Positive Feedback Online has reviewed the Dakota Collection of audio component racks from Audio Elegance (photo). These are custom made from solid hardwood. They feature mass loading compartments and solid brass cone footers.
Reviewer Peter Davey was impressed with the build quality and aesthetics. After going on at some length, he concludes:
I can tell you that this is some of the sturdiest, most aesthetically pleasing audio equipment furniture that I’ve ever come across. I can’t recommend it enough. If you are on the fence and need that last finishing touch of elegance, look no further. Highly recommended.
Read the entire review, then tell me if you can figure out how much they cost. Over 2,200 words about an audio rack and no mention of the price…
There are prices on the website. That handsome little cherry two-shelf record rack is a cool $3,099. Seems kind of steep for storage for 250 or so records or so, or for custom furniture, or for anything.
