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

appreciate the response. i don't have any floor issues (concrete under carpet) and my tables are in flight cases on their own very heavy and stable unit between the speakers. i use an old bookshelf off to the side in its own little "nook" area for the amp and a couple of other sources, so i imagine they're pretty isolated from any sound waves you'd get between the speakers. but even if no audible improvements i would like to be able to pull the shelf out easily and swap/plug in different gear without it being a whole ordeal. would very much prefer to do this without spending like a thousand dollars.

as far as preferring farm girl racks goes...no comment 
@ebm i would love to discuss your florida opportunity in private. happy to provide my ss# if necessary 

@patrickdowns i am leaning towards the salamander stuff, but wow, this mapleshade stuff is awful pretty. appreciate it.
@nonoise a custom job would be ideal. yours sounds wonderful. i heard wood is pretty pricy at the moment. probably worth asking around before i buy something premade though, you're right.

@ebm oh no you were joking? now i feel foolish. please disregard the private message i sent. the one with the account/routing info


appreciate all the recs - i hit up my cousin who does woodworking and he said i'm going to be paying a lot more for materials right now. he wouldn't be able to do anything til winter anyway because it's his busy season. a new rack isn't really a necessity for me but it would be nice - i'll probably just bide my time for now
