Question Suggestions for foundational parts of a longer term vinyl setup

[RTHerringbone]

Just checked the supplied plate size on the Atacama Moseco, 130mm wide x 170mm deep, a good fit for the Neats I would say.

I've just got some modest Kanto stands at the moment and their plate literally mimics the footprint of the Classics. I may upgrade the stands at some point but I'll see how they get on in a normal and rotated orientation. Stands are one of the many, many audiophile things I'm a bit sceptical about.

Did you notice any tangible "burn in" benefits? I looked back on your Classics thread and you seemed pleased straight out of the box. Did they develop noticeably or were they just good from the off for you?

I think they were pretty good straight out the box and any burn in must have been subtle...I didn't notice any big difference.....they just sound fantastic with any amp I've used, Primaluna Dialogue premium hp, Mytec Brooklyn amp plus, Electrocompaniet eci80d and my current Electrocompaniet Eci 6mkii has taken them to a different level.

Right, we're off! Early impression is that the finish is nicer than I remember at Audio T and they're also slightly larger than I recall too. These were little buggers to get out of the plastic wrappers inside the box.

Time to work on some listening impressions.

Can you not move them further apart? They seem a tad close.
