We dare say that compared with most hi-fi racks the reproduction becomes more harmonious and more engaging with the Harmon<font color=#ff9090><strong>i</strong></font> Oden. <P> We also offer a Harmon<font color=#ff9090><strong>i</strong></font> kit which includes all the aluminum posts and hardware but allows you to make the wooden shelves yourself to build an Oden. <HR> </td></tr> <tr><td> <H2>History </H2> <IMG SRC="../bilder/oden2-litenb.jpg"> </td></tr> <tr><td> <LI>Introduction: The first Harmon<font color=#ff9090><strong>i</strong></font> racks were manufactured in April 1999. <P><LI>1999 - Upgrading washers in June <BR> More than 10 years ago - forget exactly what ... <P><LI> Tor-Kit damping 2000 (not to be confused with the current Tor) <BR> Special rubber mountings.

Oden 2 is composed partly of "top-nuts" of solid aluminum, which fit on top of the uppermost shelf. This is not just to create a more stylish look, but a consequence of the other changes leaving a threaded rod sticking up through the top shelf. Moreover, certain washers have been replaced with nuts to stabilize the shelf better. On the bottom shelf, the spring washer was changed and moved beneath the shelf instead. <P> Goal of the upgrade: <P><UL> <LI>improved music reproduction <LI>less need for traction <LI> replacement of "ugly" top screws</UL> <P> <LI>Oden 2.5 upgrade in 2006 <P>Oden 2.5 is simply a fine-tuning, and consisted of changing the nuts to flange nuts for increased stability (where necessary). The result is more order in the music and a more pleasant sound. </TD> </TABLE><P> </TD></TR></TABLE> </BODY> </HTML>
