>That 2 tier is a back breaker.<

I agree, however, it does force one to kneel appropriately at the altar of vinyl worship :D. I practically have to lie face down on the floor to tune the tuner (Naim), thankfully I usually only listen to CBC Radio 2 (like your NPR) as most of the rest sound crap.

Thanks again for your advice. I will mull over the options for a bit and then do something. I really do hate the hassle of mounting the wall shelf, but my gut instincts tell me that it would be the best option performance wise. I originally bought the SO wall shelf as my table was located quite near to the speakers, and in too tight of a space to accomodiate a dedicated floor stand.

Since taking it down, a friend has kindly given me his old Target TT1, and by chance I recently stumbled upon a used Rega wall shelf at the local dealers for $50. that I just couldn't pass up. In summary, I now have quite a collection of various types lying about the place. I guess that it is time to get the tools out again.

BTW, is that your Roxy X on Mana wall iron in your site pics? I always did like the original Xerses, but haven't yet had an opportunity to hear any of the later models.
