Console or other surface for amplifier and turntable

For a while I was building individual stands for amps over preamps, that kind of use

I checked discarded furniture, along the side of the road, or thrift stores, just to see if the top was solid hardwood. Keep a heavy hammer in the car: if it won’t fit in your car easily, beat the bottom to pieces and take the hardwood top home.

For my stands, even drawer fronts were big enough for the side pieces.

My woodworker would plane it and I would take it from there. Mahogany, Walnut, I don’t care much for Oak, but there is a lot of it around.

i.e. you might find a decent size piece of furniture in a thrift store with a quality top, then build whatever under it.

These Grand Prix and Tough Nut racks are functional and tasteful IMHO and should perform well sonically as well.  Best of luck in your search.

I recently bought a rack from Timbernation which replaced a Salamander Archetype 5 rack. The rack is made of  four 2" solid tiger maple shelves that are 48" long, so plenty of room for equipment. It looks good (high WAF) and is very sturdy. There was about a 12 week lead time.

Remember that many audio components require adequate cooling ventilation, so hot running components may not function well if shelf/rack/console is closed back.
