Rack recommendations

i'm in the market for a rack. would prefer about 5-6 shelves, with wheels. i've looked at Pangaea, VTI, Salamander online. local dealers carry the latter. i just want something that's 1) deep enough for my amplifier and 2) relatively easy to move around (hence wheels)

are there other brands at similar price points that i'm missing? also, in your experience, do racks even make a difference to the sound? i'm a little skeptical but willing to be educated

LOL Farm Girl is a peach. She could just stand there and hold equipment or gear. That would FINE for me... :-)

She is a pretty good Lumber Jackie too. Watch her throw an Axe.

Butcher block, 24" x 60" x 1.5" about 250.00 or so.. per tier. No mad skills needed. Just a good power saw and a way to drill holes and tighten threaded pipe.. Use 3/4 black iron shellaced. It will hold up 1/2 ton with 6 supports. Add spring loaded dollies on the bottom.

If you want 30" wide use 4 3/4 supports and split the 60" wide x 24 deep (cut that down easy enough to 18-20-22)

It will still ONLY hold what ever the dollies will support.. THICK dampened shelves. Pour lead shot or fill the legs with DRY cultured sand.. QUIET is the word.. OP.. Spring loaded tool box casters.. Some have shocks too..

I’ve hung a few things the same way. Use threaded pipe hung over a couple ceiling joist. Wire goes through the pipe.. I used Mylar and 3M Hi Tack to make it all pretty.. Art Deco patina.. on the cheap.
