| DIY IKEA Lack Rack - Preparing the legs? B, Yes it's easy to overthink this at this price point. Thanks, for your input.Kenny | |
| DIY IKEA Lack Rack - Preparing the legs? Now, I get ya B!I wasn't going to try to find fiberboard to fill the cavities, because it only comes in sheets (I think). I was going to use wood turning stock that would perfectly fit the 1.75" x 1.75" cavities. That got me started to wonder if w... | |
| DIY IKEA Lack Rack - Preparing the legs? B, That's a great idea using epoxy as a filler. The only downside would be the amount required. I will have twelve legs that average 7" each. Except, for the fiberboard inserts at the ends there's probably 5" of cavity in each leg, so 60" total. T... | |
| DIY IKEA Lack Rack - Preparing the legs? B, Yup, that's what I have to do. So, if these legs were once filled with fiberboard, and now they're just fiberboard end caps, what's best to fill-in the legs with for resonance? So, that's the question.Kenny | |
| TO BE OR NOT TO BE the user of a record clamp Sorry, I somehow double posted my last statements.Kenny | |
| TO BE OR NOT TO BE the user of a record clamp Like they say, it depends on the table. I have an old Sota Star Saphire that came with a clamp and a platter vacuum system. So, this table was designed for those. I tried the Sota clamp on my TW-Acustic Raven and no, it did not help. The soundstag... | |

| DIY IKEA Lack Rack - Preparing the legs? B,From the pictures I've seen, just the bottom of the legs have fiberboard. Si if you cut them open they're hollow. Here's a link:http://www.innerurban.com/innerurban/audio/labels/DIY%20Audio%20Rack.html Kenny | |
| Racks made of wood prof,A number of us have reached the same conclusions, and I too have experienced the benefits of springs if properly implemented. I started with an SRA platform under my TT, but that did not eliminate the feedback from my subs. I then replaced th... | |
| Racks made of wood My daughter, is close to getting her first TT. She rents a small house with wood suspended floors and has an old TV stand cabinet with a broken back leg, that's no good for a TT. What a perfect opportunity to build and try the Ikea Lack solution. ... | |
| Racks made of wood Dekay,Will the IKEA Lack rack handle a heavy turntable on the top shelf? So, 50 to 80 lbs? And, do you know if there might be any flexing in this situation using the Lack coffee tables?Thanks,Kenny | |
| Teach an Old Dog New Tricks cmcdaniel,+++ For keeping it as simple as possible.I went with "separates" for my first stab at putting together a ripping/NAS/streaming system, and that meant updating and troubleshooting the individual parts when something stopped working. A nig... | |
| Good Sounding Vintage SS Receiver or Amps I own an original Heathkit AA-151 amp that I was using in my office when pop and a tiny whisper of smoke from the rear. The sound was sweet, and I already realized that the original caps needed to be replaced. I'd like to take care of the caps, in... | |
| Racks made of wood + 1 DeKayI read Ken's thread contribution and agree that flexi racks sonically, are just furniture. Mine included. However, from my own experience, spikes don't do much to eliminate mechanical feedback caused by wood suspended floors. Just saying.... | |
| Racks made of wood I built a DIY rack (maple/brass) that was fun, but not cheap. Since then, I've learned some things from experience about certain downsides. The rack is nice and high, so perfect for playing vinyl, as I don't have to bend over. Luckily, all the she... |
