You choose a height, you live with it, and when the system grows you start again. The Vulcan was drawn the other way round. Steel tubes thread onto rods by hand, shelves clamp between them, and another level goes on whenever you want one — up to six.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eIt has been made this way long enough to be recognized for it. Positive Feedback gave the Vulcan line a Writers’ Choice Award in 2017, and the rack has changed very little since, because the design was right the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWill It Take Your Whole System?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003ePut a Heavy Amp on Any Shelf\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eEvery shelf carries 75 pounds, and that figure is the same whether it is the bottom level or the one under the top. There is no weak shelf to plan around, so the heaviest box in your system goes wherever the cable runs are shortest rather than wherever the rack allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eSwap the Posts, Change the Clearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe rack ships with 7.25 inches of clear height between the upper shelves and 8.75 inches above the bottom one. That gap is set by the posts, and posts come out. Fit the 10-inch set and a tall tube amplifier has room; fit the 5.25-inch set and a slim streamer stops wasting the space above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eEach shelf is 23.75 inches wide and 18 inches deep, but measure your widest component against the 19.4 inches clear between the side supports. That is the figure that decides, not the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eAdd a Level Whenever the System Grows\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThis is the reason to buy a Vulcan rather than something cheaper. An add-on shelf arrives as one part with its four posts already in the box, so a three-shelf rack becomes a four without a second order. Turn the rack upside down, add the level from the bottom, set it back on its feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eSix shelves is the ceiling, and the same threads accept storage drawers, rolling casters and an LP shelf that holds a hundred records.

Holding still is a question of how stiff the frame is once together, and the Vulcan is stiffer than flat-pack racks usually manage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWhat Makes It Stiff Enough to Stay Still\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eEach steel support tube has a threaded rod running down the middle of it. Tightening the rod pulls the tubes and the shelf between them into one clamped column rather than a stack of parts resting on each other. That is why it does not develop a wobble after a month.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eSpikes That Bite, Discs That Protect\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eCone-point feet with adjustable steel spikes couple the rack through carpet to the floor underneath and level it on boards that are never quite flat. Four Mini Sonic Saucers come in the box so the spikes can be used on wood or tile without marking either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eNothing Here Traps the Heat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe frame is open on all four sides, which is something no closed cabinet can offer. Heat leaves a warm component through its top and its flanks, and on a Vulcan neither route is blocked by a panel or a door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe post system helps here too. A warm-running amplifier can be given a 10-inch gap while a thin streamer sits in a shorter one, rather than every component getting the same clearance whether it needs it or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eNo Tools. About Fifteen Minutes.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eNothing in the box needs a screwdriver, a wrench or a hex key. The threaded rods hide inside the support tubes, and you turn the tubes by hand until each shelf is clamped. Most people have the whole rack standing in about a quarter of an hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eSet the spikes before any gear goes on. Leveling is much easier with empty shelves, and getting it right at the start saves lifting a loaded rack to reach a foot later on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003ePick the Finish That Disappears Into Your Room\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eBlack, Rosenut, Espresso and Carbon Fiber, all on the same steel frame.

built one and loaded it before judging it. “Once assembled the rack was incredibly sturdy,” he wrote, adding that it “showed no signs of flex or wobble when shifting the weight around which was critical for me.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eSteve Lefkowicz gave the Vulcan line a Writers’ Choice Award in the 14th Annual Positive Feedback Writers’

The standard Vulcan add-on shelf uses 7\" posts, giving you about 7\" of clearance between shelves.

The standard add-on shelf uses 7\" posts, giving you about 7\" of clearance between shelves. This one uses 5.25\" posts, giving you about 5\" of clearance. The shelf itself is identical. Pick this one if your new gear is short — streamers, DACs, slim phono preamps. Pick the 7\" version for taller gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill my gear fit under 5.25\"?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost modern slim components do. Streamers (like a Bluesound Node) are typically 2.5–3\" tall. Many DACs and phono preamps are 1.5–3\" tall. Slim integrateds and headphone amps usually fit too. Tall tube amps and big AV receivers won't — for those, get the 7\" or 10\" post versions instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this fit my Vulcan X-Brace rack?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The X-Brace rack needs a matching X-Brace add-on shelf with the side crossmembers. Adding a non-X-Brace shelf to an X-Brace rack would skip the bracing on that level and weaken the rigidity. Give us a call at 800-942-0220 and we'll point you to the right X-Brace shelf kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I install it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePretty simple. Flip your rack upside down. Unscrew the rack's existing feet from the bottom posts. Bolt the new posts onto the bottom of the rack. Set the new shelf on the new posts. Reattach the feet. Flip the rack back upright. Done — about 5 minutes total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I add it somewhere other than the bottom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but it takes a little more work. To add a shelf in the middle of the rack, you'll need to partially disassemble the upper section, slide the new shelf in, and rebuild. It's still tool-less, just a bit more handling. The bottom is always the easiest spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to match the finish to my existing shelves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot technically — but most folks want a matching look. We carry this shelf in all four standard Vulcan finishes (Black, Carbon Fiber, Rosenut, Espresso) so you can match exactly. If your rack uses an older finish that's been retired, give us a call and we'll see what we can find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many shelves can my rack hold total?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to six total. So a 4-shelf rack can grow to six. A 3-shelf can grow to six. Just keep total stand height under about 42\" for best rigidity. If you're already maxed out, we can help you plan around that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I mix 5.25\" and 7\" post heights on the same rack?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. That's actually a smart way to use your rack space. Use shorter posts for slim gear, taller posts for amps and receivers. The threaded connections are the same, so they all work together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre returns easy if it doesn't fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

The standard add-on shelf uses 7\" posts, giving you about 7\" of clearance between shelves. This one uses 5.25\" posts, giving you about 5\" of clearance. The shelf itself is identical. Pick this one if your new gear is short — streamers, DACs, slim phono preamps. Pick the 7\" version for taller gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill my gear fit under 5.25\"?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost modern slim components do. Streamers (like a Bluesound Node) are typically 2.5–3\" tall. Many DACs and phono preamps are 1.5–3\" tall. Slim integrateds and headphone amps usually fit too. Tall tube amps and big AV receivers won't — for those, get the 7\" or 10\" post versions instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this fit my Vulcan X-Brace rack?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The X-Brace rack needs a matching X-Brace add-on shelf with the side crossmembers. Adding a non-X-Brace shelf to an X-Brace rack would skip the bracing on that level and weaken the rigidity. Give us a call at 800-942-0220 and we'll point you to the right X-Brace shelf kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I install it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePretty simple. Flip your rack upside down. Unscrew the rack's existing feet from the bottom posts. Bolt the new posts onto the bottom of the rack. Set the new shelf on the new posts. Reattach the feet. Flip the rack back upright. Done — about 5 minutes total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I add it somewhere other than the bottom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but it takes a little more work. To add a shelf in the middle of the rack, you'll need to partially disassemble the upper section, slide the new shelf in, and rebuild. It's still tool-less, just a bit more handling. The bottom is always the easiest spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to match the finish to my existing shelves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot technically — but most folks want a matching look. We carry this shelf in all four standard Vulcan finishes (Black, Carbon Fiber, Rosenut, Espresso) so you can match exactly. If your rack uses an older finish that's been retired, give us a call and we'll see what we can find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many shelves can my rack hold total?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to six total. So a 4-shelf rack can grow to six. A 3-shelf can grow to six. Just keep total stand height under about 42\" for best rigidity. If you're already maxed out, we can help you plan around that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I mix 5.25\" and 7\" post heights on the same rack?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. That's actually a smart way to use your rack space. Use shorter posts for slim gear, taller posts for amps and receivers. The threaded connections are the same, so they all work together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre returns easy if it doesn't fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

It is quite simply the best copper on the planet.\" \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pangea Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45983150178477,"sku":"NEW-PGNPC8-XL","price":399.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3708\/1773\/files\/pgnpc8xl-large__25917.1724352918.1280.1280_aab1f942-b1b1-4118-80c9-28a4a4f5c47e.jpg?v=1778131249"},{"product_id":"pangea-audio-premier-usb-cable-usb-a-to-usb-b-3-0-meter","title":"Pangea Audio Premier USB Cable - USB-A to USB-B - 3.0 Meter","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"max-width:720px;margin:0 auto;padding:32px 24px 48px 24px;background:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:0 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003ePremier Is Pangea's Entry to Audiophile USB\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003ePangea Audio's Premier is the company's entry-level USB cable.

The standard add-on shelf uses 7\" posts, giving you about 7\" of clearance between shelves. This one uses 5.25\" posts, giving you about 5\" of clearance. The shelf itself is identical. Pick this one if your new gear is short — streamers, DACs, slim phono preamps. Pick the 7\" version for taller gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill my gear fit under 5.25\"?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost modern slim components do. Streamers (like a Bluesound Node) are typically 2.5–3\" tall. Many DACs and phono preamps are 1.5–3\" tall. Slim integrateds and headphone amps usually fit too. Tall tube amps and big AV receivers won't — for those, get the 7\" or 10\" post versions instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this fit my Vulcan X-Brace rack?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The X-Brace rack needs a matching X-Brace add-on shelf with the side crossmembers. Adding a non-X-Brace shelf to an X-Brace rack would skip the bracing on that level and weaken the rigidity. Give us a call at 800-942-0220 and we'll point you to the right X-Brace shelf kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I install it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePretty simple. Flip your rack upside down. Unscrew the rack's existing feet from the bottom posts. Bolt the new posts onto the bottom of the rack. Set the new shelf on the new posts. Reattach the feet. Flip the rack back upright. Done — about 5 minutes total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I add it somewhere other than the bottom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but it takes a little more work. To add a shelf in the middle of the rack, you'll need to partially disassemble the upper section, slide the new shelf in, and rebuild. It's still tool-less, just a bit more handling. The bottom is always the easiest spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to match the finish to my existing shelves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot technically — but most folks want a matching look. We carry this shelf in all four standard Vulcan finishes (Black, Carbon Fiber, Rosenut, Espresso) so you can match exactly. If your rack uses an older finish that's been retired, give us a call and we'll see what we can find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many shelves can my rack hold total?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to six total. So a 4-shelf rack can grow to six. A 3-shelf can grow to six. Just keep total stand height under about 42\" for best rigidity. If you're already maxed out, we can help you plan around that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I mix 5.25\" and 7\" post heights on the same rack?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. That's actually a smart way to use your rack space. Use shorter posts for slim gear, taller posts for amps and receivers. The threaded connections are the same, so they all work together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre returns easy if it doesn't fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Tightening the rod pulls the tubes and the shelf between them into one clamped column rather than a stack of parts resting on each other. That is why it does not develop a wobble after a month.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eSpikes That Bite, Discs That Protect\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eCone-point feet with adjustable steel spikes couple the rack through carpet to the floor underneath and level it on boards that are never quite flat.

The standard add-on shelf uses 7\" posts, giving you about 7\" of clearance between shelves. This one uses 5.25\" posts, giving you about 5\" of clearance. The shelf itself is identical. Pick this one if your new gear is short — streamers, DACs, slim phono preamps. Pick the 7\" version for taller gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill my gear fit under 5.25\"?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost modern slim components do. Streamers (like a Bluesound Node) are typically 2.5–3\" tall. Many DACs and phono preamps are 1.5–3\" tall. Slim integrateds and headphone amps usually fit too. Tall tube amps and big AV receivers won't — for those, get the 7\" or 10\" post versions instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this fit my Vulcan X-Brace rack?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The X-Brace rack needs a matching X-Brace add-on shelf with the side crossmembers. Adding a non-X-Brace shelf to an X-Brace rack would skip the bracing on that level and weaken the rigidity. Give us a call at 800-942-0220 and we'll point you to the right X-Brace shelf kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I install it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePretty simple. Flip your rack upside down. Unscrew the rack's existing feet from the bottom posts. Bolt the new posts onto the bottom of the rack. Set the new shelf on the new posts. Reattach the feet. Flip the rack back upright. Done — about 5 minutes total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I add it somewhere other than the bottom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but it takes a little more work. To add a shelf in the middle of the rack, you'll need to partially disassemble the upper section, slide the new shelf in, and rebuild. It's still tool-less, just a bit more handling. The bottom is always the easiest spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to match the finish to my existing shelves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot technically — but most folks want a matching look. We carry this shelf in all four standard Vulcan finishes (Black, Carbon Fiber, Rosenut, Espresso) so you can match exactly. If your rack uses an older finish that's been retired, give us a call and we'll see what we can find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many shelves can my rack hold total?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to six total. So a 4-shelf rack can grow to six. A 3-shelf can grow to six. Just keep total stand height under about 42\" for best rigidity. If you're already maxed out, we can help you plan around that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I mix 5.25\" and 7\" post heights on the same rack?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. That's actually a smart way to use your rack space. Use shorter posts for slim gear, taller posts for amps and receivers. The threaded connections are the same, so they all work together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre returns easy if it doesn't fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Maybe a cleaning cloth or two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRight now, that pile is on the floor. Or in a junk drawer in the kitchen. Or scattered on the couch.

That's plenty of room for stylus brushes, record clamps, stylus cleaning fluid, USB drives, spare RCA cables, AV remotes, headphone adapters, and similar small accessories. Big remotes (universal\/learning models) usually fit, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the power cord hole for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt lets you run a power cable through the back of the drawer. So you can stash a phone charger, a Bluetooth dongle, a small wall-wart power supply — anything that needs to stay plugged in while it lives in the drawer. Out of sight, still working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Duo Drawer fit my Vulcan X-Brace rack?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePangea's official compatibility list mentions the standard Vulcan Audio Rack and the Vulcan TT Turntable Stand. The X-Brace rack uses the same shelf mounting system, so it should fit, but we'd recommend calling us at 800-942-0220 to confirm before you order — better to check than to be surprised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I install it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePretty simple. Remove the shelf above where you want the drawer. Slide the steel side supports over the existing threaded rods of your rack. Set the shelf back in place and hand-tighten the side tubes. That's it. About 10 minutes, no tools needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it come in finishes other than black?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Duo Drawer is only available in matte black. The black wraps the drawer face, so it looks clean against any of the four Vulcan shelf finishes (Black, Carbon Fiber, Rosenut, and Espresso).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the drawer slide all the way out?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost. Thanks to the triple-slider bracket, you can reach nearly the entire depth of the drawer when it's pulled open. So nothing gets stuck or forgotten in the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does it hold up over time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drawer body is dense MDF wrapped in tough vinyl that resists scratches, scuffs, and most spills. The slides are metal ball-bearings — built for thousands of pulls. With normal use, it should last as long as your rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre returns easy if it doesn't fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Audio Advisor offers a 60-day money-back guarantee. If it's not right for your setup, send it back. Just keep the original packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- ====================================================== --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION 3K: WHY BUY FROM AUDIO ADVISOR                  --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- ====================================================== --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Audio Advisor?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-titlebox-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f3b5.svg\" alt=\"music note emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003e40+ Years of Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e — Since 1981, we've helped over a million music lovers find the right gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f504.svg\" alt=\"repeat emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003e60-Day Money-Back Guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e — Try it, listen, and make sure it's right for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f4de.svg\" alt=\"phone emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eReal Experts, Real Help\u003c\/strong\u003e — Our team is here to answer your questions at \u003ca href=\"tel:8009420220\"\u003e800-942-0220\u003c\/a\u003e, weekdays 9am–6pm EST.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f69a.svg\" alt=\"truck emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eFree Shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e — This product may also qualify for free shipping to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pangea Audio","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45983522226349,"sku":"NEW-PGVDRDUO-BLK","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3708\/1773\/files\/PGVDR_1-DUOBLK-Large__74674.1701710774.1280.1280_41aac26f-c32e-49fd-a700-12477cb5c250.jpg?v=1778125522"},{"product_id":"pangea-audio-vulcan-penta-5-75-inch-deep-storage-drawer-black","title":"Pangea Audio Vulcan Penta 5.75-Inch Deep Storage Drawer - Black","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAdd a 5.75\"-High Media Storage Drawer to Your Vulcan Audio Rack or Turntable Stand\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003ePangea Audio thought of everything!

The ample 5.75” height was chosen so that the drawer can store up to 80 CDs.
