Finally good speakers possitioning. Essentially for good sound. Sometimes even more than equipment quality.

Lovely...and the prime use of speaker stands, to rest LPs againstDuke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn and Johnny Hodges session this morning. I’ve wired in my external mono switch between the Sculpture A SUT and Croft 25R phono-preamp. Would be nice to have a mono switch on the Croft or SUT but this’ll do. It makes such a difference with mono LPs. Have thought about getting the Croft modified so that it has two inputs to the phono stage with one hard-wired for mono. Then I’d use a second turntable for dedicated mono playback.

Is that room utterly enormous, or was that a polar bear cub?

Away at the makers getting mended but I suspect I may stay direct into the mono’s
Because they sound
. As Mae West famously said…come up and see me sometime. I have food music and whisky aplenty. Large but not huge… 28ft x 18ft or thereabouts.

Good positioning if you can tolerate the SBIR cancellation.
I have no doubts that speaker position produces superb imaging and soundstaging, but if the distance to front wall is less than 2.2 metres then there will be a significant dip in the bass response. With room acoustics there is no free lunch, unless you're willing to go the satellite & subwoofer route.

What a lovely room you have there, a real shame you're going to lose it, and for a bedroom.Soon my lovely listening room will be no more - we need another bedroom so the main system will move up to the living room. To lessen the pain I have a Vitsoe shelving system arriving next week to house all the records, but I will still really miss having a dedicated listening space.

I’ve heard Angus‘s system and the panels and bass drivers are well integrated and quite seamless so something is working right.
In the past I’ve also heard older pre-EQ ML models and, for my ears, there was an issue.

It's a shame, but part of me is excited about having the hifi in the main living space. The kids are now old enough that they can be trusted around the turntable and they are starting to show more interest in music. It will be nice to have music on all of the time rather than having to take myself off to the basement.
What’s the amplifierAnd the latest iteration of the system, with Heco Direkts inplace of the SF Toy Towers.

Amazing system, beautiful speakers… but, to me, the real luxury here is the room! Simple mouthwatering spaceThat’s not mine. Mine is the junior version.
Congratulations!

Temporarily relocated the turntable back to a dedicated support. Not really had a proper listen yet, but first impressions are positive. Proper listening session on Wednesday hopefully. Unfortunately it’s an aesthetic failure, in a shared living room, so it will back on some ‘normal’ furniture soon. My next post will probably be asking about furniture-agnostic turntables
