holds your components stably, decoupled and in a sensible order stacked on top of each other, instead of piling them loosely on the sideboard. The reason isn't a marketing myth: vibrations from the speaker, from the turntable motor, or simply from walking around the room transfer to sensitive components – a well-decoupled rack filters that out.

Modular systems like the Blok Stax 2G grow with your system: a base module plus as many levels as you have components, at several heights for turntable, amplifier or streamer. If you want something more uncompromising, Clearaudio or Bassocontinuo offer racks with aluminium frames and adjustable spikes that specifically drain resonances instead of just damping them. Straight talk: a CHF 300 shelf from the furniture store does the job for a budget system – from a certain system class upward, you hear the difference.

At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we advise you on size, load and construction that suits your room. For the TV next to it, it's worth taking a look at TV Cabinets & Boards, and you'll find the full furniture overview under HiFi Furniture & TV Cabinets. Wobble-free speakers are available at Speaker Stands.
