Multiple turntables

To those of you who have and use multiple turntables, how do you hook them to your system and what sort of stand or support do you use. I use different phono preamps running into an integrated amp, so each input is a different turntable/arm/cartridge combo. Others may use phono preamps that accept more than one turntable input. However, mounting multiple turntables have been somewhat of a challenge, since they take up a lot of room, must be accessible from the top and need a solid support. Anyone use a pull out shelf system?

Inna, Guys who have Caliburns also have at least one or more other megabuck turntables. It is possible to be crazy at nearly any level of financial status. Even a bum can occasionally find an old BSR, Miracord, or Dual in someone's trash.

Lewm, you are probably right. I just meant that there would be no audiophile need. There is one, I think, German from Bavaria here who has five or six great RTR decks. He is also a collector, I gather. As are many others here, I guess. I am not. Just give me that Australian thing, Studer deck and EMM Labs player, and that would be enough.

I agree with String but the insanity is part of the fun but 1 quality table is enough for me.

Lew, watch your tongue! I have a BSR programable linear tracking table/arm for sale on Craig's List that I'm selling for elderly friends. I wouldn't want your comments to discourage a potential buyer. ;-)

No slur intended on BSR , Miracord, or especially Dual. I only mentioned those brands, because they were very popular among those who enjoyed "hi-fi" in days of yore, before anyone ever dreamed that a turntable could be sold for more than about $500, tops.

Inna, the guy you refer to is "Thuchan" in Bavaria. He owns the "less expensive" Continuum turntable (humor intended), plus many others that are also very pricey. I think he is a true music lover who happens to have the cash to indulge himself, not so much a collector per se.
