Interesting to make new fine adjustments after sometime and play little with the SME extra weights and also the silicone demp. I'm guessing that no extra weight is needed and pretty tiny amount of demp, if any..

    Cool

    How do you approach vinyls? In the photo area behind the system looks quite tight.
    Otherwise wonderful ...

    There is approx 40cm space between the vinyls and the system plus it can be reached easily from the side of the speaker. So it's bit tight but still manageable despite not being the smallest bloke around. And the classical section of about 400 LPs is separated from the others the behind the rack and those are used less, so..

    Hmmm, i didn't even see that you had rearranged your vinyl collection until now!
    I looked and looked for the changes in shelving... in your equipment stand...
    Haha!
    Anyway, Hyvää Joulua!

    I would estimate something like 2300-2500 LP's including the classical section. Then around 100 LP's of some rubbish like top of the pops etc are stored to closet upstairs. So the most can be seen at the pic above..

    WOW! - lol - that's pretty amazing, Mika.

    I'm still wondering about the Vicoustic panels actually... I think that would be a new years project.

    Merry Christmas.
