It's all hand made (all of it, the spikes, everything), I mean machined but a guy did it all the way we agreed. It's real wood, so they are in fact massive and heavy and supported on 3 point they never ever rock. Reactions: John Parks

Yes, any height. The width really raises the price since he is getting the blocks that are 2 inches. Mine are slightly thicker, I asked him and he glued them on another edge. They are 26 inches top to bottom. Reactions: afterlife2 and John Parks

About the dusk - I don't like getting up early but I mind it less when I wake up to the setup. About the stands - I had none until now. I thought it's not even a question and that you buy stands almost exclusively to improve performance. Do you think otherwise? Don't you agree with what the purpose of the stands is? Anyway, until now they were sitting on a huge, HUGE commode with no fronts and I think the entire piece of furniture was resonating. And the furthest they could get away from the rear wall was a foot (and the rear wall is bare concrete). So on stands they do sound better. I didn't mean I switched one pair of stands with another and rediscovered my songbook!

And it's really much better. Here you can see the huge, 4 drawers wide (6 feet) commode with no fronts. I think this entire box resonated together with the speakers. It is less boomy now.

Let's start with a very romantic one: And a truthful one (no TT without a screwdriver at hand, here adjusting the lift height): That's where I still had the Concorde on the TT. I wasn't really pleased. I opted to change first for AT 8still no satisfaction) and then I landed on SuperOM5E by Ortofon. It's good entry level in my humble opinion. You can also see LS50s sitting on the said commode. This is the Final Tuning - the overhang, the little scale for the pressure visible on the very chassis of the TT, the antiskating... It's when it finally came from the shop all cleaned and lubed working like a working girl: Still haven't made any artistic ones. Will do. Reactions: afterlife2

But remember, you have a towel over a lamp!! It did get hot, but not too hot. In a month or two I'll have one of those commodes that have central shelf and the amp will be separated.

Too bad I couldn’t find one like that for the living room. I really love the one I found it fit my TV and center perfectly. My receiver is on the floor. I do like it there something different. No pets or kids so no worries. Do you have a home theater setup as well? Haha like I said I hardly use that lamp only at night when I’m listening to music. Reactions: killdozzer

Even though I have a projector but that one is very mischievously placed in my bedroom: I put myself to sleep with movies and series. But music I like stereo and I'm going for 2.1 system. Listening mostly to digital file with an addition of TT which is a souvenir. This is something close to what gets me going: Plus a sub, plus some better room acoustics, a chair in front... I ask nothing more. Reactions: afterlife2
