Thanks guys. I have found that built-ins, especially when built in old homes like mine (90 years old), is harder than it would seem. All of the construction elements of those shelves is simple....the problem is that old houses are not in square. You have to measure everything you cut to fit the out-of-square house.
@lowrider57 The TT is sitting directly on the marble. Do you think cones for such a cheap unit would help?
Its funny, its just an old mid-level Sony. When I got it the cart was damaged and one of the hinges for the dust cover was gone. Several Linn models use the same hinge. It cost me $35 shipped from England. The Grado Black cart was like $100. The pre-amp is also a cheap-o ($50). So I've got like $185 invested in the old TT. That is still cheaper than buying something like a new low end U-Turn. Anyway, it allows me to listen to my few old LP's and the occasional new one that I buy to help the local vinyl store stay around. ;-)
