Re: [DTXpress] Re: DTXpress 3 at my local shop

Actually, I've got a new recommendation for rack systems: The Pacific 
rack. Sturdy, the brushed metal look of the clamps looks way nicer than 
the black Gibraltars, and the racks are pretty lightweight for 
something that sturdy. I'm a huge fan of these racks.
