Turntable on same shelf as RTR?

[can-man]

I am designing a flexrack for my Mcintosh based system and wondering any vibrations or problems of having my RTR on same shelf as Project Debut turntable. Shelf is 48" x 24" so lots of room. I am using 3/4" birch plywood and 5/8" all threads. Does this sound ok or would I be better
with turntable on own shelf.

I bet the motor in the tape deck might cause some vibration, but I'm not sure how noticeable it will be. Why not try testing them together on a bookshelf or something?

Will they be running at the same time? I guess if you are recording to the tape they will be. If not I would not be concerned.

From my experience I'v managed to get the best isolation/performance by using a separate dedicated wall shelf for the turntable.
