My rack is to the left of the speakers, a little to the left of the center of the room. Unfortunately my tv (on a lowboard)has to be between the speakers, because it won't fit anywhere else.

I hope you are going to try more distances inbetween? 10 cm between distances is a bit too much. I do it down to 1 mm...

I loved your cat, but found it difficult to pick a favourite, maybe no. 2.

That's what I use, it's the first time I haven't been able to play a video. Even tried downloading it to play with Quicktime, didn't work either.
Edit: I now have listened to them on my iPhone and have a clear preference No. 3.

Strangely enough, I can't play them on my iMac :-( Unsupported format...

Hi Pete,
no washers is a no-go, but the other two sound so different, that it's hard to say.

I'm leaning towards A (listened to Kari and Dave).

Late to the party, but I spontaneously wanted to listen longer to the brass version. Interesting finding! Linn's use of brass threads in the Ekstatik is no coincidence then.

So, maybe for the cables entering and exiting the Akurate DSM then?
This is what the straight sheepskin looks like, I have samples 25 x 25 cm, about 5 cm high.

Then there's the question of curly or straight sheepskin, of course. I think I could also arrange deer skin and wolf skin for testing, maybe even reindeer ;-) I have small samples of straight sheepskin in the shop, I think I'll try one of those for the LP12 cables.

I would recommend, that you save up for a Lingo 4, maybe a used one. Now that's a step up!

I'm going against the grain here: Glen sings much better with the 109's. That said, I do enjoy the Kans too.

If you are using the Fischer plugs, buy an extra packet, because using them is a bit fiddly. We managed to destroy the threading on one or two, but once fitted, it's extremely stable. And you can of course adjust the distance of the rack to the wall, I think for mine it's around 6 mm.

Yeah, mine was sagging too. I had to correct it with the spikes for the shelf. At least one of them was at the maximum. The Audio Tech is way more solid and sounds better.

Is this the Quadraspire you're referring to? https://quadraspire.co.uk/wall-brackets/ That's the current one, yes. I had the previous model and traded that for an Audio Tech in July and it's much better. So can warmly recommend Audio Tech, they do show up used now and then. I only paid € 100,- for ...

I have a clear preference for A, B seems stilted in comprison.

You're welcome :-) Please try also his early jazz recordings, they're brilliant. As are the late 60's works. Very interesting (and good) is also his collaborations with Sly & Robbie on "Aux Armes Et Cætera" and " Mauvaises Nouvelles Des Étoiles".

Another vote for B; Song 2 left me cold on A and got my head bopping on B.

This is the way to go!

Has this ever been done, do you know?

In high-end car audio applications this very common, sometimes with very good results.

You could always ask Mr. Lejonklou directly, if he could sell you a Sagatun or Superkikkin preamp...
