Audio stand needed....Moving main components from mechanical room to listening room


Looking to move my main components out of my mechanical room into my listening room and need some furniture recommendations.  Would be placed on a wall perpendicular to my speakers by a window.  Hoping for something with 3 shelves and about 60" long that can accommodate my audio research pre amp that is about 20-21" deep with cables out the back.  Ideally TT would go on top with 6 components on the lower two shelves, so I need a stand that handles 3 units across each shelf.  I have viewed so many great stands out there that would work but can't locate them now that I need to find one.  Prefer black and understand that I may need to use some anti vibration platters.  I am currently using one on my turntable.  I plan to place my amplifier under my center channel with a separate stand.

Thanks in advance.

Can't get the url from my system to copy over but it is under Woots system if you have time to view.

Salamander makes great stands that are very reasonably priced and you can get them with casters. Have to get casters on stands. 
 

Always been amazed how crazy people are to not use casters for amplifier stands.  Amplifiers don't get impacted by how a stand rests on the floor as long as it's designed with some mass. The other gear you have also should have casters but especially amplifiers.

i have adequate feet underneath my individual components on my rack. The casters underneath the rack are invaluable to an ever-changing landscape where I live.

I have three listening rooms and another room entirely devoted to keep all the boxes I gotta maintain. I Shuffle things around a bit. Underneath one set of speakers I have rubber feet placed on top of square acoustical ceiling tiles that allow me to slide it around when I want to. This is a really cool thing to do.

My amp racks are customized with steel pieces welded together supported by casters. It weighs alot. Ideally it would be nice not to have the casters in a perfect world. But the negligible benefit of not having casters is not perceivable and I don’t care how good you’re hearing is. For your information, my subwoofer is not on casters but on some isoacoustic rubber creations that do have importance because of all the freaking vibrating this thing does.

When you see magico offering a rack for $40,000 you really have to wonder what the hell is going on.

All the isolation specs that you see, does anybody really really really notice a sonic difference. Yeah if you don't isolate the turntable its going to skip around during earthquakes and dance parties and while doing jumping jacks.
