 "Jay Garrett auditions an impressively affordable Italian-made hi-fi rack"

"Although a certain brand of affordable Swedish flatpack furniture is no stranger to many people's listening rooms, bespoke hi-fi racks are still worthy of investigation and investment. We have moved on from the fancy glass and steel items of the nineteen nineties because most – whilst looking the part – did little in terms of controlling resonances. However, that does not necessarily mean you have to spend thousands in order to give your hi-fi separates the resting place that they deserve."

"Italian company Solidsteel has spent the past thirty years researching and manufacturing audio equipment supports. The rack from the company's S2 series you see here is the brand’s entry-level solution, and close attention has been paid to protecting equipment from vibrations coming at your hi-fi from both ground and air."

For Your Home

Rock-solid stability and visually sleek, this rack is constructed with a combination of high-quality materials, including stainless steel, aluminium, iron, and MDF. The result is a rack that is sturdy enough to support your appliances, yet modest enough to blend right into your home decor.

Combats Vibration

With hi-fi appliances, especially high-end equipment, manufacturers attempt to minimize internal vibration. However, this effort cannot completely protect against vibrations introduced by speakers and other external factors. This is where a trustworthy becomes essential to playing back your media without disruptions to performance or causing damage to the equipment.

The stainless steel floor-spikes included are adjustable, to finely regulate the frame on uneven surfaces. They also are critical in minimizing energy transferred from the floor up through the poles of the rack, and ultimately into your equipment. Floor pads are included for protecting hard surfaces from becoming scratched by the spikes.

Ventilation Matters

Most home theatre equipment needs ample ventilation to ensure they don't overheat. Enclosed cabinets can cause unexpected shutdown and could potentially reduce the lifespan of your AV appliances. The advantage of this unit is that it allows your equipment to breathe properly.

Makes Your Music Better

All these careful design decisions result in a unit that isolates and protects your equipment. This means that turntables/CD players and tape decks will perform with fewer skips or interruptions, resonant frequencies in your room are minimised, and amplifiers are less likely to overheat.
