    I am having a clear out, and my small 2-up 2-down doesn't have room for a hifi rack I don't use anymore (An SB3 and a pint-size DAC do not a rack require). So, what is for sale is the original Tonne Control rack and an almost matching amp table. I say almost, because the welding shop made an error with the amp table and it is deeper than the main rack, but I do have a piece of material that allows them to stack.

    The technical side of it: Tonne Control was my DIY/Custom rack project. You might guess from the name, it was about lots of weight. The frame and amp table are made from steel - front uprights are 50mm outside diameter, rear 25mm OD and the cross-members are 16mm solid bar. The uprights are sand-filled in the main rack frame (and the amp table can be also), which makes them very inert (don't ring or vibrate). The main rack frame has SuperSpike feet, the amp table has regular spikes. The main rack is painted blue, the amp table is unpainted. No shelves are included, but I used 30mm thick granite, sitting on inner tubes (I'll throw those in if wanted!). I suggest granite chopping boards or concrete slabs for reasonably priced, weighty shelves. This worked very well indeed, much like a Townshend Seismic sink. The rack is immensely strong... unless solid concrete your floor will probably give way first.

    Some pictures:

    Main rack and amp table. The idea was that the S300 would sit on the top shelf of the rack and the TV above, but that put the TV too high and the S300 too hot.

    Collection/meet in huddersfield/oldham area, manchester hifi show or I can get it to gloucester/cheltenham areas.
