Kingbr - one of the main reasons I messed around with the rack was to pull it out away from the wall more as I hated trying to manipulate all the cabling whenever I swapped preamps.
I had listened to about five records with the Karat installed. Probably not much more than 10 records total on the table (at least from me as I bought it used).
I’m not a vinyl only guy for sure. 98% of my listening is streaming, but I had a decent rig for when the urge to listen to a record hit, as I have several thousand LPs. I’ll bring my old Thorens out for now.
elliott - some people act when in those situations while others just watch and grimace, it appears.
