Multiple turntables

To those of you who have and use multiple turntables, how do you hook them to your system and what sort of stand or support do you use. I use different phono preamps running into an integrated amp, so each input is a different turntable/arm/cartridge combo. Others may use phono preamps that accept more than one turntable input. However, mounting multiple turntables have been somewhat of a challenge, since they take up a lot of room, must be accessible from the top and need a solid support. Anyone use a pull out shelf system?

I have 3 up and running. I use an Adona rack system that is expandable out to each side, so I ended up with three top shelves sitting on a common set of supports (i.e., four pairs of legs support three vertical columns side by side by side). This works fine but efforts have had to be made to further improve isolation from floor borne sources. Adona is nice quality for reasonable money. The design is thoughtful and makes engineering sense. But there is no free lunch when it comes to tt isolation.

Inna, Guys who have Caliburns also have at least one or more other megabuck turntables. It is possible to be crazy at nearly any level of financial status. Even a bum can occasionally find an old BSR, Miracord, or Dual in someone's trash.

No slur intended on BSR , Miracord, or especially Dual. I only mentioned those brands, because they were very popular among those who enjoyed "hi-fi" in days of yore, before anyone ever dreamed that a turntable could be sold for more than about $500, tops.

Inna, the guy you refer to is "Thuchan" in Bavaria. He owns the "less expensive" Continuum turntable (humor intended), plus many others that are also very pricey. I think he is a true music lover who happens to have the cash to indulge himself, not so much a collector per se.
