I had to sell two pairs of speakers to get the money for these ex-dem's! I don't think they'd had much use as there was no bass when I got them. Just recently it's appeared and the overall sound is much smoother. Now they are singing I don't pay attention to them, I just enjoy the music and sound stage.

I’d echo some of this, I too had a Nova which sounded nice but had an ongoing niggling fault that I thought shouldn’t be present in equipment of its calibre. When the fault failed to be fixed, I tossed it in for separates again and the SQ leapt as a result despite them costing less than a new Nova.

Hurrah - Had a change around today. Moved the music room from the sun room to the larger front room, the TV is now in the middle room and the dining table in the sun room.
My speakers now have room to breathe and they are sounding awesome
Had to make up some speaker cable (gone from 2 metres to 7 metres.....) but not an issue.
Now looks like this:
Some records waiting to be moved......
Just enjoying the new lease of life the new room is making with the extra volume of the room

Looks fab! I reckon you've got space for one or two more turntables now
Currently have 3 setups in a two bedroom apartment.The top pic is the spare room,(office, gym) middle pic the living room, and bottom is the bedroom. I'm moving in a few months and will see about different combinations depending on the new place, should be interesting!
Very nice systems. How are you getting on with the little Audiolab?

No real big plans for new gear this year. Current system includes.... Transrotor turntable / Abis tonearm / Grado G2+ (silver coils!), EAR MC4 step-up transformer, JVC integrated amp/DAC, Esoteric CD transport.
Hi-fi goal for 2023 is to finalize the choice of speaker for this room. Narrowed down the field to Davis Acoustics - Olympia One Master, Magnepan 1.7i, or Sony SS-NAES. All three choices sound so good it will be a real battle to the end!
Note the SMSL DAC on top of the transport...wanted to compare a top notch modern DAC to the vintage DAC in the JVC (JVC wins!).

Thanks Paul. The Esoteric transport is a real gem. My only worry would be servicing a 30 year old unit! The potted plants are up on wheels for a couple of reasons...to allow easy movement for cleaning etc, and to lift the clay pots allowing air movement below in effort to avoid mildew / mold.

No changes from last year, nor any planned for this...

Great systems! If you don't mind me asking, what are your living room speakers?Currently have 3 setups in a two bedroom apartment.The top pic is the spare room,(office, gym) middle pic the living room, and bottom is the bedroom.
