Loos really good. And great to see the racks can hold the records.

What a great way to spend time! What amplifiers are you using ?

What was the replacement ?

There are a few other native macOS music clients like collibri and pure music. But you’ll need to check if they support your version of macOS. Big fan of LMS/Squeeze it gives more configurability and options like playing radio streaming, etc as well.

A few years ago, I moved most of my cds into cd wallets (and their cover art). You can still get those but if you have a lot of sleeves, looking at the box storage things can be a good way to organise, roughly shoe box size...

I have an original TT but go into a pre amp and use the balanced connections. I found it has less noise. I use siltec balanced and in the past have used Nordost red dawn (the old ones).

I have the low out version of the DV20 and had the Dino and never connected. Look at upgrading your phono stage, it should make a good difference. I went with an an audio note step up into and audion phono stage. But lots of options and work with a good dealer. Turntables and arms and motors...

Are you using the ATCs for music too? How are they?

Just sent my request.

lovely, welcoming listening space. What’s the unit on the floor?

I’d agree with this approach, having done so recently. Adopted a Dynaudio active speaker set, a marantz/clearaudio turntable, and a bel canto phono stage - quite compact. I got a deal on all the components so glad it gelled. active speakers are a good way to go.

No shortage of ugly from chord and Manley. The poly in particular has the aesthetic charm of a politician’s avarice.

I have an older pair of contour 1.3s. What rel subs are you using? To the original poster, I acquired a pair of floor standing Xeo 6s and find them great and inline with the older contours. Great across the frequency range.

They really do exceptional speakers when they want to. They look pretty serious too.
