System Pics 2020

[SteveG]

Comparing it to the Primare I use in my bedroom system (where the DNA-45 previously was) it's night and day from an ergonomic perspective and while the DNA-45 sounds good it's not good enough (and certainly no better than the Primare) it's not good enough to make up for the other issues. Ok the system might be better it it was possible to get the amp repaired, but that'd be a marginal improvement.

That's the Audiolab 8000S installed to replace the Onix DNA-45 now. From a useability perspective it's night and day - not only does the Audiolab remote work well (including being easy to set the required volume level and going straight to the source you want) but the remote also works the Musical Fidelity transport. Ok the remote isn't as pretty as the Onix one but in practice useability trumps that for me at least. Not only that but after an initial couple of hours listening (CD and vinyl) then I think it sounds better as well - although that might be because the Onix wasn't a great match with the Triangle speakers in that system.

I will try and get a picture of Ludo enjoying listening to the updated set-up!

There have been some wholesale changes in my set up. I needed to free up a bit of cash for something (which never happened!) and also got sucked back into the vinyl game, so the EWAs were sold and the SL10 made way for an SP10.

My hifi has never sounded better. I need to step away from things for a while to finish my racing car by the spring, so i am stoked that things are sounding so well. I dreaded selling the EWAs, but i think the radford sounds better at lower volume, which is where i do 75% of my listening at the moment.

Roughly four years since I posted a system pic (or anything else). Suppose it’s time. Nottingham Horizon SE with full OL-modded arm/AT-120E (VM-95ML awaiting installation), JVC AX-Z911, RPi for streaming, Magnum Dynalab FT-101, Nakamichi RX-505, Sony MDS-JB930, Snell Type E II. Suits my needs. (Sorry for crappy pics; I’ve not gotten any better at photography in the interim.)

I'd like to think my lowly SL1500C has a little of the DNA of the mighty SL1000mk2

Hi darling, I’m just listening to a record or two, then I’ll get on with my jobs. X

After 3 long years searching for some big Tannoys I eventually found a suitable pair of lovely condition Lockwood Majors

I'm just jealous as I'd get my balls soundly booted if I proposed putting those speakers in the living room!

 

[Rick_F]

The Lockwoods and room look lovely. How do they sound?

 

[Amber Audio]

These must be OK though:

Also rel t7 sub and musical fidelity headphones not in sight​

Cheers Rick ,
I’m still messing about with them and my amp isn’t idea but they certainly fill the room with a lovely Big sound

The thing is, it is called "System Pics 2020" not "List of you components 2020" thread. SCNR

Tried to upload photos from phone, didn’t see that it didn’t work

That explains it, sorry. I was only kidding.
