Hi all,
Is there any reason why something like this....
http://www.mastershelf.co.uk/shopexd.asp?id=550
Would work any less well than one of the expensive purpose built turntable wall shelves?
Thanks,

Doesn't look anywhere near strong enough. You need something like this http://www.audioaffair.co.uk/pro-jec...FSTItAod5_AJTQOriginally Posted by MarginWalker

Lots of folk probably...otherwise I don't see why it would not be fine.

Leverage on the fixings, and possible resonance issues due to the cantilever design.

I've not seen a TT wall shelf that was not a cantilever design. What other way to do it? And if the fixings are genuinally rated for 30 kilo, which it claims, how can that matter?

It may look good, but I wouldn't use it. It's only as strong as its wall fixings. Go for something with a bit of triangulation and multiple wall fixings to spread the load.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

ive got a few floating shelves and they are strong but that comes out a fair bit. must put incredible stresses on the wall and the part of the shelf in the groove. see no reason why it wouldnt work as the tt wont be anywhere nere its claimed limits. one previso is that you can get it level. due to design a mil error at wall means quite a bit off plumb at outside so if your wall is perfectly level the! ok.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Lol... Not bought yet, but imminent! First stage is to provide somewhere to put it
Floor space is nil (for any more racks), so a wall shelf was the only way
