Tannoy Berkeley's. I find that once you get used to larger speakers, it's impossible to move back to smaller ones. These make a very enjoyable sound in the entire room.

  Full, messy rooms do tend to sound better. ;)

        Besides a different house, it's been more or less the been the same for years. 

Quote:   Yes Rob, with a PRA 1000 pre. I'm not sure the preamp can match the one that I already had, so there's some swapping to do. The guy I bought it from had a beautiful black Akai system, all with wooden panels in perfect shape. Didn't know they made that kind of quality...

  Oh wow! :)

Yey new amp day,         Subtle improvement compared to the 12 watt Hiraga. Bit less up front but the idea of having plenty headroom is nice. 

Besides my main system I have a second smaller system with some DIY horns and an old Marantz amp. It sees no use at all. I also still have the Tannoy SRM-10b's. I can't get myself to sell them because I really like them, but they don't get used either. Multiple systems don't work for me, I...

Ha, very nice Rob! I never realized your S-1010's are so large. Makes me wonder, how does your vintage set stack up to the 800's? I have one system, but I could imagine it being hard to really enjoy a vintage system when you have another, very high end system. I've listened to 800's only once...

  Thanks, however compared to most setups here it's fairly basic. It's a Thorens TD-147 with an Ortofon MC3 Turbo. I put it on spikes in the hope that it would fix some vibration issues (wooden floors...) but it's not helping, so I'll need a wallmount soon.    For the rest I use an AVM V3...

Some very beautiful tables in this thread..         

Did you go and take a look?

Can you compare them with large DIY horns using 6" or 8" fullrange drivers?

Quote: How does that sound? I would love to have huge horns once I get some space to put them in. That's beautiful.   My speakers:  

I'll drop by! Unfortunately, I have no more headgear. I can provide a decent CD source and preamp though.

Quote: That's incredibly dumb. The large amount of reliable feedback was the strongest point of this whole community.

Hey Sergei, I agree, but I think it's just us old users who like to keep things the way things are and not have any changes. Changes are difficult for us because we got used to the old, but I'm sure the new(ish) members think this place is great (and it is!). I've seen multiple forums outgrow...

Been playing this album a couple times a day of three days now, and it'll be played for at least daily for a long time to come. I've recently seen them live and they performed a large part of the album (new songs to me then) and from then on I couldn't wait to get it. Good stuff. Pray for rain...

Danne, good looking and well thought out for a small place. I like it! Quote: Originally Posted by paaj Still no headphones? No. I do kind of want another pair of K1000's again but first I'll have to get a pair of 12" or 15" Tannoys (the latter if I can fit them). I'm...

Cables still a mess, we've just moved in. Dumped the tube poweramp, now a Hiraga classe-A. Boses make fine stands!

Quote: Originally Posted by Skylab Nice! I love my VPI Rob, do you still have the Denon sitting in a box somewhere or did you get rid of it? I've been looking for a 59l and haven't had much luck finding one. Congrats on the VPI by the way!

Everything from the start post added together equals $1.874.152.

Hey guys, long time no see. Thanks for the PM, otherwise I would've missed the thread. Will see if I can join the fun (if there's still a spot left!). I won't be bringing any headphones but could bring a source or two (cd player and vinyl).

Quote: Originally Posted by Chimpie I just (when packing) realized it has no use to bring the Njoe Tjoeb if I don't have an amp. So that'll stay at home. I'll just bring the headphones for you guys to play with (no source, no amp). Will be there around 1pm - 2pm, I think. Might be...
