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

If your floor flexes, if you place your gear between your speakers,
if you use a Turntable, Then yes the shelving matters. 

I went all out at Walmart for $139 three shelf & TV mount!

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
