Any experience w/ better equipment racks?

I have been using a DIY equipment rack for a number of years, but just tried the Stillpoints rack. The improvements was audible and immediate. BUT I can't use it, as my turntable will not fit on the top shelf. I've been looking recently but don't know what to think about the claims and options.

What have you experienced with better equipment racks, and which would you recommend?

I had a Michael Green clamp rack that I used for nine years both as a clamp rack and as a regular rack. It looks a lot like yours, but the shelves were 1" thick and the steel rods were 3/4" thick.

I now have a Sistrum SP-6 from Star Sound Technologies. It made a big difference for the better sonically. To me it was well worth the $1,000.00 price difference from the Michael Green clamp stand.

What is your budget and how many components will the rack support?

why not just place a "big enough" shelf over the stock top shelf?

(of course, you will then have the chance to play around with all of the different ways to couple the new "big enough" top shelf to the old "too small" top shelf...aurios, daruma, tweakaholics are invited to join in here.....)

I love the ParTicular basis rack I'm using. Infinitely adjustable, and when used with Neuance shelves, wonderfully inert.

I couldn't believe how much better the Grand Prix Audio Racks made my system sound when I replaced my homemade racks with them, one of the more major improvments I've heard.
