:small_blue_diamond:Jan,…Glad to hear :smiley:,It must have been…

:black_small_square:Göran Rudling,.then,the owner of High Fidelity…and distributor for Linn and Naim in Sweden.
Or/And…
:black_small_square:Stefan Mether,.then employed at High Fidelity…now among other things a dealer of Naim since many,many years you met at High Fidelity.

It was Göran Rudling who discovered this, with that “cut out” Ikea Lack worked as good basis for LP12,.and electronics from Linn and Naim.
Linn also had these “cut out” Ikea Lack,in there listening room at the factory in Scotland.

I think Naim also had these in Salisbury, but that perhaps Richard knows more about.
But this spread across the world,.as the best basis for LP12 and electronics at the time.
And…It still works very well.

But preferably then,if you take the original table from the -80s.
Today’s Ikea Lack has a little different construction.
But this I have written about on the old forum.

:small_orange_diamond:But as I said,.discoverer of this was Göran Rudling,former distributor of Linn and Naim in Sweden…and former owner of High Fidelity in Stockholm.

Welcome MartinK. A lovely set up, and interesting to see TAD speakers on the forum - what Naim kit is feeding them?

Very nice Kevin! - love the Shahinian speakers. Heard my first pair a couple of weeks ago and they are special.

The old Naim demo room at the factory (now the cafeteria) used to have Lack tables, but it was before my time at the factory so Paul S could probably tell you more about this.

Hi,

I’m relatively new to this forum, and this is my system:

Specifically: Pro-Ject RPM Carbon 3, Grado Prestige Blue, Naim Stageline N/TC, ND5 XS2, Vertere Pulse D-Fi IC, Naim Nait XS2/TC, Ovator S-400.

Some may recognize the room. It’s still my old living room, it’s my life that has changed.
Best,
W

Ops, I forgot the NAC A5. Thanks for the likes and the welcome.

This is my modest system in my mancave at the bottom of the garden. Keeps me out of trouble!

How tall are you? Either it’s a small door or the turntable is well out of reach of . . . almost everyone.

It’s a small door, but the shelf is possibly a bit high. The platter is 1.4m from the ground. It’s fine, but I may lower it. Fortunately, we’ve not yet finished the decor so holes can be filled and painted…

Ciao A,

it’s my pleasure,

Max

Why is the LP-12 mounted so high or I could ask: How tall are you?

:small_blue_diamond:Jan,…Interesting.

This I have to try later,.I have still 6-8 table of Ikea Lack original.
But not used them since maybe 1994-95.

I bought a preloved Mana Acoustic with a Soundbase (see picture from my garage) for about 7-8 weeks ago.
I was thinking of having this Mana-shelf for my headphone-system.
It’ll be interesting to compare it with Ikea Lack.

:small_orange_diamond:Jan,.when you thought Ikea Lack was better,.did you set up your Mana-shelf optimally.
So that the glass “sounded” right etc,etc.?

:black_small_square:I ask for we have compared Mana, Ikea Lack, Naim Fraim etc.
And with a LP12 so we thought Mana was better than Ikea Lack.
