The footprint of the Dais is quite large, with the non-optional base and the separate motor unit out the back. It doesn't fit on a standard mana erection. Certainly not the alter my old LP12 was on (now under the Revox). The standard rack is too high and also too small.

Additionally Tom Fletcher asserted on a number of occasions that his decks like a solid base. I have taken this assertion to heart and it sits on a 75cm square and 5cm deep slab of granite. It sounds gosh darned nice as well. Hopefully Guru Fletcher will approve from his place of enlightenment.
One day I will get some big sheets of glass made up and stick the Dais on one of the R2R stacks. This "one day" is going to be quite busy as I will also be running a marathon, re-reading Ulysses, visiting Tibet, working for Médecins Sans Frontières and creating the most perfect salt and pepper chilli squid that the world has ever seen. That sort of one day I will get around to it.

Oooh, have you moved? What's the new room like? FWIW I never felt the old L-shaped space did the system justice, just too different an acoustic behind each speaker.
PS Tom Fletcher hated spiked metal stands etc - "all kinds of wrong" to his mind (I had a good chat with him at an audio show back in the late '90s when he was demming the Analog and Hyperspace). He recommended a nice solid wooden table, a lovely and very hefty example of which he'd brought with him.

Tony - I'm now west of the Pennines, yet actually further away from you than I was before (Cumbria - in sight of Scotland over the Solway Firth).
According to Markus I have stolen your fireplace.
The room acoustics are rather good, and so far I've just stuck the Quads in the most logical place - I will experiment with positioning after I've got used to the start point with some familiar and favourite sides.
I'll go take some pictures so you can get an idea of the listening room space... ...hmm - had to use a crappy lens to get everything in...

Jonathan,
You need one of these, too, even though I have no idea what it does.

I do now!

Lovely room, I agree.
Obviously now fully protected by the angle-poise army, so whoever Marvin is I think he may be surplus to requirements.

A correctly installed Marvin The Martian for reference.
Very nice Tony, excuse my ignorance but are they Tannoys?

Looks like one of Sonics friends?

Very elegant. Far more pleasing to the eye than a pile of kit with a rats nest of cables!

Tony, hate the fireplace, love the AVO 7!
Art Deco never goes out of style, dude.
Alco's stylish minimalism is cool too.
JR's many reels make me envious though ....
Mr Tibbs
this was mine before I moved to London, we're in the process of moving again so no up to date pics for now
Lovely looking speakers. What make and model are they?

Thanks for looking.
