I got the second Sound Factory stand assembled and had a system reorganisation - together with the addition of the KX1020 cassette deck. The Yamaha journey is now complete! What next I wonder....
Excuse poor phone pics - I’ll replace with DSLR when I’ve found it!

My suggestion is you need lots more LP's

Just a suggestion... I found the Obelisks to have a much better defined soundstage when not toed in. Very good TT BTW, where did you get the lid?
And perhaps try a JVC AX-Z1010TN with them, very cheap at the moment.
They sound better toed in here in my room, the lid came with the TT when I bought so have no idea where the previous owner got it.
Not a big fan of the jap amps but even then I don't think it would come close to the Pass Alephs.

I dunno the Nakamichi PA-7 might, but it is based upon a Pass design, also the Luxman M-06a (also 100w class A)...and many of the best Japanese amps weren't released outside of Japan. Great looking amps by the way!

Think the Nak was a licenced version of his Threshold amp design.
Nelson Pass said that of all his amps the Aleph 2 was by far his favourite.

Haha. Yes it looks that way doesn’t it! LPs are still in storage having just moved House - the vinyl in the picture is what I had bought since packing things up a month before!!
Vinyl is now unpacked and being played.

How's the phono stage compared to what you were using previously? Are you using MM or MC?

Hi. I like it, I was using a Trichord Dino previously saying that, I've not had a really good chance to compare properly
If Shahinians are ominidirectional, then surely they can fire out in any direction and just sound the same.

I'm using the Dino (mk I) for about 15 years. For the price I bought it (used) I haven't find anything better. I also have a Cambridge Audio 640P but I prefer the Trichord. I have compared it with the phono stages of intergrated amplifiers, a few M. Firdelity and a Rotel and the Dino was clearly better in everything. I'm using a low MC cartridge.
Not so, something isn't right unless they are parallel

How do you know what works better in my room?

I have experimented with the positioning of my Arcs and for normal use with the tuner they are about 11"" from the wall and are 7ft apart being either side of a fire place.
For the serious listening (CD or TT) I pull them out about 18" from the wall, still about 7ft apart and they really do sound good. I have never experimented with toe in and I shall give it a go tomorrow. I really was under the impression that omnidirectional speakers were unaffected by toe in. The best test is your ears, so let's see what happens.

Much simplified vinyl-only system for 2018 - Thorens TD150 / NAC62 / NAP110 / SPX / Creek OBH 15
CD and tuner have been moved to dining room duties.
That's a gorgeous system
