| Thiel CS3.6 and PrimaLuna I own the Thiel CS 3.6 speakers and you don't want to drive them with minimal power, because they won't sing. Plus, you'll get distortion if you push it. I first went the tube route, and today would go with a quality SS amp and perhaps an equally ... | |
| DIY IKEA Lack Rack - Preparing the legs? Update - As it turns out, the IKEA shelves or table tops are not filled with fiberboard, so used only in the corners. Instead, they are for the most part hollow, but use a paper honeycomb structure for strength. Essentially, these tables are mostl... | |
| 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... |
