Turntable wall mount DIY

There are a number of companies that make a reasonable unit, but IIWM I would get a better shelf on which to set the Linn than the stock shelf.

The Target and the Rega are the most ubiquitous commercial ones, but here's a link to some interesting custom shelves that some folks have made:

In another thread of mine I will be giving a final review on the Neuance Platform below a Linn Sondek Lp12 w/Ittok LVII arm and Akiva cartridge, if you are interested. Others have spoke well of the Neuance Platform and it fits the parameters Ivor Tiefenbrun recommends for his Linn TT's, light weight and rigid. My wall mount rack is Italian and not manufactured anymore yet very similar to the Target. It implements metal spikes and a tubular steel construction. I'm not sure what the name of it is as I bought the thing over twenty-five years ago for this application. This arrangement sounded great before adding the new Platform but did exhibit some signs of room vibration in the shelf. The Platform is just settling in and it will be about a week, stay tuned. Cheers!

I recall a friend mounting his shelf from the ceiling using heavy duty fishing line and four adjustable turn buckles. I must admit it looked seriously cool just hanging in mid air . You could hardly see the line and the turnbuckles allowed for leveling as well as adjustment for initial stretching. He used a one inch piece of acrylic for the platform.

Chris -- how did he keep it from swaying?
