Just upgraded(from Project Perspective) to Project RPM10.
Using a Dynavector DV20XL cart and Dyna phono.
Still going through the tweaking and tuning stage but a definite step up from the previous Perspective although not as good looking IMO.
Here (once again) is my modest Scout with (nekkid) Dynavector Karat MKII and EAR834P (definitely needs better isolation):
I'm curious why you have what look like cutting boards under your turntable? Just to get it up to a better height?
Also, what is that rocket-ship looking thing on the left, which I assume is some sort of squeeze air thing? I know I've seen them somewhere before, but I can't put my finger on what it is.

They're Ikea cutting boards; they're really a half-a** tweak for stability and resonance isolation/absorption. Between the table and the cutting boards are a couple layers of thick shelf-liner.
And, you're correct, the rocket-ship thingy is a squeeze air blower--marketed to photographers. I bought it at Helix, in Chicago, a couple years ago for around 10 bucks.
Sold my VPI Scoutmaster.
Ordered a Clearaudio Performance with the Satisfy Carbon fiber arm, CMB magnetic bearing and a Benz-Micro M2 Woodbody cart.
Should be here in a couple weeks.

Not the best pics, but it's all I have on my laptop. I've upgraded my camera equipment since and will eventually do a proper photo shoot. The room is a mess as well, but hey...

One more pic of the MBL rig, and some pics from my home gym rig which I quite like but don't use often enough (either the gym or audio equipment). It's kind of fun to listen to those old Maggie 1C speakers that I picked up for $200 several years ago. They were the only thing that fit in the room! I'm driving them with Bel Canto digital amps and (believe it or not) the micro ZOTL as a preamp! The source is my Audio Aero Prima. It produces a very clean sound, although nothing past the low 80s in terms of dB level. Also pictured is my Shanling T300 with the one-off custom made Gingko Audio platform and dust cover (from the headphone lounge).
BTW, that VersaClimber in the gym pic (you can't see much of it) will absolutely kill just about anyone who is not an Olympic athlete after about 10 minutes at full go. Nothing, and I mean nothing, even comes close to the overall cardio workout that this thing provides. Even at the lowest possible setting and at a reasonable pace, it still burns me out big time. I climb to the top of the Washington Monument (555 feet) in about 7 minutes and then collapse in a pool of sweat.
