Luis thanks for the response. I just may do it, especially at that price point. Paul
I purchased 3 of those Pangea racks a few years back. I then tore them apart and pieced them back together to make two taller units. I gave one to one of my brothers in his system, I have the other one, except I made mine even a little taller by purchasing and installing the 10" posts and X-brace kit so I could fit that big 75 lbs Emotiva amp in the rack with plenty of breathing room. Though now the amp is on a couple of white quartz slabs on the floor in the front of the room.
I’m going to purchase another rack in the near future as I get the rest of my analog rig up and running.
In short, they’re rather decent racks for the money. I have no complaints with them. I ordered mine through Audio Advisor.
I use the X-Brace version that provides better support for very little extra money.
Like Chops, I customized it with longer 10" posts, drawer, etc.
File this under further madness related to vibration control for the “vibration measuring machine” AKA turntable. Some tweaks are not too costly and return reasonable dividends.
The main objective is to raise the structure’s natural frequency so that the other vibration mitigation elements can do their job more effectively.
That is not madness! A great solution. When I had my turntable it was in the family room that sits over a usable crawl space. I built 2x4 shelving down there floor to ceiling. It created two additional beams with about 8 columns (joist span is 16’). A very stiff floor. In addition, I mounted my turntable to the wall with lots of heavy maple to support it. The system was stable and just not impacted by large vibrations…including doors slamming.
These images show the previous round of vibration isolation for the TT. I’ve been accused of being a bit obsessive. Crazy for an audiophile right?
Clear away some of that stuff in the basement and that vibration device could double as a stripper pole, just say’n.
I had to install a Solidsteel wall shelf to eliminate vibrations from my floor joists and wooden floors so not crazy. Considered the supports from the basement but I would need to many stripper poles. 
Expanded on the system today…
Another five shelf Pangea rack
Technics SL-1700 MKII Turntable
Azden GX-50 Equalizer
Nakamichi DR-1 Cassette Deck
dbx 400x Active Program Route Selector
dbx 224x Noise Reduction
It looks great and with room to grow. What’s next?
Congrats
dbx!!!
Thank you!
I still want to find a nice CD player of sorts. Something vintage but also quality that has a digital out. Maybe even a somewhat vintage quality DAC to go with it.
Plus, I still have three other cassette decks, a Nakamichi 582 (which is entirely way too wide to fit on any typical audio rack unless it goes on the very top shelf), a JVC KD-A8 and a Yamaha K-1020, both of which need to be gone through, or at least get some new belts.
The 582 is 100% functional. Other than that, all three decks are completely mint cosmetically. Well, quite honestly, ALL of the gear I have is absolutely mint. No matter how old the gear is, it all looks brand new, as you can see in the pics.
Oh, and I also need to get a new lid for the turntable as the original is a bit scratched up from a cat we had many many years ago that used to jump/climb up on it all the time back when my father still had it in his system.
Yes! It’s what I grew up with from my father and brothers, so if it was good enough for them, it’s good enough for me. I have a second 400x route selector as well as a first generation 224 noise reduction unit. Again, all absolutely mint.
I once (years ago when I could afford none of it) lusted after a complicated, multi-box system consisting of various and sundry dbx noise reduction and processing units, tape decks, etc.
Fast forward, and now my focus is on digital media and sources, and seeking the quietest (minimal carrying and introduction of noise of any kind) signal chain I can afford.
I guess “noise reduction” never goes out of audio-style.
Enjoy.
I have to say, I gave the analogue side of the system a quick run through last night, and the system is completely silent in operation. The only noise heard is some slight tape hiss. Zero hum or buzz or anything.
BTW, the Azden EQ is not in the signal chain at all. I only have the input connected to it just to get the “pretty light show” going on the display. 
Great idea where did you get the sponge holders!
He has trained you well indeed!
We have a cat who loves ribbons, especially chewing them, so Nordost speaker cables in the house. A friend wanted me try his Tyr II cables and we had to relocate the cat.
We had a cat which decided to chew a ball of string. All very sad he didn’t survive. Be careful!
