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.

Here is my recommendation. I have had one of their vertical racks for 14 years, and I am very satisfied. They look good in a domestic setting, and they perform well and are very adjustable

I will amend my first recommendation. What @arafiq  recommended, live vibe, is vastly superior sonically to Adona. I've wanted their speaker stands and component supports, and they are the real deal. I didn't mention them, because they are expensive, but looking at your system, you have a lot invested, and there is no question that you would hear a big difference in sound quality for the better.

I agree with @lalitk that core makes beautiful racks, but I still think that if ultimate performance is your goal, Live Vibe is the best choice. They are actually the opposite of anti-vibration. They allow speakers and components to vibrate as they will, and they then quickly drain that vibrations ground, and the results are stunning.

My apologies. I went overboard in my criticism of casters. I do realize that in some situations they may be needed, and I apologize for being coarse about it. 

I know that Salamander makes a lot of different racks and configurations, but I don't think that they can really be called a serious audiophile performance brand, but more of an upscale lifestyle brand.

"There you go again!" as the late Ronald Reagan used to say. As usual, you say the opposite of what is true, and then call people who do the right thing crazy.

Using casters on an equipment rack is absolutely the worst thing that you could do. They move, they are unstable and they don't aid in draining vibrational energy.

@tyray 

Emergingsoul meant putting amos on racks with casters, and you're just as wrong as he is. Casters are bad if good sound is your priority. You say it makes moving convenient when making gear changes. How about placing it with sufficient room behind it to begin with like most other people do?

What I'm saying is that for that amount of money you could buy a stand with adjustable shelves that were made of materials that are better for audio purposes.
