| KEF 104 grill shape Thank you, @dekay . I get the foam in this week and will see if it's structured enough without a frame. If so, this felt would be a great solution. The cloth solution might ultimately be best for not protruding too much past the front of the cabin... | |

| Next step in a turntable upgrade path Thank you for the recommendation @helomech . Do you know about the various MK versions? | |
| Next step in a turntable upgrade path @rmdmoore You are sort of asking my question in reverse. Thank you for that, and I'm not sure how to answer. I'm not primarily using vinyl as a source, but I am curious to know what it would take to have better analog input. Nothing in my current... | |
| Next step in a turntable upgrade path Thank you, @dmk_calgary and @mswale . They do look pricey, but beautiful. And hunting for a bargain is part of the fun, right? ☮️ | |
| Next step in a turntable upgrade path Thank you for the suggestion and for the comment on my room/system. I'll take a look at the VPI and the tube phone pre👍🏻 |
