Looking For High Quality Equipment Rack

I'm going to move soon and I'll take the opportunity to make some changes to my system. I want to focus first upon upgrading my equipment rack. Currently using a Target ProXL. It's a metal frame with glass shelves which I've supplemented with a few BDR shelves, 1/2" thick glass, rubber mats and vibrapods. I'm looking for a less haphazard, more rational approach to resonance dissipation and control.

I'm considering the following:

Arcici Suspense - http://www.arcici.net/

Sistrum 6 Shelf - http://www.audiopoints.com/multiplatforms.HTML

Grand Prix 5 Shelf Lemans - http://www.grandprixaudio.com/lemans.html

Mapleshade 3 Shelf Samson (2) - http://www.mapleshaderecords.com/tweaks/samson.html

Immedia E&T Spider - http://www.immediasound.com/ComponentStands.html

The rack will sit on a hard wood floor in the same room as the loudspeakers. The turntable will not be place upon the new rack. I'd prefer a single rack (5 shelf minimum), but I'd also consider two 3 shelf racks. I'm looking for anybody's experience and comments. Feel free to recommend any other brands too.

Thanks to all.

Resonance transfer can be completed on hardwood or tile with the addition of Sistrum APCD discs under the Audiopoint attached to the bottom of each vertical pillar of a Sistrum rack or platform. This disc is designed to be a collector on one side and a transfer distribution device that comes in direct contact with the previously mentioned hard surfaces on the other side. These devices are the best available... Lead free, no rubber, no dampening to impede or mask , only the pedal to the metal so as to hear all the real things. These devices increase the efficiency of all devices placed on them, unlike the race car rack with high mass shelves and shock absorbing grommets which collect and store. Where does this stored energy go? Back into the shelf directly under the component. There is no high speed pathway provided for the captured energy to exit!! Sistrum qualifies above and beyond all mentioned criteria. Tom
