Today, I spent a few hours assisting @djb to down-size his 2 racks ... to 1 rack. He got rid of 3 components but we had to go up 1 shelf in height, compared to what he had before. However, the TT - obviously on the top shelf - is still manageable. 
Here is a pic of his room when we had taken apart his racks (pic taken through his front window):
Here is a pic of his new rack, from the listening chair (aka 'the sweet spot'!):
What this has done is given David more space between the inside of this tweeter panels and the rack - so he can more easily play around with tweeter-panel toe-in. (Before, the tweeter panels were jammed up against the racks.)
So this should give you folk who are coming for a listen on Wednesday, a decided increase in SQ over what David had before! 
The devices are - from the floor up:

My listening room is quite small 3.8m x 3.5m x 2.4m high and thus close to square. However behind the seating position is a back 'wall' that is all built-in wardrobes with fairly thin hollow doors. The dimensions without the doors would make the room 4.4 x 3.5 which are better ratios acoustically re: low frequencies. One option is to remove the doors (the result would be a bit untidy) however I am wondering about the ability of bass frequencies to pass through these doors.
So my question is whether some or all of the low frequencies pass through the doors and 'see' the room as 4.4 x 3.5? If not am I better off removing them?
I sit 2m from the speakers which are about 1.5m out from the from wall with about 0.4m behind me to the doors. I'm using quite a bit of homemade room treatment and things are sounding pretty good.

Hi,
I am new to Stereonet and am hoping for help with a problem I am having setting up my Clear audio Performance DC turntable which I have only recently purchased.
I have set up what I believe to be correct VTA - if anything the back of the tonearm is slightly higher than the cartridge by perhaps 1mm or so. I set up tracking force using a stylus gauge to the recommended 2.4 g for the Virtuoso 2 cartridge. The turntable comes with preset antiskating to this recommended tracking force. Unfortunately, the antiskating knob is very difficult to get to and has NO calibrations of any kind.
Anyway, with the recommended tracking force there was obvious and immediate distortion. So I rang a technician. Advice : the problem has to do with inadequate tracking force. He advised it is ok to increase tracking force to anything up to 3.5. I use Famous Blue Raincoat as my reference as i know this record well. I increase tracking force and it makes an appreciable difference to distortion. Finally at about 3 g the distortion I think is gone.
However, then i put on another record and the distortion is very clearly back. I have to increase tracking force to beyond acceptable limits - 3.6 to make it go away.
And so it goes on.
Any idea what is going on? Help would be most appreciated as this is driving me quite mad. It is a beautiful turntable and when i can actually get it to play it sounds really quite astounding.

Location: E-Bay
Price: $100 US
Item Condition: USED
Reason for selling: Shutodwn of Duplication Factory
Payment Method: Pay-Pal
Extra Info: For anyone who is interested, there's a guy in e-bay who is selling 100+ Plextor Premium II CD Writers. He seems to have shut down his duplicating factory and is getting rid of all his hardware. Have a look at the link below
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Plextor-Premium-2-/172126786849?hash=item28138e5521:g:buIAAOSwP~tW30DK
This isn't mine. I just put this as a notification for anyone who is interested in buying. I'm gonna buy 2 from this guy. The actual product is on E-Bay.
However, I asked the obvious question from the seller (How used are these drives ?) and below is the explanation I got.
"these drives are the best we have ever used in our lab and we liked them so much we bought every one in the World in 2007. Im not kidding. We called plextor and purchased every single one they produced and had in their supply chain. They are rock solid drives and you should be able to produce thousands more discs off of each one.
All of these drives were pulled working from our large scale duplication department. When we shut down we had over 200 of these drives in large scale duplicators with another few hundred in reserve. Each drive is tested to make sure there is no E32 or C2 errors. Thats the best I can say about them.
I would say each drive burned hundreds to a thousand discs. There is still a lot of life left in these drives. "
