Great Idea, I thought more people would respond.
I added photos to this LP listing just to show my system/TT here.

I have my TT at a comfortable operating height (bad knees, bad back, bad attitude). I highly encourage doing this if possible/eventually. It just worked out bit by bit.
The JVC Plinth is big, a simple custom size glass shelf solved it. On top of two ventilated equipment surrounds I designed/built with their own glass shelves. On top of a rack with glass ventilated shelves.
2x2 Iso-blocks separate the TT from everything below, just enough to deal with my springy wood floor. The equipment surrounds have their own firm rubber isolators, and each glass shelf sits on it’s firm rubber isolators, part of the rack’s design, why I chose it, aside from looks.
.........................
Happily the weight of the JVC spinner is forward, so I did not need to add any support under the overhang in the back as I might have.
I was going to make a skirt below the plinth, but Donna likes the daylight coming thru, a lighter look, OK! I promised her the top of that rack for plants when we bought it many years ago. Notice the plants are on trays (felt pads on bottom). I move the trays of plants from the Reel to Reel player to the TT, or back on the R2R mostly to play LP’s.
.............................
A 3rd ventilated equipment stand I built supports my Cayin Tube Amp over my McIntosh Tube Tuner/Preamp. Small cabinet moves on felt feet, Front and Back wide open, air in/out below/above the side panels. Preamp slides in/out independently, leave the heavy amp in place, that’s a treat.
............................
Ours is a small split level, only 1200 sq. ft. so space is a premium. The large room (for this house) is a music/dining table at the end shown, listening as shown by my feet. Turn the chair(s) around, now at the side of the other end, living/small home theater with it’s own system. The DBX 100 mains produce a very wide center image, the small Bose center channel is in the space below the TV’s glass shelf and wood cabinet I modified below, small rear surround speakers on their backs firing up behind the sofa, a single sub just for Jurassic Park Dinosaur Stomp.
That's not a speaker above the TV, lousy photo, it's a cool metal sculpture my brother made.
