rigidrack® Audio Furniture

I received the maple platform earlier today and was compelled to comment. First, it was very carefully packaged and arrived in perfect condition. Next, the maple is really beautiful and it is an impressive, massive, heavy platform which I placed on top on my equipment rack and then placed my VPI turntable upon that beautiful maple. Finally, I’ve had this turntable for many years and it seriously has never sounded so good (and it already sounded great). The bass totally tightened up and is better defined as is the imaging and sound-staging, vocals are also fuller and richer. I expected to hear some improvements but I was not expecting the great degree of overall improvement that I am now enjoying. This was as good or even better than some of the improvements in sound that I have enjoyed in the past by upgrading my interconnects, power cords, cartridges, and tubes...and at a fraction of the price of those upgrades.

Highly recommend. In the future I hope to purchase one of your four-shelf equipment racks and some more platforms for my amps and preamps.

Thank you for a wonderful product and my best wishes for the on-going success of Butcher Block Acoustics.

I appreciate the friendly service, quality product, prompt shipping, and reasonable prices... talk about bang for the buck. After hearing what the platform did for my DAC, I can't wait to hear the cumulative results w/ my other tube gear. An amazing system will sound even better.

To quote a certain made-for-TV 1960s group: "I'm a believer".

Thanks and best wishes,

I got the block. It's beautiful! The verdict....WOW! The music is more lively. Bass really stands out. My son heard me playing a record and asked me what I had changed. He could clearly hear the difference. This tweak was well worth it! 
It's a great product! I am SO GLAD that I got it. In the next month or two, I will going to buy two more blocks. 
Put me down as a Believer and as a fan!

I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the stands - I have noticed a definite improvement in my system’s sound and they look wonderful. Thanks again for making such a great product.

I have received the rack and it is spectacular! It was super easy to assemble, looks great and the sound of my system took a big step forward! I am very happy with it!

I received my turntable isolation platform today and just wanted to commend you on how well packaged it was. I’ve ordered many audio products over the years and I don’t recall any of them being as professionally (and safely) packaged as your product was.

I also wanted to let you know that I love the isolation platform. The quality is outstanding and it works great with my setup.

I will be certain to recommend your products to all of my audio friends!

The 1.5" platform arrived last night and I am super impressed. Before installing it, I figured it might be noticeable, but I didn't foresee that it would be the single biggest improvement to my Kenwood KD-600 since putting a new arm on it. It's almost like I got a new cartridge! Everything across the spectrum is smoother, more unified and whole, and the music coming out of the speakers sounds less like a recording and more like people. I can finally turn up the volume without a runaway bass "bloom", and I can hear details in cymbals and drums that just weren't there before. Suddenly, my own analog system reminds me of what I've heard at audiophile shows.

I used to think my turntable by itself did an okay job at insulating the arm and cartridge from vibrations, but obviously not. I don't know why I didn't order this thing sooner. I feel like the world needs to know how they're missing out if they don't have their turntable sitting on one of your platforms.

The BBA platform for my Stillpoints-footered ARC line stage produced an immediately-discernible improvement in performance focus, soundstage delineation, dynamic "snap," and low-end solidity.

Corvallis, OR

I received my Butcher Block Acoustics Platform, & per your advice/information, I couldn’t be happier! It made an immediate & noticeable sonic improvement, while clearly providing the isolation I needed. The fitment is great & didn’t push the table too high.

Thanks again for your assistance! You have a fine product!

Husband & Wife Team Review!

“We have had the rigidrack® assembled and in use for a week now.  We like it a lot.  First, it has allowed us to spread out our equipment which makes things look less cluttered visually.  But the second, and somewhat unexpected, benefit was that the sound of the system improved.  We have used a wood rack by another maker for seven or eight years and it seemed fine.  But I think the added weight of the rigidrack has dampened some vibrations/resonances.  We find that the noise floor of the system seems to be lowered resulting in some additional clarity, a bit more extension on the bass, and more depth and detail in the soundstage.  I will certainly recommend your products if the occasion arises.”

“I just want to underscore what my husband has said about our new equipment rack.  And add that it gets the seal of approval from the female in the house.  I give it a WAF Rating of 10!"

Re: rigidrack®

I was looking for something to accommodate my hifi gear and was happy to come across your store.  I was particularly happy to find something that fit both the aesthetic I was looking for and the size specifics of my situation.  The shipping related communication was excellent and everything was received on time.  Packaging was also excellent, as were the materials and fit and finish thereof.  
I am now having fun finding the optimal arrangement of my gear.

Keep up the good work and have a great day!
