Building your own high end turntable stand?

@Markfina, thanks for the wall shelf info. This looks like a very flexible solution. I made my own wall shelf mounted TT rack out of some steel from old speaker stands, but might try this one as an alternative since it is such a great price. Have you had any problems with the arms flexing any under weight? How flexible is the mounting location as you match the wall rack up to the stud locations?

Odedia & Markfina - Both of you gave me an idea. Why not build a form out of plywood and shape it into something aesthetically pleasing and then cast it out of concrete? Some 2" wire cloth internal for stress and breakage resistance, add some inserts for spike feet, and go to a marble store that sells marble kitchen counters but dig through their trash bin for a suitable piece. It would look very cool and be very effective. What do you think ??

This is a very solid system for the money it has a series of holes that run the length of the wall bracket that you use to find the studs for your lag bolts, with a cover that snap over to hide it and the arms can be leveled individually with the adjustable screws that are part of the arms it is a very well thought out bracket. Amazing most engineer's have their head up there rear or the bean counters screw it up, I have had no problems with it holding the weight.When I get a chance I will try and post some pictures. The uses of this bracket are wide open you could build your own wall mount system with these brackets along with cutting boards for shelf's that would look really cool and rock solid no more large amps without enough air space above them just install the brackets at the height you want for each piece of equipment that you own adding another new component no problem add another bracket very flexible.

Hi
I have my own TT stand. It supports my Kuzma XL4 TT which has a total weight of around 90Kg.
Essentially it is a piece of 50mm slate bonded to a piece of 50mm granite, both approx 500mm sq.
This sit on an acoustic absorbent polymer with wood support supported on springs. The whole lot sits on a small hardwood table.

MIne is a very heavy, massive and low profile solid oak coffee table I found in a used furniture store down south about 20 years ago for around $30 as I recall.

Have yet to see anything else worth considering as a replacement years later.

Guaranteed, if whatever you buy is marketed to high end turntable users, you will pay a huge premium for the actual things that matter in a "turntable stand" versus finding some common piece of furniture with similar physical characteristics that can do the job just as well, maybe better.

Might not look as cool though.

"Turntable stands" generally work best when table is located closer to ground level rather than up high, where vibrations transmitted via the floor and air will be magnified.

So if one is handy raw materials needed to construct a solid low profile stand big enough to do the job need not cost much. Could be wood, cinder blocks, whatever as long as rigid, dense/massive and not prone to transmit vibration.
