"I wanted something that was durable, looked good, was very easy to work with, and was flexible as far as running wires in the back and provided adequate ventilation."

"This thing [the Vulcan five-shelf rack] is only $219 for a high-end audio rack… Even though the MDF [shelving] is vinyl-wrapped, it's scratch-resistant. It's actually better than some of the finished woods out there, because this vinyl is so tough. If you are moving a component back and forth, I would actually prefer this over a stained wood, because those are a lot more delicate."

"This is a steel post construction that basically twists in. There is a threaded steel bolt that connects each post, and it clamps down. They have these little rubber isolation pads [between shelves]… and that's going to give you less transfer of vibration from shelf to shelf. The posts themselves are powder coated to be resonant-resistant and scratch-resistant, so, again, very durable. There's not really any ring at all whatsoever."

"I really like that attention to detail as far as the durability and all that… It's really hard to find a high-quality audio rack that looks good and is in this price range."

"The build quality is excellent… As far as the strength goes, each shelf supports up to 75 pounds, and the total weight support of this rack is 350 pounds, which is absolutely phenomenal for an open-frame rack, and at this price."

"The modularity is a good selling point… Giving you the ability of customizing it completely is what really sets the Vulcan rack apart, because it's built extremely well, but then you get to customize it, and it's still affordable.

Positive Feedback Magazine Award Winner

Positive Feedback magazine honored the Vulcan with a Writer's Choice Award for 2017. Lamenting the general lack of affordable racks and stands for budget-conscious audiophiles, Steve Lefkowicz notes that "Pangea Audio (sold through Audio Advisor) has taken up the void with a very nice and effective set of racks and stands at very reasonable prices."

According to Steve's review in Positive Feedback, "I used two of these racks in my exhibit at the LA Audio… and they both played great even with the powerful bass of the big Tekton Double Impacts. I added an extra shelf to one and a taller 10-inch extension to one shelf for a total price of just $280 for both racks."
