Using black oxide thread rods to make my rack with. Still a work in progress, so no pics yet.
I used this idea. Looks good, can be removed in two seconds when necessary, and cheap enough to throw away if you change height and need longer pieces. Many diameters available. And it doesn't look like foam unless you're looking very up close. Some have printing on the outside, avoid those obviously. Also has many other uses around the house you won't even think of until you do. I use it on the sharp front edge of my laptop to cushion my wrists, for example.at the plumbing section of a hardware store they have sponge foam insulation hose. It's for water pipes. It comes in many diameters. It is slit along the length so that you could apply it to a finished rack. Just cut to length. It's really inexpensive.
A fine option aesthetically. Thin MDF or masonite is unobtrusive; sprayed black it kind of disappears — while a nice veneer (easy to apply to such small pieces) can give the entire rack the look of fine cabinetry.'U' shaped pieces wood that just slide over the threaded rod and nuts.
I also used this method and even gave mine a coat of black spray paint. Another plus for the foam is you don't have to worry about the foam scratching the electronics when moving gear around to change interconnects.I used this idea.

And two lengths under a turntable provide very effective isolation — or any other component, though power amps may be too heavy. Costs almost nothing compared to other isolation devices.
