Best rack for non-suspension turntable?

I have a Well-Tempered Classic turntable. For those unfamiliar, it does not have any internal suspension.

Does anyone have an opinion about the best type of equipment rack for this kind of table? My options are the Naim Fraim (I have Naim electronics, but the Fraim is obscenely expensive) which is rigid with glass shelves or the Isoblue which is composed of layers of different woods (so I'm told).

The Fraim supposedly is unbeatable with a suspension table like an LP12, but I'm not sure how it would work with a non-suspended table.

Any opinions?

Have you considered, tried, and or compared the Minus K with the Halcyonic shelves?
.
I have been reading/thinking about getting the Minus K for my 150 lb Teres table.

Have you heard a Minus K in your system and done a direct comparison between the Minus K and the Halcyonics ?
.
If not in your system, have you heard both devices compared in the same system at the same time under the same piece of equipment ?

In the $ 6,000.00 range I would pair a Minus K work station with a Silent Running Audio custom platform sitting on top and under the TT. The combination of the two yields phenomenal sound that a rack can not attain.

You do not have your facts straight. You can buy a combination of a Minus K Work Station and an SRA stand for approx $ 7,000.00 (more if you have a heavy table and want to move up to the Ohio Class SRA platform).
.
Have you ever heard the combination of a Minus K and an SRA stand in your system ?
.
Are you a dealer ?
.
For your info, I am not listening to SRA's hype, I am listening to my system with my ears (which work quite well).
