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

See if you can source a local carpenter to build exactly what you want. With all the downtime people have had, you could get a really good deal on something made to order. 
Just have them look at what you like, from online, and see what they can do for you. I had a beautiful media stand made with 1" thick maple, with African Padauk inlays ( he did it without asking) and those thick U shaped steel legs for around $375. He'd charge a heck of a lot more nowadays but I was his first, so he uses it in his ads. 

All the best,
Nonoise

@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
