Hi all-
Thanks for all the good ideas and I'm happy to provide more details on my system. The cd player (Hegel Viking) is 16 pounds. It sits on a shelf in a built in wood cabinet (not audio equipment). The room is small -9 by 11- and there is no possibility of putting a real audio rack in it. The Viking is connect to a Brinkmann Vollverstärker amplifier, and that powers Trenner and Fried Suns (sitting on Sound Anchor stands). Cables, interconnects, and power cords are Triode Wire Cables.
Many thanks! Margot
