I was looking for a small, inexpensive audio rack for my system at work. The system is comprised of:
Proton 930 Receiver
Micromega Leader CD player
NHT SuperOne speakers
Goertz M1 1 Meter Micropurl interconnect
QED Silver Anniversary flat silver speaker cables
Couldn't find anything that met my criteria for stability, relative size required for a system that sits on my desk, appearence, and cost. This DIY project took bits and pieces of a weekend. The rack itself is 19" wide by 14" deep by 19" high. Cost was around $100:
Three butcher block shelves from Ikea @ $20 each
(2) six foot 5/8" #11 threaded rods at $5 each. Cut in half to make a 18" high rack.
24 5/8" nuts @ .30 each
20 5/8" washers @ .20 each
Three "tip toes "
One can of Tremclad Black HighGloss Spray paint @ $3
Have you thought about going into rack building jeff? I think you would be very good at it. Thats one nice looking rack! with your permission, I'd like to try building one for my 80 pound clear audio champion 2 turn table. I own a mapleshade four shelf samson two rack with 4 inch shelves. It's the best sounding rack I've ever owned, and thats been quite a few.
