Nearfield listening with JBL 500 passive speakers
This is my first try with this kind of set up. So far I’d say that by positioning yourself nearfield you can compensate for a lot of deficiencies in the system and make something mediocre sound a tad above its grade.

I’ve been using this for a couple of months now. I can give it a qualified thumbs up, however it’s not without its (minor) issues. Although I didn’t find any, I’m sure there are other market options out there. And if not, I suspect they’re coming. It’s a great idea for your analog system.

Brief update now that I’ve cut the shelves. The MDF was a 3’ by 2’ board and was already heavy as Sam Hill. I’m so glad I didn’t need to by a full 4x8! It cost about $22, so I’m up to about $55 so far. Could do this less expensively but, oh well. Part three should be the last of it. Coming as soon as paint dries.

    I currently use a Victor (JVC) as my daily player, and it is immense! It is a top of the line model (QL A95), and you'd have to spend a couple of grand to get anything modern that could even come close to it. If anyone fancies a JVC table, I'd definitely recommend something from the QL range (A95, A75, A70, Y7, Y44f, etc). The Japanese kept a lot of really, really nice stuff for the home market only so a step-down transformer is a must.

    Why not just use a sturdy table? You said the floor is poured concrete. A good table will not transfer any more vibration from the floor a wall attached to the floor will. Set the table on rubber mat like used in a garage or workshop. If you want, put the turntable on the same material.

      @@notwilson395 BK is absolutely right. A turntable shelf should not be in 'free space' like that, merely anchored to the wall studs, even if you're on a concrete slab. Also, you need to take the cover off as it will pick up on the sound vibrations in the air, particularly if you have a good subwoofer.

    Non ported does mean you can get them closer to the walls without much of a change in bass. I would maybe toe them in a bit. The Sansui is very nice.

      Love the Sansui. Its warm and has quite good reception. I like to listen to FM so that's important to me. I read lots about closed box, rear port, front port and some people swear by one thing and some another. That is, there does not seem to be consensus. Its kink of like speaker cables - do they make any difference of not? These speakers sound great but regardless, I can't get them any further from the wall anyhow because my wife keeps pushing them back in.

I do like some Hohners (the Amp) is good...loud and responsive.....Recently I went back to Lee Oskar. They seem to be very responsive and reliable....and affordable. I'm a semi pro level player and harp teacher and sometimes I hit them pretty hard...they have held up so far and I'm very happy with them. Not sure why the pros have a problem with them, although I suspect it may have something to do with them being made in Japan.
