In the Thread: How do you position your stereo?
Post Subject: How do you position your stereo?Posted by drdna on: 9/6/2008
I am faced with remodeling a bit. I started out with all my equipment on an Arcici Lead Balloon rack and two speakers, which was nice and simple. The mono SE-DHT tube amplifiers I built are now on either side. I recently have come into possession of a Sansui TU-X1 and it is too big to fit on the rack. Also I have some of the parts (but not yet any of the time) to start building a new turntable with multiple arms and also the Melquiades amplifier.
So all this equipment is lying out on the floor and the cats are having a field day.
The living room also has a flat screen TV on a stand, but I was going to wall-mount it. My ideas right now are:
1) Get a second stand to accomodate the amplifiers and the tuner.
2) Build shelves on the wall to accomodate all the equipment and get it out of the middle of the room.
Option #2 is appealing since it will free up a lot of space and make the equipment more cat-proof. I was thrilled to come home a month ago to find the tonearm wires chewed through and the tonearm swinging freely.
Option #1 is good because it will minimize cable length runs and maximize heat dispersion.
I am basically throwing it out there for ideas since before I commit to any major builidng projects for the house.
Your suggestions are appreciated.
