Looking good. What is the rack, it looks good?

Yurivv, I am probably speaking out of ignorance, but how do you get such nice stuff in Russia. It must be very expensive and rare especially the old classic Naims.
So in my flickr album you can find a large amount of Naim gear that was in my home system.
I mostly win the vintage Naim gear on British ebay. I have a British agent, a company that helps Russians to buy in UK by providing a British address, so ebay seller use a British address for delivery (this is not against the ebay rules - I have addresses in Britain, Germany, USA). So I have to pay for the lot + UK delivery, as well as for the services of an agent (these fees are actually very small) and delivery to Russia. On average, this logistics costs 40 - 120 pounds, depending on weight and size. But sometimes much more.
Russian Naim community is quite small, and one might say that I know most of the people. They mostly gather in a couple of russian audio forums. I dare to say that I am a well-known person in the Russian internet audio community, as a reviewer and co-founder of the Russian Naim club, and sometimes I help my friends and fellow Naim fans to buy vintage Naim gear. So in my flickr album you can find a large amount of Naim gear that was in my home system.

It's a shame about your dog... how big was the truck that hit it?

however those photos are so good I would love to know what the least expensive camera would be to achieve the same image quality?
There you go. With the NS1000 and a British Blue!
Aren't the 800's a bit too close to the wall?
Had a (quality) repro for about 10 years. Looks the part but never found it comfortable. Sold it earlier this year. Don’t miss it. Oddly enough, my sons loved it. Must just be me!Eames Lounge Chair.

They do look it; nor do they seem toed in. I don't know where they're vented (as it's not the front) but if from the rear, they'll need a bit of space, I'd imagine. Can't believe these are almost as heavy as my old ProAc Response Fours (133kg each).
To keep things in topic, I did have a rug but one of my cats was sick on it while I was at work and unfortunately was beyond saving!
You don't have to buy an expensive camera to make decent photos, if we talk about hi-fi. Almost any modern DSLR or MILC can do this job. Although I'm using Nikon D600, it's not nesessary to use full-frame DSLR. For example one can buy any APSC-sensor Nikon camera and Nikkor 35/1.8 DX lens (plus Nikkor 40/2.8 DX Micro if you want more close shots). I recommend (and use) only the fast prime lenses. But the light is what really nesessary! The natural light is absolutely must! Use the cheapest tripod that can hold your camera (in terms of weight), because shutter speeds are too long for handheld shooting when using basic ISO. And a little practice of course.
