Sturdy Turntable Stand


I am looking for a very sturdy turntable rack or stand, preferably with a couple shelves below the turntable top shelf. I've seen a couple expensive ones. Any solid ideas that don't cost $3K or more?

Yep
Build your own as I did as I was saddened by the prices being asked.
4 lengths of all thread rod, a number of nuts and washers and 4 pieces of 2 inch thick maple 24x18.
One drill, couple wrenches, couple hours and all done.
Infinitely variable shelf height, level any shelf in seconds.
Cost?
$300 max.
Right. That is pretty much what I did. DIY.
Next step up from what uberwaltz built, incorporate a sand bed into the shelf the turntable will sit on. Next step up from that would be what I did, cast the shelves from concrete with a sand bed cast into them. With a granite machinists plate on top its massive and stable and near impervious to footfalls and other vibrations. http://www.theanalogdept.com/images/spp6_pics/C_miller_web/TTstand_1.jpg Mine isn’t adjustable but it is modular. The legs are ABS filled with concrete and bolted together with the shelves so it can be moved one piece at a time. Altogether its near 700 lbs and, you might say, rock solid.
This is kind of old but you get the idea http://www.theanalogdept.com/c_miller.htm

I've just started looking for an audio rack for my son, I'm giving him my RP 3 and some other pieces. I like your DIY rack and wondering what did you use for feet?

Ironically the best approach is actually a stand that allows the turntable to move freely in all directions, I.e., an isolation stand. The best isolation is achieved when the component can move easiest in all directions, all six of them! There used to be the Flexy Rack that achieved some degree of isolation by being the opposite of rigid. Rigidity and mass are the enemies of high performance.
