Woolie2003 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Hi all, Might be a strange one, but I'm planning to decorate the front room, which isn't huge but I'd like to move the tele to the wall and then put some sort of sideboard or cabinet in it's place where I can put 2 x records decks and a mixer on the top. Does anyone have anything that I can see for inspiration and/or any suggestions on where to look? Probably after something around 200cm long (max). Cheers, Steve Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/kallax-shelving-unit-oak-effect-90307492/#content You can get a stand for it, doors, boxes etc to go inside the cubes. I have one with Lps in it Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Keamus Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I moved house last year and bought a unit from Etsy. Bit like one in this pic. Great piece of furniture, but inevitably not quite big enough! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I’m not so sure you would have to lean over tone arm to adjust the pitch. I never saw any house dj’s set up like this for mixing I think it would be more difficult. they would have them normal way with arm at side.

Benji Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 yes you're right. adjusting pitch would be much harder. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I've got 2 x turntables, small mixer to go in between and two Pioneer monitor speakers - reckon that's perfect just for a living room set-up (and that's about all I'd be able to realistically get away with from the wife!!) so just needed somewhere to put them hence this thread!!

That’s what I’m after but I might just squeeze one turntable on a very small cabinet next to the sofa in the corner. i wax also considering some kind of table in middle of room with a lift up lid that comes off to reveal turntable. That way it’s hidden when not in use. https://www.homefurniturecentre.com/hifi-stands/hampshire-turntable-stand-walnut.html?cpgn=8&utm_source=products-adds&utm_campaign=Hampshire Turntable Stand- Walnut&gcampaignid=17796692793&gadgroupid=&gkeyword=&gdevice=m&ggtarget=&gmatch=&gurl=https://www.homefurniturecentre.com/hifi-stands/hampshire-turntable-stand-walnut.html%3Fcpgn%3D8%26utm_source%3Dproducts-adds%26utm_campaign%3DHampshire%20Turntable%20Stand-%20Walnut&gnetwork=x&gplace=&gposition=&gcampaign=PMAX_Furniture&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIoOKLideIhwMVuo5QBh1pMwxWEAQYAyABEgI83fD_BwE Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

If there is such a thing I'd like one as well. Edited July 2 by Jessie Pinkman Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Happy Feet Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 I recently upgraded from one to two decks , small mixer etc check out Juno media 2 x reloops mk 11 direct drive decks plus Citronic mixer ask for best price ( it tells you to) prior to ordering , £203 each deck & £72.for mixer all in free postage via DHL , fortunately able to make my own cabinets and top to house everthing , at a level , low enough to sit in my comfy all leather John Lewis recliner and footstool , that I treated myself to via ebay £50. ( was over £500. new ) All my records are shelved in front above or under the decks , back & side wall , so I can just spin and reach out without having to move too much , beers in the chiller box sorted Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Happy Feet Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Not forgetting the right kind of mood lighting , made this one a few years back , it measures 50cm. x 15cm. x 10cm. using an under cabinet neon tube light from BnQ , it's one of the pre made light fittings including plug so no fears of overheating when the stompers come out 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Lol, A mate of mine early 80s made a large wall in his lounge, into his record library come music room , he stacked bricks with scaffold boards , floor level up 1st 2 shelves for albums then 45s . It looked quite impressive and wasn't permanent so could be altered to suit ,not bad for an history teacher with limited DIY skills . 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
