Building your own high end turntable stand?


I have been looking for a reasonably priced, heavy, sturdy, rock solid turntable support and apparently those words don't "fit" in my budget....so...I thought I would try to build my own. Was thinking about a thick marble top??? Does anyone know where one could find plans or at least good guide lines to use? I want this to just support my VPI and be waist high....no other electronics to generate vibration or noise....any ideas????? Has anyone built their own or has a good idea as to what would work and is willing to share their imagination??? I hope to hear back from a few members...I know its not going to proform as well as one built professionally but I can't afford 2 or 3 thousand dollars on a stand.

thanks, dean

@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?
