The Irish man named Sterey O'Furniture...
Everything started well- I used a TV stand to put my equipment on...
Then... Phase Linear came into my life- and everything was too damned big and heavy. I've looked everywhere- NOBODY makes furniture for stereo equipment any more, especially not for big equipment. I improvised with some cinder blocks for a while, but it was inconvenient to flip albums and it looked like shit. The "redneck home decor" was getting on my nerves. I told myself that this is South Carolina- and
everybody has
something up on blocks!
I cruised Home Depot's website looking for some shelving planks to improvise in a different direction. I found this:

I bought two, will need to cut holes for cable passes, I also want to bolt the two together for added stability. They have insertable drawer modules, so I'll get a pair later. Haven't decided exactly where I want the components, but the preamp definitely has to go upward to accommodate the length of the turntable cables.
They're actually a bit tall for my liking, but they'll do. Stereo furniture is impossible to find, and what you do manage to get is particle board with a cardboard back. After I finalize the component placement, I'll get 1/4" plywood for the backs.
