Rack : I need your help

Hi,

I'd like to order a rack like this: an horizontal surface 145x45 cm with two side vertical to it surfaces 120x45 cm.
I hope you can imagine it.
I will put two very heavy turntables on it, with their motor units separate from the turntables.
I need a material sonically neutral and resistant.
I think that solid wood is better than mdf, but much heavier.
Which wood is the best choice?
Any advice is welcome, thank you.

Finally, I ordered the rack from Steve Blinn. He seems to be a very nice person, he has answered to all my questions, which were too many..
I' ll let you know about my impressions for the rack when I'll get it.

Thank you for your advices. I've talked to several manufacturers and each of them had a different approach.
The most serious are:
1) baltic birch plywood 3" for all the construction
2) solid wood skeleton and thick 30mm glass (with a inner membrane) on it
3) aluminum skeleton and either solid wood or sandwitch mdf on it

Any oppinions?
