Googling ‘tabletop hifi rack’ brings some stuff up. Could you make a box that fits your kit nicely with a sturdy wood / granite / marble / whatever top for the turntable?
Stevethecoffee-
Yeah something like that would work - I'd thought a single plinth just slightly bigger than the cd/amp with some of those spongy rubber feet would be the easiest to do but a proper "box" would look better
@dbr that valchromat looks interesting, never seen that before, the marble / granite offcut idea is a good one too - I'd maybe take you up on knocking something up but I'm Glasgow(-ish) based so out of the way a bit!
Here's the offending (to the missus) article as it stands - not the ideal arrangement but sounds not bad & I'm loathe to get rid of it just for convenience...

Anyone any ideas for a platform to sit my turntable on - atop my cd & amp - space is limited so it has to work this way unfortunately... would acrylic or similar work with rubber feet on?
Only place I can have my old cd/amp/turntable is in the kitchen on top of a big 'ol wooden unit, it's a decent size but the speakers are sitting on that too (Q Acoustic 3020 - not bad for the size & price) so it's all stacked up & the turntable overhangs the edge of the cd player a bit so I was thinking of something to make it look less like the forgotten pile of old hifi bits in the corner of your local cash converters...
So far i've downsized the speakers so they sit next to the stereo (big standmount Tannoys are apparently not wife-approved kitchen furniture, even when i put plants on top...) & put an old Arcam DAC I had hooked up to it into storage to minimize the amount of "stuff" there so it's as pared back as I can go without deciding "Fuck. This." & sticking the lot on gumtree (like I may have done with a big Sony STR DA3200 surround amp & half a dozen satellite speakers) and buying another streaming box thing instead...
