Turntable will share wall with 52" flat panel ...

...TV and front channel speakers in a compromise system that sees most of its time in 2 channel mode when not doing the HT thing. Does anyone know of any innovative low riser rack systems that won't give the overwhelming impression that the Turntable was shoehorned with great difficulty into a 21st-century-big-box-electronic-store-digitally-dominated-space? I have no objection to wall mounting the TV but don't wish to go higher with it than eye level from sitting in a recliner chair at ten or fifteen paces. I'd like to be able to raise the dust cover on the turntable with minimal chance of its being accidentally slammed into the TV screen but, at the same time, I don't want to give the visual impression that the turntable is sitting on the floor. I don't want to go much wider than 50" on the rack and would like something with some depth-from-wall should I decide to go with Mac or Levinson amp at some future point. Has anyone faced the same dilemna or have any suggestions?

Ikea actually has several mod style shelves for equipment. I've also refinished (first gutted) an old motorola console, putting doors wrapped in a 50's fabric where the speakers were and installing a turntable inside. I've still got all the AlNiCo speakers and tube equipment that I'll put to use someday.

Also, I'd like to suggest the bludot moduliscious, as I'm a huge fan of pretty much all their stuff.

Room and board may also have a couple of solutions that may please your tastes.

I think furniture is one of those things that requires FAR MORE of that WAF than even speakers. Hope you find something that you enjoy!
