SOYS: State Of Your System

Bit of an update, thanks to @Mrs_Maureen_OPinion I now have a lovely over the top power cable so fit and forget for a nice neat installation.
On the recomendations, I have bought a pair of Auralex Gramma V2s which are working well, up until a point anyway, with very bass heavy music at high volumes the floor still starts to vibrate a lot, but a lot less than before!
Also finally got round to putting a basic TV system together, a pair of bargain KEF 3001SE to go with the Castle Sub, a MiniDSP 2x4HD to do the DAC/Pre and Crossover and a Bantam Stealth (on its way) for the power amp.
Feeling a bit more lived in now, with the LPs unboxed and some pictures put up around, as well as the remaining acoustic panels.

I’d like a nice big plant for the far corner but the Wife would like a big corner sofa, so some negotiations going on there. At least hifi wise, no issues, pretty much carte blanche… (now to kick off the DIY speaker project!).

Good god, tv in front of a window! I have the urge to throw myself off something low.
Nice room😀

The original plan was it was going to go more to the right but did not want it too close to the Wood Burner come winter. Its a door onto a veranda, although we would not really use it, there is a 2nd door onto it from the Dining room which we would more likely use.

A door! on to a veranda… I’ll throw myself off something higher :joy:
Bloody TV screens, the compromises you have to make unless you are prepared to be very spendy😬

That’s life for non Japan

Managed to find the box with the Rega Wall Mount in it!

So how’s it compare?

The sl10 isn’t my cup of tea. But I think it’s the cart, I’m not sure I want to take the risk on an expensive p mount cart though.

Isn’t that rack shelving a bit wobbly for a deck?

No idea yet as the deck is not set up yet. It is pretty sturdy though. Everything else sounds fine on it and it’s no longer just piled on the floor.

One bit of kit is truly transparent!
