Opinions: Neuance Shelf for Linn Sondek Lp12 TT

Ken at Neuance is GREAT to deal with ......... plus his product really works (at least under my SACD player).

Lugnut,

What a great post. You really stayed on point and gave great advice.

I understand exactly what you say about Linn detractors. I find the same thing with Krell products. I get tired of Krell bashers. I have tried many products, but find the Krell products that I have owned to produce the most musical sound (especially with my big B&W800's) that I have heard. I am using the sound that I get from listening to the SF Symphony where I sit 9th row center as my reference. During the last 18 years, I keep coming back to Krell. ... and the company is great to deal with.

Also, a note to R_f_sayles: My room is almost exactly the same size as yours and with my system, the sound is best with the speakers oriented along the long wall.

I was instructed by the maker to place a heavy weight on the platform for several days before setting it up. I used a lot of books.
I then placed it on my wooden stand. I used the screw in points (obviously face up). I then placed my SACD player on the platform.

Tighter everything and a lot more air.

(He also told me that some people who wanted possibly more detail could add the DH ceramic cones between the platform and the player. I bought them before I tried the platform, but decided that I was happy with the platform as is. I also didn't want to have my SACD player on the three points...less stability. I never even took the new cones out of the box.)

If the entire unit were triangular, then three would be more stable, but, since my SACD player is not inside a stand, any pressure to the unsupported corners would tilt the unit.
