A S3-3 A Audio racks are crucial to every highperformance system. Solidsteel’s brilliantly designed equipment racks, amplifier stands, and speaker stands are key components in S3 Series Audio Racks any high-end audio system. Built to exacting specifications in Italy, they offer an unbeatable combination of effective isolation and sophisticated aesthetics. A Improving upon its prestigious HyperSpike technology, Solidsteel’s S3 Series provides incredibly satisfying sonic performance, rock-solid stability, stellar isolation, and an elegantly modular design. These racks utilize solid, nonwelded aluminum poles. Aluminum is lighter than steel, ridiculously strong, non-magnetic, and an excellent damping material. By eliminating welding, S3 racks also achieve a much higher mass and eliminate resonances that develop in hollow welded posts. And because there are no air cavities, unwanted energy and vibrations cannot seep into your rack. Your components and, most importantly, your music will sound better because of it. SOLIDSTEEL HyperSpike HS Audio Racks When you invest thousands of dollars in heirloom audio equipment, it’s imperative the components sit on shelves worthy of their potential. The audio shelf is in itself a component. Its sonic merits are as equally as important as the design elements. HyperSpike features materials chosen for their respective benefits and overall finish. The larger-size shelves accommodate reference-level gear that may not fit on other purposebuilt shelving. A rubber O-ring system prevents vibration from traveling between components, ensuring everything sounds as it should.

These are the racks on which to place your source components. Each main structural shelf on every S5 model sustains a second shelf that rests on four adjustable Solidsteel cones that are placed into cone-cups inset on the main shelf. This technique results in reference-class isolation as well as significantly increased total shelf mass. Each shelf is not only decoupled from the other, but the most resonant part of the shelf (the center) is effectively removed. Say goodbye to vibration and distortion, and hello to unstinting stability and precise imaging. $2,399 HyperSpike HJ Audio Racks  C $499 B S5-4 S5 Series Audio Racks HyperSpike HJ Series is a three-pillar rack, with materials directly taken from the costlier HyperSpik
