Something to replace glass shelves....


I presently have 1/4 inch glass shelving under four of my 2 channel stereo/home theatre components on wall mounts. I want to put the glass back into my Bello Getti rack and replace it with cast acrylic or maybe carbon graphite. Carbon is very expensive and if I choose 5/16-1/2 inch cast acrylic the price is still pretty good. Even in black with polished edges. Can anyone help out which is better for vibration/resonant control and sound qualities. My components are a power conditioner, belt drive CD player, bluray player and pre processor. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thx in advance.

Thx for help. I did get a quote for a 18x18 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch Cast acrylic in black with polished edges and it is pretty reasonable. I just can't decide if I want clear acrylic and frost edges and put led lighting on back or try the black with frost and run the led light through that. Does anyone know if the gloss black top woth frosted or clear edges works with led light?
@Buconero117, I've dealt with hifipyon sound and they make really good platforms and equipment. I've bought a custom sub platform and cable elevators from them and the engineering is top notch. Pricing is very comparable too. He uses Parka wood and Bubinga wood with several options in quality footers. Maybe I'll get some quotes from him. After shipping and exchange it will probably be the same as the acrylic in pricing. Thx.
@Ebm, which model symposium would you suggest for the shelving? Have you tried the symposium under floorstanding speakers?
