Glad you are chuffed Ged. The quality of Fraser's cabinet work is as good as any I've seen, top notch and a lovely bloke too.

I'm over the moon with them Frank along with the restoration work you did on the drivers/crossovers.

Yes, top bloke Fraser - shame we all had to head off home from your place yesterday afternoon.

You played some great music and your system sounded excellent with my new speakers, I will message you to get names of some of the tracks played.

Cheers GED, I'll try to remember what we played and send a list.
 
It’s been a while since my last picture, but nothing major has changed.As far as I remember the recent changes are (1) Elac DDP-2 as a central device, (2) adjusting the B&W FS700 stands for the Neumanns, (3) the subs are DSPed and configured to mono per Neumanns instructions and alignment software, (4) Ortofon SPU #1E on loan instead of my trusty DL-103/A110

Hmm, i’ve been busy after all in recent times :)

Equipment list:
1)DIY turntable - code name “Wlith”
2)Phono DIY RJM phonoclone
3)Ortofon SPU #1E or Denon DL-A110 anniversary
4)Elac DDP-2 preamp/streamer/dac
5)Neumann KH310A monitors
6)Neumann KH750 subs
7)Neumann system aligned with Neumann MA1 microphone/software

The speaker stands remind me of the ones I had under my Mordaunt Short Pageant 2s

Nice sofa, cool cat and Planets: intriguing-looking speakers, what do they sound like? Also, what's that in front of the fireplace? Some sort of heater?

They energize the room really well. The sound is balanced from top to bottom with a beautiful tonality. Imaging is also good and accurate. My Larsens have similar qualities but these sound more open and transparent. The Larsens are a bit more mellow compared to the Planets, also very nice speakers.

That’s a heater in front of the fireplace ;)

Lovely set up and room you have there.

Ref the TT; is there any advantage to having the motor sitting so far forward in the plinth or is it purely aesthetic?

I'm really amazed, euh no, flabbergasted by those "artists" building their own turntable that put to shame the design of many manufacturers, awesome work !

Thanks for the kind words :)

It was a purely aesthetic reason in order to be able to accomodate a 12” tonearm, while keeping the footprint on the “smaller” size.

Thanks :) But I cant take any credit for the turntable, as I’ve mentioned in the past, it’s a DIY project from a very close friend of mine from this parish, @InSides.
 
After searching for 3-4 years, I have finally found another pair of Rega R9s. The previous pair I owned for 5 years and sold them in 2019 as our house at the time was too small. Two moves later and we finally have a much larger living room. This pair are I believe the later version with the rectangle woofer grilles, I prefer the oval ones but as these come up for sale so rarely, I could not be picky!
