A little review wouldn't come amiss.

Thanks,

The TD124 now sports an SME IV

I have sold the Bardo, and my 20/12 V12 arrives tomorrow, I have changed my phonostage too.

I will post updated pics next week.

Royal Oak , did you sell the bardo because the td was sufficiently close in sound quality for you not to miss it ?

A bit old, will have to update next week. But lets see if I have this pic posting thing right.

A nice looking set up.

Yamaha NS1000, after a Botox cure.

Nice work .

Cheers! Plenty of hard work, sweat and dust went into the making of that.

Fair do's RK - that's what I call commitment.

Oh yeah, sorry, do you mean me? My speakers, as Markus says, are Yamaha NS-1000Ms - but somewhat customised and on custom stands with custom super-tweeters perched on top.

RACK KIT. What a fitting pseudonym ! As said, a real commitment, both in sterling and sterling effort. Do hope you put in a decent dedicated mains system when you were doing that.

Record player? Michell? Can only see the silver chassis. Thought I saw Naim there somewhere, too .

 

[YNWOAN]

His whole system is Rega and Naim Mike - including the turntable.

There's the odd bit of Naim if you look closely - haha!

Cheers Mike. Yeah, there's 3 double sockets behind the 2 channel bits that have their own circuit back to the MCB. The Naim AV bits also run from it via a long extension lead. The Blu-ray player, Virgin box, Wifi router etc running from 4 double sockets below the tv which are on the rest of the room sockets. I admit, a lot of thought and effort went into this one.

A bit of a move-around - putting the PL-71 onto the old Audiotech table (which usually spends its time gathering dust in the garage) has brought about a not-subtle improvement in sonics.



Finding the A30 sings very nicely into the dinky Q's...

Are you into vinyl, by any chance? Which cart's are using on the V12 and the Four (think it's a Four), and do you have the facility to have both connected simultaneously to your phono stage?

If the two cart's are remotely similar, you could get a pretty good handle on perceived differences between 12" and 9" to augment observations made on a recent thread on this subject.

I'd love two quality turntable set-ups, but space restricts me to only having the option of adding an extra arm/cart. to my existing deck, unfortunately.
