• 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...

  • You could call a local granite / marble worktop manufacturer. They often have ideal sized slabs as a result of sink cut outs. That’s if you’re after isolation. If it’s a small rack you want I could make something in birch ply or valchromat for not much money.
