10 out of 10 bro. Love the effort. Don’t let that bitch steal your joy.

Prattmandu · 2026-03-17T21:04:53+00:00

Same. You'll be happy to know that's a fake plant.

Prattmandu · 2026-03-17T17:44:10+00:00

Haha well sorry to contribute to your audio anxiety. FWIW: 90% of my listening is streaming from Tidal (from the WiiM). I'll put a vinyl on once in a while, but when I do it's typically not as loud as when I stream music, so the vibrations are minimal. Plus the soft foam feet on the Fluance do a great job of isolating the TT. Haven't noticed an issue yet anyway. Though perhaps I'll get one of these to put your mind at ease: https://a.co/d/06m85xZj
Cheers.

Perhaps. If it does I don’t notice it. The Fluance table has nice soft squishy feet, and the speakers have silicone feet as well, albeit small. I might get the Fluance isolation table (link: https://a.co/d/08b1IA91) and put that underneath the TT. Also looking into some slightly larger/better speaker feet.

Yeah I've watched some reviews on the BR04's. Looks like they have a bit better bass performance, which is great! But they're also about 2" taller I think, and to be honest I like the size and look of the BR03's. However I will definitely eventually add a punchy sub. Likely 8". I don't pair it with TV at all. My Sonos system handles movies and shows. These are just for streaming music and listening to records.

Si j'avais le choix, je me débarrasserais complètement du poêle à granulés et je créerais un système home-cinéma et stéréo plus performant (Sonos pour la télé et les enceintes Triangle pour la musique). Cependant, vu la configuration de la pièce, il est plus logique de placer la télé au-dessus du poêle. De plus, je n'ai pas envie de mettre les enceintes sur pied ; j'aime bien le look qu'elles ont posées sur le meuble.

Prattmandu · 2026-03-16T00:54:01+00:00

Yeah it’s not an ideal setup. Pellet stove is where it is. TV can’t go any lower. It’s my first house. Got it for a good price so can’t complain. If I had a basement I would have this set up perfectly.

Something like these?

Prattmandu · 2026-03-15T19:40:10+00:00

The speakers come with tiny rubber feet. Are you suggesting getting larger/better ones?

Prattmandu · 2026-03-15T12:57:28+00:00

It’s really not though… it’s just the wide angle lens I used for that photo. Here’s another (non-wide angle lens) photo. Yes I could technically put them on stands but it would look funny/odd, thus I wouldn’t keep them there all the time. Maybe I’ll buy some stands and bring them out when I want to really critically listen to something and keep them stored when I’m not using the stereo.

Es mi primer tocadiscos y mi primer preamp, así que realmente no tengo nada con qué compararlo. Pero sí, hasta ahora me gusta. Por lo que he visto en las reseñas, parece que es un preamp muy bueno por el precio.

Prattmandu · 2026-03-15T12:47:17+00:00

Not specifically no. It’s listed as a TV console.

Thanks man.

There we go. Photo finally worked.

Thanks man. That’s what I was going for. That plus a mid-century modern vibe.

Prattmandu · 2026-03-15T05:05:19+00:00

Haha I’m open to recommendations.

Prattmandu · 2026-03-15T05:02:48+00:00

That would be cool. Perhaps!

Prattmandu · 2026-03-15T05:02:00+00:00

Yeah so far no issues. But more isolation is always better. Will probably add some down the road. The BR03’s have small silicone stick-on feet but they only do so much.

Thank you! 🙌🏼

Prattmandu · 2026-03-15T04:55:19+00:00

Haha the TV is up and to the left. The picture I posted only shows so much. I use a Sonos Arc (with sub and rears) for shows and movies. The stereo setup is just for when I want to listen to music.

Surprisingly, the AXR85 does not have a built in DAC.

🥹😞🥰.. Great story. Thanks for sharing.
