We talk a lot here about stands and supports. We all agree that something to put your equipment on is better than nothing. Naim's latterday advice that it all sounds great on the shagpile is a memory.
So I'm asking the question because I'm genuinely interested in what people are using and whether they are happy. There is so much to choose from ranging from Fraim and Wilson Benesch to the late Brian D's warped home made attempt to the late Vuk's majestic creations to Blzebub's . . . hold on a minute, why are so many stand characters no longer with us?
I digress. For the record I have a sawn up SO rack with a sheet of ally and three SoundFrames for the LP12. A 4 tier standard Base rack for CDS2/Linto/DVL100/Lingo and a 3 tier standard Base rack for the DVHX1.2 and CDPS (with an empty shelf between them).
I have Nordost Pulsar Points under the CDS2 & CDPS and 2 Base platforms under the CDP just for fun.
Each of the 3 stands is as far apart as the leads allow.
I am happy with the above arrangement and do not aspire to anything different.
I am fortunate to listen at work and not care what anything looks like.

I use Target wall shelves for all my kit(I have 6 already installed with several more in the loft ready as my system expands) I replaced the chipboard shelves with (painted)18mm MDF. Each piece of kit is also sitting on Foculpods(except the turntable).The sound is fantastic, especially the turntable. I think they look smart, are immune to feed back from the floor(I have a 1935 suspended floor) and it makes cleaning/hoovering much easier

Dave-bub,

Shouldn't Capt. Kirk be mounted over the analog device and Picard be placed to Kirk's left?
Yes, of course.
The pix were too big to post as attachments so I had to link the images from Vuk's Web site, which means I'm held hostage to his digital shenanigans. You've seen what he can do in the digital realm -- pink toenails, girls with weird star tatoos, Sam Fox nudies on the wall (and why Sam Fox? ...this chick is way hotter) -- so maybe I should just be thankful he didn't replace Captain Kirk with a Denebian slime devil or something.

My short but unsatisfying experiment with Stylast. Actually, the stuff works. Too bad it gums up your coils.
