Cable length
I am thinking of wall mounting my new turntable I have two main issues the first is would a 3m rca cable be ok in terms of length of cable run. The second is can you recommend wall shelf; must be 600mm in width I can only find shelves that cost silly money

If you could use a table,the "Lack" types from Ikea are cheap and I know a few people that use them and are quite happy.

Hi John,
Here's a few suggestions for shelves:
http://www.futureglass.com/contempor...s§ion=Home
Or:
http://www.hifigear.co.uk/site/scrip...product_id=882
Or:
http://www.hifi4less.com/product.php/536/0
Or:
http://www.needles-and-spins.co.uk/p..._turntable.cfm
There's loads of stuff out there.
As for cables, keep them as short as possible the signal levels here are tiny. About as low as you're going to get in a HiFi system.
Cheers....

Or phone 0845 6019390. Ask for Simon and tell him you know me.
The shelves are acrylic, very effective, and look the business!

John,
If you do choose this option, let me know first. I have a couple of '10% off' vouchers to use at HiFi Sound!
(I live about 15mins away)
