How bout that rack!?
Seems that audio and A/V racks lack a showcase thread for idea-starters (Pinterest style) unlike speakers, rooms etc.
Some great room photos don’t reveal enough detail about the racks.
So if you’re game, please show us your components RACK (s)!!!

I KISS (Keep It Simply Stupid) in the interest of modularity for putting everything away when I’m not listening.
GM - Not so pretty at closer look...

Modified Target rack from 1994/95. Removed the second from the bottom shelf to accommodate the giant power amp. Also added a small monitor to use the menus on DVD-A’s and Blu-ray disks.
Really hated removing that shelf. Can’t be undone.

This is a configuration with Android->Burson->PV9->F4->AN and Entecs running. Radio Shack meters on as well.
Rack at left is a Target TT5 from the 90s. Perfect for the Linn table. The others are "amp racks" from Pangea with the 10", 10". 8.75" posts.... I need taller ones you can see the A2s don't have much room above them.. they settle at 154F when running.
Lots of stuff in there..... I just reach behind and select amps and speakers...
See the little box to the left of the Buddah at the upper right corner?... that a B1 in a humidor.
The laptop is folded in that picture. But, there's a ton of DIY stuff in there... Thanks!
The Maggies are in the storage position in there. See the B1K?
Oh, those are just the records on rotation. Real storage is in my home office.
Very 80s print on the wall. 🍸
BTW, the persian rug is part of my configuration. When I listen to the Maggies, I pull them out about four feet from the wall and I know how to place them based on the rug design!
