Quadraspire setup

Posted by: Richard P on 20 June 2001

I would like to reclaim some floor space by putting my CDX/82/NAPSC/HICAP/250/Lingo onto my 5 shelf Quadraspire stand. Currently the CDX is on the top, then the 82, then a gap, then the HICAP, and finally the 250. The Lingo and the NAPSC are on an old Sound Org 2 shelf stand. Any recommendations about what should go where, or am I better off with the current arrangement, and less floor?

I have a simialr set up and stand. I have picked up advice in previous threads that moving NAPSC away from the pre-amp is worthwhile and it does actually seem to be the case. I also keep speaker cables and power/snaic cables away from each other in the cluster at the back-easiest if the power amp is at the bottom of the stack.

I suspect any moment now someone is going to tell you to buy MANA instead....

Experiment with putting the CDX on different levels - i've found that putting it nearer the bottom can tighten up the bass, however on the top shelf the sound was slightly softer.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am now trying the NAPSC on the floor under the stand. The Lingo will go in the gap, when I set up the turntable again. The stand is now nice and wobbly!
