Cool man!
Who made your rack, if you don't mind me asking? It kind of looks like a Massif.
Tom~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~ -

No problem at all. A friend from college got tired of the corporate rat race, and is a full time woodworker now. https://www.keyhomegoods.com/
The design is largely based off the Butcher Block Acoustics designs, with some tweaks for my specifications. Highly recommend working with a local woodworker if you have any!Analog: Hana ML > VPI Prime Signature 21 > Bob's Devices Sky 20-S > Sutherland 20/20 w/LPS

How are you liking the new TT? What cart, and pre are you using with it?
I love mine, definitely an end game piece for me.. -

When I was young, I was Superman but now that old age has gotten the best of me I'm only Batman -
I’m loving it! This is the first time I upgraded the TT without upgrading the cart so I get a full sense of just what the TT can do. And the difference is honestly more significant than I was expecting.displayname wrote: »

It’s running my Hana ML cartridge into a Bob’s Devices Sky 20-S and that goes into my Sutherland 20/20 w/LPS.
My digital is now by far the weakest point in my system, but I think I’ll do cables next. Loving the upgrade though!

I finally upgraded my seating for the 2-ch rig. I've wanted an Enkornes Stressless reclining two seater for a long time, but I'm too frugal to spend their new pricing on one. Found one yesterday just across the Alabama line for about the same cost as two weeks of groceries. A steal for this stuff. The set looks like new. The look is not for everyone, but I like the Nordic style. For the first time since my kids destroyed my LaZBoy recliner, I've been able to sit without a back support pillow. Well, my IKEA Poang chair also doesn't need a pillow, but that just didn't look right in the big room all by itself.
Plus, someone clearly prefers a double seat and doesn't like when I sit in a solo chair. 😅
