How about THESE or any others from that manufacturer.
They can be custom made to any height you want.
I'm hoping to get the Podium XL to use as a TV/Hi-Fi stand unless I find the same sort of thing cheaper somewhere else.

I have to say that I was always very, very pleased with my Townshend seismic sink stand, I had to be, it cost enough and I'm not one for 'snake oil' tweaks without sound engineering principles behind them.
Unfortunately back then, it was pretty Heath Robinson, but it's come on a lot these days....

Copulare.... Oh dear lord! Are you blind! Utterly horrible!
Stillpoints... Ah now that's more like it. Yes, very cool. I like it.
Grandpix... No now that's just boring and looks like other glass and chrome stuff.
Personally I'm planning to build my own rack using shelves made of solid block wood Birch Ikea worktops.
Uprights will be of 16mm stainless steel studding, with stainless nuts and washers holding the shelves.
Shelves will be decoupled from the rods using polyeurothene O-rings between the washers and shelves.
Top and bottom of the threaded rob will be finished with stainless dome nuts.
Equipment will sit on DIY islolation platforms consisting of two beatifully finished layers of slate from John at Slate Age, each of which a number have 20mm radius indentations in one face so that they are separated by a number of squash balls, the number and type of which allow you to adjust for kit of different weights....

The Revo is probably the best performance stand there is. It unlocks rhythmic interplay between musicians and harmonic detail you never knew even existed.
The Techie will leap into orbit on one of those.

the wood I used is castagno it's common in Toscany as you may know,
I have just finished last week this plinth for my NOS from the Box Technics SP10 MkII for
which I'am very happy on how it turned out, I have many pic's of the making but I don't want to show off to much about it. I would like if someone can give me a tip for some cart's that work well with the arms I have SME 312 & SME 3012 II bent at 18° just like the Thomas Schick arms, at the moment I have 2 DL103 on both for testing ,
thanks again

I am lost for words, John - simply awesome!!
That's also about the nicest plinth I've seen for an SP10. What is it made from, and did you do it yourself?
Marco.
