TV/AV stands


I'm putting together a home theater and was wondering if it really makes a difference in the type of rack you put the TV and center speaker in as well as the other components such as amp, sound processor, dvd player, etc.?
Would glass shelving cause problems with vibrations from the speakers to the other components or disrupt the sound?
Any recommendations on racks for audio/video equipment?
Thanks.

I have a stand alone audio rack and matching TV stand from Tech Craft, Greyish posts with glass shelves and a real nice wire management post in the back. Looks real nice!

sure it doesent have Cherry wood, titanium posts, purpleheart shelves, seizmic bolts and all that, but then again it only cost 600 for both of them, and eveyone who sees them comments on how nice they look. You can get them at Soundtrack Audio (if they have those in your area)

Besides, unless you are loaded with money, $2000 for an AV rack can be better spend on upgrading your equipment

I have 3 subwoofers, ive never had a problem with vibrations.

Im not exactly sure what the issue with the vibrations is. If it doesent make your cd/lp/dvd skip, then whats the point in worrying about it? Its not like the vibrations can throw off 1's 0's or electrons. :)
