About the DIY TNT Flexy

The DIY TNT Flexy Stand is a customizable audiophile rack designed to isolate and damp vibrations from external sources such as loudspeakers. It features multiple shelves that can be independently damped and isolated, with micrometric height adjustment for each shelf. The rack is constructed using threaded steel rods as legs, with shelves typically made from materials like MDF, bamboo, or marble. The design emphasizes vibration damping by allowing vibrations to be absorbed as they pass through the rack structure, rather than relying on rigidity. Assembly involves cutting holes in the shelves for the rods, applying damping coatings on the underside of shelves, and using rubber and metal washers with nuts to secure the shelves. The legs are often finished with spikes to enhance isolation. The rack is praised for its low cost, functional design, and aesthetic appeal, with many users building it themselves as a DIY project. Variations include using different shelf materials and adding sand-filled shelves for additional mass and damping. The design is open and encourages customization to suit individual needs and preferences.
