Amp

Pictures of the amp Zapsolute Mk4 a Danish DIY project sold by http://www.lcaudio.dk I traded it for a Krell KST 100 ( yes i know not the best they ever made) but expensive anyway. This Danish amp pure class A or with a switch AB sounded so much better than KST 100 and cost about 1/3 of Krell. It`s not for sale anymore this i bought from them assembled it was their "demo amp" probably the last one, i think it was in the end of the 90`s. It`s still kicking and sound fantastic on my Sl3. They still sell a lot of god stuff at this site if you want to upgrade cd`players and also good digitalamplifiers (DIY) all at reasonable prices. I have made a new top cover of acrylic glass because i like to show the inside of this amp :D.

Welcome Sven. Nice-looking system. I have SL3s as well. Really different rack; from the front it looks like everything's floating.

Is there a possibility of putting more space between the speakers and the front wall?
 
Thanks Bernard. When i listen to music i pull them about 1,5 meters from the wall and also move them more apart. I only have them like this because of the room, you have to pass in front of them to reach the other room so they only "rest" like this.
it was my intention to build the rack so it looks like they are floating ;) I like your system too specially the turntable i`m also a vinyl fan, i have an old Thorens TD 165 it works good but i`m building a new chassie i acrylic glass, and i will switch tonearm to a Rega 250.
