I think I have an idea what to listen for. And now for something completely different ... I have a Target TT5 component rack (a metal brace with 5 shelfs kind of like the type made by Arcici). I am not at all confident of the wooden shelfs provided for this rack (the shelves vibrate like anything) and have been experimenting with replacing it with other things. I know of the Brassfield isolation shelf but they are pretty expensive at around $500 (and I need 5 of 'em!). I thought perhaps marble slates cut to fit the metal brace would offer an elternative to the wood. Has anyone experimented with anything along these lines?? Thank you for your support. satish nair
