Hey, so now that I've got some stuff and my desk is cluttered, I've been looking for an audio rack.

I've had some offers, I'm looking for <200 CAD.

Here's what my offers are so far

Bello At-484 - http://www.sjgreatdeals.com/at-484.html (this one is in the best consideration) - 200 CAD, guy says that he paid $500 CAD + tax at bay bloor radio.
Demo LRX5T $199+taxes (very good condition) - (also being considered, less then the bello) - http://www.audioadvisor.org/store/pr...20Audio%20Rack
Demo S230/4 $229+tx (excellent condition) - being least considered, not black.

My main fear atm is whether or not 3 foot / 2 foot interconects will work inbetween the shelves. Any comemnts on this? I.E. reciever on top shelf, and everything below it. Also, which of these will fit a turntable, can the bello fit a turntable at the bottom shelf (which looks like the largest?) Lastly, any recommendations available in Canada for <200 CAD or less (not from Walmart or Ikea as I've already checked those), are greatly appreciated. If you have anything, PM me.

Need a rack, width of bookshelf is out of the question, and I want something that can fit a lot of audio crap.

I've really my five shelf Sanus Systems audio rack. It's got good vibration isolation and control, neutral design aesthetics, and should fall within your price range. https://www.sanus.com/products/furniture/furniture.html The website has a form for locating a dealer in your area.

I really had to bite the bullit when I bought it. I thought it was expensive too.
But I was able to get a discount from a website called av-reference.
I don't work for these guys or anything like that.

The guy was quoting me a price plus delivery which was close to how much I would pay at a store. I asked if I could pick it up in person, so I saved $50 dollars on delivery.

The stand looks really nice, it could support around 300 lbs. The top and bottom shelf is made out of real wood. I bought it with the saturn wheel option so that I can move my headphone setup room to room.

I definitely don't regret buying this one. It has very high quality parts and will last forever.

Or you could build yourself one -

TNT Flexy rack - Very, very easy to build, though you do need few tools. I built one with four legs, though I think one with three legs would be easier to level.

Couple of threads on building rack from IKEA Lack end tables.
