High mass turntable owners -- What Stand?

I'm in need of a stand to support my 100 lb. + Galibier Quattro Turntable. I would like it to have three shelves in addition to the top for the tt.

The stand will sit on a concrete floor. Other than the turntable, my other three pieces of equipment have a combined weight of approximately 30-40 lbs. Thus, the stand will be very top heavy and prone to "wobble".

With the 4" thick maple platform I use for my Galibier, I'm looking at approximately 160 lbs.

I'm not too interested in a DIY design. I have considered a Flexi Rack, I not sure it's massive enough, or laterally stable enough for my purposes.

I have been considering putting my 4" maple platform in a sandbox, so I would probably be looking at a combined weight of at least 300 pounds.

Turntable owners such as: Galibier, Teres, Verdier, Redpoint, Simon Yorke, Schu, etc. what methods of turntable support are you successfully using, and what would you recommend for my needs?

Very much depending on your expense tolerance, I believe that Silent Running Audio's Craz Reference isoRACK plus is the best, and they can make it to your size specs. The owner is Kevin Tellekamp (reportedly, he does isolation work for the U.S. Navy submarines through a sister company which gives him machinery that no audio performance rack maker would generally have access to) and the Sales guy is Tim Miller.

See 7/2006 Mickelson Review in SoundStage. It gives you all of the disclosed technology.
