LACK Rack mk II

just noticed my spelling mistake: 'beautifully crafted woden music'

anyone have any of this early music - blue period?? But do I confuse Wode, the Nordic God and woad, the plant dye much favoured by Brits of old?

I got the spikes from Falcon Acoustics.

About half way down the page: http://www.falcon-acoustics.co.uk/pl28p9.htm

As you can see, all that is needed is a short 7mm hole in the centre of the leg and then hammer the spike base in (gently). Then just screw the spike into the base.

Be sure to protect the table top with card or something when seating the next level up. Then remove the cards one by one as you place the spike cups. A teensy (3mm) blob of Blu-tak stops the cups from moving.

thanks Chris! must order some for my own LACK table. hopefully it will help cut down the transmission of floor vibration to the CD player and stop it skipping if I step too hard.

Well spikes never stopped CD skipping with the Optimum or Quadraspire. What stops the CD skipping is the 30mm paving slab :)

I think that a 30mm paving slab would stop anyone skipping ...
 
Thanks for the example ... it fits my (and more notably my Wife's) requirements ... especially since the Lack tables are available in Oak Veneer. Had a Corrus solution until now but it isn't flexible enough.

Just one thing - the Wife won't take the paving slab ... would a piece of marble worktop do the job or would you recommed something else ... it has to be cosmetically satisfying as well as practical.
 
I achieved fantastic isolation by placing 50mm thick granite onto a piece of 25mm expanded polystyrene sheet. Keep the poly 25mm under the granite size, and paint the edges with emulsion. Looks good and works very well

falcon acoustics have died a death. where can i get nice spikes like these (the black atacama spikes are not too attractive)?

Mine aren't. The cheapskates must have changed the design :mad:

I notice that the beech LACK tables are now beech effect vinyl or somesuch whereas the ones I used were beech wood veneer.

I've stopped shopping at IKEA now because their standards have fallen so low they are now no better than Argos/Homebase/MFI/etc...

Shame :(

Hi all,

[...]
Any vynl fans should check out the Expidit book case. Mine (pictured) is in the black brown wood and is the smaller £69.00 model, there is a bigger one at £99.00 It also comes in birch and white. As you can see from the bottom shelf it is great for LP's.

Each shelf holds about 70 LP's btw.
