I've got AC/DC Back in Black (on vinyl, natch) if that's any good?

New pics. Same system, repositioned speakers

After adding my LP12 to my Uniti mynas loving it I decided to hunt down and restore another second hand LP12 to go with my attic system.

I'm really enjoying the difference between the 2 TT's and thanks to Peter Swain I managed to set this up myself.

CK, why did you change positions and what has it brought in your opinion?

 

[Cereal Killer]

Well, initially was brought on in the needs for a 'spring clean' around the back of the speakers/stands, and also the 'BackWall' thread of a few days back where folk were discussing room proportions, nulls and optimal seating positions. Given that I have good room dims and an excellent seating position, thought I'd give the speaker placement a tweak.

What's improved; bass response, soundstage and 3D'ness. Funny how moving speakers further away from the rear wall has created more bass, something I wasn't expecting.

I love the way you've managed to balance that turntable on two cones...

This is better - got my tripod back now.

Great low key shots. Like that.

And a bit of a tidy up, probably the nicest any of my various systems has ever looked!

I have not set up a hi fi system at home because of my 1 year old son. I listen to music only during lunchtime using a headphone based system:

Lenovo laptop, ALAC files, iTune
Musical Fidelity V-DAC powered by a BBH (Farnell) power supply
Schiit Valhalla headphone amp
Sennheiser HD600 headphones

This system gives me joy and peace for half an hour every day at work.

Try to erase your memory connection between the pipe and pee and poo....

I actually purchased those pipe thingy from koi pond centre. Does this make you guys feel better?

I have now listen to them for 2 years, I had wharfedale EVO-40, BMW 685, and Lowther PM6a + acousta 115 with a couple of solid and tube amps before them and used to upgrade every 8-12 months. I have stop upgrading since I have this toilet thing.

Their name is Pluto 2.1, created by Siegfried Linkwitz, YES the Linkwitz in Linkwitz-Riley crossover and most of you guys are listening to the music through the crossover everyday.
