When you add the pic there is an option to resize so you can make the pic smaller or larger to suit or leave it original - but sometimes that’s too big/wide for the forum

Looking the other way.
I tried re-sizing as described, but the picture has not changed. I will leave posting pics for now to those less technically challenged.

Try the Do Not Resize option, you can edit your post and use the “more options/preview” so you don’t keep adding new posts but can mess about with images.

Love the “Pleasure” control knob! Quite the amplifier there!Dartzeel NHB-18 NS

Nice pre-amp indeed. I used my brothers one for a while when my preamp was ill. He had his upgraded to the mk2 spec, something you might consider.

I think the batteries are shot so yes it is very likely to go back to
Dartzeel for an upgrade.

picture uploadA few changes since I last posted here in 2021.
Gone is the old glass and chrome rack, now replaced by a new teak stand.
A Michell Gyrodec and SME 309 have replaced the Project RPM 9.1X
The extra shelf space means I've got room for my QUAD FM4 tuner, with it's newly fixed power supply.
Also hiding on the shelf are a Chromecast Audio and the DSP room correction gizmo for the sub.
I'm convinced it all sounds much better than it did before.
Next big change will be a new rug I think

That is a fabulous rack. May I ask where you found it?

Thank you. It's French and came from here. The raw teak look, nice as it is, didn't really go in my room - I knew beforehand it wouldn't - so it's had four coats of Danish oil to blend in better with the floor. I also replaced the rope drawer pulls with cast iron knobs which I think look better with the darker finish and are more practical.

@MikeAA A fantastic system you have there, love your new stand and Jadis amp, one question, do you feel moving the Harbeth's further out and wider apart has improved the sound?

Thank you and, yes, they definitely sound better further out into the room! In fact I was going to say something about that in my opening post but had so many problems uploading and linking to the picks that I forgot all about it! On the same theme, I've got enough speaker cable hidden behind the new stand to enable me pull the speakers right out and have them each side of the fireplace, at right angles to what they are now, firing down the length of the room, which is even better. I'll post some more pics later on If I can sort them out without too much hassle to show what I mean.

That looks brilliant. Could you hear a difference from the change in support?

Imaging has definitely improved as a result of moving the speakers out and further apart, but I've not noticed anything much by way of tonal differences, which is where I'd expect the stand to make a difference if it was going to. Can't be sure to be honest.

If it sounds the same and looks better, it's a winner.
