Could you list your set-up please? Very cool system.
Nice speakers there EvanPicked these ATC 20-2 ASL's up on Saturday. They'll do till I can unpack my SCM100ASLT's again.
Nice stands - they look like sound structure stands?Thanks Hifinity. Having finally completed a property purchase and moved in I'm sorely tempted to buy stands...but... I have a container full of household goods arriving in the next 10 weeks or so that look something like this I'm tempted to hold off.
AnalogueCould you list your set-up please? Very cool system.

All of the gear is placed on ikea aptitlig bamboo chopping boards for a bit of isolation (N.B. Picture shows that the Power Amp is not, but this photo was taken a short while back, before I'd purchased a complete set of boards)
@wwelly Thanks very much for taking the time to compile the comprehensive list, much appreciated.
Loads of really interesting gear to read up on.
Did you find the bamboo boards made a noticeale improvement? I'm thinking of replacing my granite boards with bamboo under my speakers. I know all that lovely gear on show and I ask about chopping boards.
Cheers

A subtle change... I think maybe it was audio paranoia, seeing all the gear on the large lump that is the overall cabinet. Saying that, it is cheap to try and, if you don't hear an improvement, then your kitchen will be well equipped with chopping boards for years to come...
I've also purchased a bunch of these ("ebony" footers) to put between the boards and the cabinet.
People should be able to post pictures of their systems in a systems picture thread without sarcastic and idiotic comments like that.
Very nice, has that been serviced, i'm sure i can spot an led upgrade there?The CA-1010 is back!
