I am building a new house and want a minimalist display for my audio equipment. At this point the walls are just framed, so I have access to do whatever I need to do. I have a MMF turntable, Cayin tubed amp and CD player, plus a small pre-amp for the turntable.
I am thinking about having two wide shelves, like two inch thick blocks of wood, just sticking out of the wall. TT and Amp on the upper shelf. I am concerned anything I construct may dip - even a tiny dip would look bad.
I came across these:
Target - VW1 Wall Mount Turntable Shelf
http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=TGVW1
Not wide enough, but I could put 2 side by side. My concern is the weight of a tube amp on a shelf such as that - but I can put in as many wall studs as I want at this point.
Thoughts? Other ideas? Other products?
thanks!
