    Default An early Christmas present.

    I got this from my lovely other half as an early Christmas pressie.

    It's a Norstone Esse.



    It's a very nice bit of furniture and completely transforms the space.

    I really like what you have done, I know sound quality is our number one consideration but I think making a very pleasing system to look at is important too, for me it enhances the pleasure.

    I use the same rack with the addition of a granite chopping board under my turntable

    Cheers, I agree completely, you can always squeeze a bit more enjoyment out of any system in a space you enjoy.

    That's a whole lot of a turntable! How does it sound?

    I use a very similar looking single granite block under my TT, I do think it helps.

    It's certainly not going anywhere! I'm very pleased with the sound it produces although I only use a middle of the road MM cartridge on it.
