6 Components + A Big Amp: Which rack?


With my entry into analog, the number of components I own has grown. I sold my digital processor for tube preamp with a separate power supply (Sonic Frontiers Line 3). Then I bought a turntable AND a Black Cube phono amp. Add to this, a tuner and a CD player, plus a large 17"w X 22"d amp. My little, old 4-level standesign rack is now too small for all the gadgets I need to isolate/couple. Worse yet, my turntable is on the GROUND. Ugh.

I need really need 6 shelves and a place to put my amp.

I really want to a double wide rack that can accommodate 8 components (2x4) in stead of a 6-component tall rack and an amp stand. However, I'm flexible. Can anyone make some suggestions?

Thanks!

No turntable should be on the same rack with the equipment. The turntable should have a dedicated stand with nothing else on it. Suspension TTs use lightweight rigid stands. Mass-coupled suspensionless use heavy rigid stands.
