Inexpensive shelf/rack for Croft/Harbeth setup.
The IKEA Besta series is interesting as well. Perhaps a bit better build than the LACK. I have no complaints about my Lack, or Expedit stuff. I did use Wood glue on all the wood dowels for extra reinforcement on my Expedit LP shelves though.  
What's been playing on your turntable and what turntable is it ?
smctigue1- How is the three from the vault on vinyl. I enjoy both 1 and 2 from the vault on CD, but haven't heard any of these on vinyl.

Thanks tom6897. The Ikea Lack is really close to what I have in mind. That could be the one. If you google Lignolab bench, that is the general idea. But just the one shelf like that Ikea piece is fine. Simple, open… (-:

bdp24- I could not have said it better. Seriously (-: My feelings exactly. I do have a soft spot for Sara Jarosz, who I plan to see again soon. But for the most part.... Yeah- we were spoiled!  
Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100
SJ- That was Wolf_garcia…. I have never heard a U-turn. I just copied his comments, and commented on what he said. I'm sure the U-Turn is good for the money.  
Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100
I have a friend who loves his "U -Turn" although I haven’t heard one myself. They’re inexpensive and they’re made in my current home state of MA (!). If they made them in China they would be free. LOL- That really is funny. I make it a point never...

Question for GEM Dandy Polytable owners...
I like both the WT Amadeus, and GTA quite a bit. I’ve owned both, and still own the latter. Neither a mk II btw. I’m also looking for a table, both as an upgrade to the GTA, while also keeping my eyes open for something to run in a second system w... 
Question for GEM Dandy Polytable owners...

Basis or Kuzma VTA tonearms fitted to Thorens TD 125 turntable
