DIY Stereo Rack


I want to build a music system rack but get a headache after trying to chose what route to go. Is the hardest densest wood like ash or walnut best. Or something softer? I was thinking of using countertop cement for shelves. My thinking being the harder it is the easier vibrations transfer. Cement being not so dense may not transfer vibrations so readily. If styrofoam was stronger why not use blocks of it for super vibration isolation? Thanks for any insight you can provide. Bob

Ketchup, great stand. Both the process and the result must be very satisfying.

I agree that the hardwood shelving and threaded rod approach seems one of the most easily built, cost effective, practical, vibration free options. I was going to go this route, however got a budget Target stand which I filled with sand (took a long time as sand was poured through the threaded spike holes) and replaced the plywood shelves with 2” maple.
