    A simple enough set-up which is housed in a tiny back bedroom (8ftx8ft). It's taken me about a year and a lot of chopping and changing to get a system that works well in the space and satisfies me musically. I've had bigger and more expenisve components but couldn't get them to gel satisfactorily.

    PS. Sorry for my knobbly knees appearing in the first photo - the rooms so small I can't go back any further!! Must get a wider angle lens.

    Equip: Linn Ikemi, Primare A30.1 MK2, Aurum Cantus Leisure 2SE.
    Cables: Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval XLR interconnect and
    Black Oval 9 speaker cable.
    Supports: Blok 600 Rack with Base Isolation Platforms.
    Speaker Stands are Something Solid 4X4.

    I know the temptation is very difficult to resist:D

    The rack used to be in the lounge with my TV, SKY, PS3, Squeezbox etc, in it.

    It's such a nice rack that when it failed to get a bid on ebay I moved it upstairs where it replaced an Ikea Lack table.

    One day when I move to a bigger house that extra space will be very useful:D

    Hey, I've seen that Ikemi before...!

    Oh yeah, it's on E-bay at present, no? Nearly put in a bid myself... :)

    What are you replacing it with?

    Sorry, just saw this.

    I was, but the Leak was on a long term from a very kind gentleman named Ian (Sideshowbob) and has now gone back to him. It was replaced by a Luxman L-31.
