kudos to PianoManChuck showing how he solved the problem.
I prefer black doorstops over the industrial yellow
I don't have or need a desk for my Kronos. My 88 is on a quik lok WS 550 table top stand.
I carefully inserted the doorstops under the 88 and made sure my 88 was stable.
I think it adds about 10 degrees of needed angle for the LCD. Now I don't feel like I am losing my vision. Its much less a struggle to work on edits, the SEQ etc.
It is a little weird to adapt to playing the keys with this work around. But its doable and worth it, IMO

I put a 2x4 under the back feet of mine. A 2x4 in the USA measures 1.5"x3.5"

that will work.
I could have used a steel girder from a construction project.
But I went with small and easy

cool video!
I use the same thing to get a good viewing angle.
Only difference is my doorstops are black.
I got my doorstops at a dollar store.

LOL. I got my door stops at a garage sale.
But I have no problem spending $400 on VI's.
Whatever works,,

Back in the 90s I was going through my garage and found a brand new pair of rubber sway bar bushings from a car I no longer had. At first I was going to toss 'em but then got this stupid ass idea to put them on my X stand to give my 01/W some tilt. Turns out it worked like a charm. Since there so many sizes of bushings available you can get a pair that will fit perfectly...if you're so inclined.

I got mine free and it ended up being 6" shorter then my x61, fit perfectly and 1.5" was ideal for me. I like free.

Nice, I too have mine inclined, but since I use a stand, I use a thick Wooden beam about 2.5" cross.Underneach the rear, the feet under Kronos act as a lock and prevent any slippage.
