Isanchez what is your profession?
Your talk of material fatigue displays an ignorance of structural principles.
Apart from ' metal fatigue' which can occur when metals approach their elastic limits after repeated cycling of loads, there is no material ' fatigue' in structures that I am aware of and certainly not in regards to cantilevered wall shelves.
Tightening screws and bolts has nothing to do with metal fatigue.

Enjoy it,

Stilkin, thanks for the kind words. I recommended a closet because I do think isolation is paramount if not always practical. Do what you can. But you can get too smart and design what you think is just what you need - like me. In my case I designed my solution only 24" wide. Not really wide enough for double arm TT's to be used by clumsy hands the likes of me. Most closets are wider. Sometimes what's at in a normal house is better than custom. You just have to look, or maybe the wall is better after all.

Isanchez,
Do you know what cyclic loadings are?....I doubt it as you fail to answer the question on your qualifications?
And prey tell what 'cyclic loadings' have to do with a cantilevered wall shelf?
Just to dispel your other inaccuracies for any readers who think you actually may know of what you speak.........any 'not so well executed' wall shelf (and can you please describe what you mean by this as I can't even imagine?), will beat hands down, any WELL executed floor mounted stand!

Halcro,

Can you post your comments on any of the threads re: Suspensions & turntable Platforms etc. You have hijacked a few threads on a few forums in this direction. It would be a more appropriate location for your comments. I think the tone here needs to get back to constructive and become relevant to the title of the thread.
