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.

Sound Anchors, and they can do custom. The entire rack itself is an antivibration device. Good price/performance value and built like a tank.

Gestalt Audio is a distributor/seller.

@woots, I think we are talking about the same thing as the Sound Anchors products do the exact same thing and 'send' the vibrations of your rig all the way down to the tips of the metal spikes screwed in the bottom of the component stand  to the conecoasters and then to the floor. Everything has a vibration, especially electrical mechanical components turned on.  

@emergingsoul,

The other gear you have also should have casters but especially amplifiers.

I don’t think you mean ’casters’ as they are wheels and that’s a tough thing to pull off trying to attach a wheel to an amp or other components . I think you meant something like Vibrapod Cones? But I do agree that casters or wheels are perfect for attaching to the bottom of the component stand for ease of use and getting to the back of the rack/component stand when making changes and adjustments. Especially if the rack is one vertical piece of shelves. Which makes said rack very heavy indeed.

 

@roxy54 , I try to be civil when having discussions here. Of course I understand casters or wheels aren’t as anti vibration as spikes and metal coasters. Not everyone has the luxury of having sufficient room as you may have for an audio rack. Some folks have small listening rooms and really don’t care about anti vibration. But of course you knew that right? @emergingsoul brought up casters/wheels, not me. But you probably have spikes on wooden floors, right?

+1 @emergingsoul, my Sound Anchors five shelves vertical rack also has welded pieces as one unit for anti vibration and with the weight of all the gear and the rack  it really is a lot of weight and I have no problem using casters/wheels also. Ahh the subs, I haven’t got around to putting aftermarket footers on my subs, yet...Thanks for reminding me of that tweak.
