Shelves are trouble.

They reflect sound even if they are internally damped.

An alternative is to make beams that are just large enough to carry the roller-ball supports. Make the beams so the beams and roller-balls can be moved to fit the component. Place the component directly upon the roller-balls unless the component's bottom panel vibration requires a rigid plinth. In this case, make the plinth out of end-grain hardwood butcher block and place a sheet of Deflex rubber between the component and the plinth. Cement stainless steel sheets on the plinth bottom where it will ride on the roller-balls.
