I have a Pro-ject Wallmount it 5.
It’s nicely done, solid steel frame with spikes for the wood table.
Which is completed by an inner part with some kind of little steel parts (bearing ?) to absorb more vibrations…

Okay. Roger that.
It’s a wall shelf then…
We have the “half” Decent Audio turntable wall shelf, which is well engineered and does the job 
Good luck.

Tiger Paw went out of business sometime ago, although their website is still live, speak to Peter @ Cymbiosis
I use Hifi Racks Podium wall shelf finished in natural oak, which matches my LP12 oak plinth.
Sadly Hifi Racks have recently stopped trading but I am sure there may be a few dealers who still have one in stock.
Can’t say how it compares to other options as it’s not easy to do that without drilling lots of holes in your wall, but it totally solved my bouncy floor issues.

Thanks for sharing these pictures, priceless to see them set up. The hifi racks podium is in the shortlist and think I can still see them for sale with a dealer in Aus where I am.
The I just can’t see the tiger paw working in my space, the concept of light and strong appeals but the exposed frame just isn’t for me.
Shelf shortlist now solid steel and hifi rack. Will decide over the coming week and post once installed. Any other pictures and variations welcomed

This has always been Linn’s recommendation for LP12 support. Quite how chopping up thick pieces of kitchen worktop, especially made of oak, one of the heaviest timbers, was sold as a good idea for supporting high end hifi equipment is beyond me.

My HFR Podium was really heavy and always (worryingly) flexible- maybe too much for our 116 year old brick walls despite the heavyweight fixings. I swapped for QS SVT…much happier now.
If you are looking to position an SME20 (and others of similar weight) on a wall-shelf, the wooden shelving was pretty much the only stuff which was adequately rated to do this from my research several years ago.
I asked an SME dealer what wall-shelf they recommended (e.g. if you had a bouncy floor) and they didn’t have any suggestions.
I used a Target wall shelf back in the 80’s when I bought my first LP12. That was very light and rigid but far from attractive as furniture goes. My wife hates the look of my hifi even though she enjoys it’s sound quality. My Hifi Racks wall shelf was a comprise between being functional and more in keeping with our oak furniture.
I remember Linns recommendation for light rigid tables for LP12’s, although now most of their current and many other hifi brands advertise their products on stylish sideboards.
Clearly people want their hifi to fit into their life style more than in years gone by.

Turntable designs vary widely, of course, and a support that suits an LP12 might not be ideal for other designs. On weight capacity alone, there are wall shelves from SolidSteel and Quadraspire that are rated up to 50kg or so. I can’t imagine there are too many turntables that would exceed that, as long as you get the fixings right.
Great shelves. Great recommendation from Mr Swain @Cymbiosis many moons ago.

Is that Michell’s levitation feet? What do you think of them compared to the originals?
Yes, I agree that we often have to make compomises for aesthetic reasons in our living spaces. I went with Isoblue because I found it to look a bit more like furniture than most purpose designed racks.
I find wall shelves particularly ugly, not least because of the cables dangling beneath them, and those powder coated box section steel things look to me like they belong in a warehouse.
They are the new levi feet. It is a while since i had the originals on the TT. I had the solidair versions for a couple of years. Each has been an improvement, much sharper sound with solidair and similar again to a lesser extent with these.

Okay, sounds good (I assume that by sharper you mean clearer)
Yes.

Same for me. Got one for my LP12. The LP12 is long gone but I actually still have that old Target wall shelf sitting in basement storage somewhere.

I don’t think there was ever a point where advertising for Linn would have an LP12 on a wall shelf. That was always an ugly look. And I use one, mind you.
