Turntable will share wall with 52" flat panel ...

...TV and front channel speakers in a compromise system that sees most of its time in 2 channel mode when not doing the HT thing. Does anyone know of any innovative low riser rack systems that won't give the overwhelming impression that the Turntable was shoehorned with great difficulty into a 21st-century-big-box-electronic-store-digitally-dominated-space? I have no objection to wall mounting the TV but don't wish to go higher with it than eye level from sitting in a recliner chair at ten or fifteen paces. I'd like to be able to raise the dust cover on the turntable with minimal chance of its being accidentally slammed into the TV screen but, at the same time, I don't want to give the visual impression that the turntable is sitting on the floor. I don't want to go much wider than 50" on the rack and would like something with some depth-from-wall should I decide to go with Mac or Levinson amp at some future point. Has anyone faced the same dilemna or have any suggestions?

Honestly I have looked at the same situation in order to keep the turntable in the center under a panel tv mostly in order to keep all electronics, amps, etc... in the same area center of the room with as short of cables as possible. What we need is an old style but in new modern looking form of a 50's console stereo cabinet.. They would be wide but low, only about 33" or so high, but have a top over the turntable that would open on hinges upward and then when not in use close the top plus it would be able to hide the turntable, and housed safely with a full counter over the top of it in a more compact area.

Anybody know where to buy or have made such a thing?
