Show us Your Kit!

Yes, but his new middle name is Merlin.

 

hi Alco

I'm not a proper audiophile, I tighten mine up and to hell with the experts.

It's in the classifieds. I've gone a bit Japanese. The Sonneteer amp's staying though.

Really nice Ian.

We must pay you that visit soon. What's that transparent box to the side of the transport?

 

You must indeed. The transparent box is full of various TT bits (record and stylus brushes, spirit level, spare cart bits). These bits work better on a decent support. Probably.

-- Ian

 

Ian, it looks really cool

Any pictures of your new speakers? I havent seen them yet.

Chris

 

Your wish is my command.

OK - Here goes with mine (and no sniggering at the back about 'flat earthers'....)

Michell Orbe SE/Roksan Tabrizzi/Ortofon Jubilee
Naim CDX/XPS
Naim 52/Supercap
2 x Naim 135'S
ununsed snaxo 3-6 (awaiting other amps....)
Linn Isobarik PMS
Sony Minidisc

Liostening almost exclusively to vinyl at the moment, so although going active would be nice I am considering upgrades to arm/phono stage, or maybe look at better supports (currently Apollo modular thingies)

 

Must ... resist ... old joke about the Isobarik sounding as well-balanced and nice as a woman with ... must ... resist ...

 

Hey Markus - relax - I'd probably like the joke as well.

Personally I always thought well balanced+nice=dull (but I guess a falt earther would say that

 

Simon - you're not the only flat earther on here. Welcome to the forum

Michael.

 

Oops- where's me manners - of course, Simon, welcome, and I'm a bit of a closet flat earther myself.

 

some minor updates to my kit - plus the speakers all caught up with here:

it has been requested that you fit a passive volume control on your curtains thus

 

Let them talk Julian. Just jealousy.

I showed your speakers to my wife. She won't have them (she commented on the curtains too, won't repeat).

Below is all she'll let me have. In fact I first got the S300/S500i combo, and she insisted on my getting the matching tuner (she'd first said the combo was too much money, then the old black tuner was not cute enough...).



and this is what I see from my listening station :



The speakers are MB Quart from Germany. WAF was OK. So was the sound.

Have you made a decision on the finish of your speakers yet ?

Cheers

I think Julian is going to finish them to match the curtains

 

Oops, I was just kindly reminded that I am not supposed to rest my feet on the coffee table ...

Nice pictures Sir Galahad, and an excellent choice of electronics if I may say so. Looks very much like you've got some proper music on the shelves too, which is always nice to see.

 

Hi PeteH,

Actually that's the shelf where letter M ("Mozart") starts. B to L is elsewhere. I say "B to L" because in my own musical alphabet Bach comes first, then Allegri, Albeniz et al. squeeze in before old Ludwig Von B. I see they have a good Bach Cantatas thread going on. I'll try to join in one of these nights.

I'm really happy with the Nad amp. and CDP. My old speakers sound so different (in fact they sound the way they did when I heard them at the dealer's 15 years ago, driven by Audio Reasearch amps. I'm no high-end freak, and do not upgrade that often ...
Like Michael says, spend your money on CDs ...

Cheers

Renaud

Lovely room, do you have any old curtains you no longer require?

 

Sorry, we just moved in. I'll have to wait for the wife to grow tired of our current curtains, then I'll see what I can do.
