Quadraspire SVT HiFi Racks

What you place your HiFi on will affect its performance. Placing your HiFi on a Quadraspire performance HiFi rack will help reduce resonance, lower the noise floor, and open the soundstage to make your HiFi sound even better.

The SVT is the foundation of Quadraspire's performance line — built around the same 32mm (1.26") curved solid-aluminum columns and solid bamboo-ply shelves as the rest of the SV family, with each shelf rated for up to 80kg (176 lb). It is the rack to choose when the components are conventional component-width and the priority is a clean, resonance-controlled platform across as many tiers as the system needs. Available in 2-5 shelf configurations.

Main Features

Solid Bamboo Ply. Some shelf materials, like glass, resonate and can distort the sound of your system. As a result of extensive testing, Quadraspire uses solid bamboo ply that suppresses vibrations and is also carbon neutral. Available bamboo finishes: Natural, Dark, Cherry, and Black.

Solid Aluminum Columns, 32mm (1.26"). Steel tube can resonate and distort sound. Aluminum has much less resonance, so Quadraspire uses it for all columns and feet — solid, not tubular, to dissipate energy quickly. The SVT's 32mm (1.26") SV columns are available in Black or Matt Silver, in heights of 100mm (3.94"), 140mm (5.51"), 180mm (7.09"), 216mm (8.50"), 256mm (10.08"), and 326mm (12.83").

Designed to Avoid Parallel Lines. Parallel lines on rectangular shelves encourage resonance which can distort sound. Where possible, Quadraspire avoids parallel lines in the same way as most musical instrument designs — curved columns, chamfered shelf edges, intricate machining at every contact point.

80kg (176 lb) per Shelf. Each SVT shelf is rated for up to 80kg (176 lb) of equipment, suitable for the great majority of two-channel components — integrated amplifiers, preamps, streamers, DACs, turntables, phono stages.

Footer Options. The SVT can be specified with spikes, flat feet, or castors, with an optional bronze upgrade for the feet — bronze and brass dissipate vibration in the same way they ring well in musical instruments.

Each rack is built to order. The shelf count is selected at purchase below; the wood finish, column color, footer style, and column height are configured through Quadraspire's Build-and-Price tool, or by speaking with us directly. For deeper shelves to accommodate larger components, see the SVTL. For heavier per-shelf weight ratings, see the SV2T (160kg / 353 lb per shelf) and SV3T (240kg / 529 lb per shelf). Designed and built in England by Quadraspire, since 1995.
