. Can a well constructed plant table provide the same isolation as an audio rack??

I am getting tired at looking at my vertical audio rack which is a Sanus 4 shelf rack.  Audio  racks often make it difficult to hook up components and also clean them.

I once used a sturdy plant table that was about 51 inches long .I realize that such a table has to be at least 18 inches wide and waist high. Large power amps ( 65lbs) can always be placed on an amp stand under the table if their weight will warp the table top

Not looking for a  piece of  stylish component furniture which can be equally difficult to clean and can cost  $2000-$3000 plus.

Recommendations needed

Thank you

S.J.

I just received two custom made wood racks from a small South Carolina company called
Custom Racks They are made of seriously thick maple and walnut. The cost for each was about $1900 dollars. They are quite heavy and extremely rigid. The vibration transfer is extremely low. These have been the best improvement to my system EVER. I suggest that you talk with Mike at Custom Racks listed here on Audiogon under furniture. They can
pretty much custom make exactly what you want.

FYI, I have no connection with this company.

Tennis balls, cut in half, can offer a surprising amount of isolation in some instances. Place three or four under the component. Try them "upside down" or "right side up". They have worked for me, but as usual YMMV.
