Jeff - what's the details on your turntable? Is that the SDS Motor Drive?

Mike... Sorry I took so long to respond. Yes that is the VPI SDS under the table. May I ask what you mean by the "details on the turtable?"
 
Here is a close up of my 402!

Say what people will about the new line of McIntosh amps, I'd still rather have an MC501/MC402 than a 601/452. Just great, musical amps period.
 
Jeff, your findings may be different but when I had hockey pucks under my Martin Logan Summit X speakers, i found that removing them & using metal spike shoes with cork on the bottom gave me much more detail

Nice looking system, Jeff! My dad's system is very similar - MC402/C46/PMC OB1i's...

Here is another set of options from Herbie's - I am using the brass cone/spike decoupling gliders on my speakers, and they really made a big difference:

Bay...I think it's really cool that you went through the effort of drafting up a pic of the suggested cabinet for Jeff. You are an occifer and a gentleman :) Well done. By the way, acoustically, having equipment to the side (i.e., not in between or close on either side of the speakers) is much preferable, so good suggestion there (eventhough I have my rack and TV in between the speakers because that's the only place I have for it in my living room :))

Here is a picture of our system. Little messy right now still remodeling. We need to buy a couple of HDMI cables of correct length. We are debating if we will keep the home theater part of our system. Also this summer we plan to have an electrician friend come in and install dedicated circuits. We also need to finish painting. The afghan in the right corner is draped on a box, it looks terrible but until I can afford real sound treatments it stays. The system sounds better with it there.

Well done Jeff!
Beautiful system, love the VPI ;)
 
Yes!! Great setup Jeff . Definitely love the pucks. I don't have pucks, but I do things like that all the time
Anything to fight vibration.
Great job again!

Cyril... The system sounds great. Just needs to be neatened up. I don't have anywhere else to put the gear. I've tried.

Thanks Cyril, love to help..I lucked out with my cabinet. I searched and searched craigslist, online for new..nothing that would fit my needs..Then one day I saw an ad for a Solid Maple handmade cabinet - Must go $250...YIKES...I raced over..The man was a cabinetmaker and had built it for his wife 10 years prior. She was tired of it and wanted it gone...Weighs 300lbs without the doors and shelves !!! But was perfect..at the time I had a Reel to Reel and wanted the roll out shelf..later the reel to reel was replaced with a record cleaning machine..That puppy is going NO WHERE...too heavy
