Dalek Supreme D L's Main System.

[Spectral Morn]

Hi Guys

This is my main System in the living room. The house is Edwardian with a long living room (two rooms knocked into one). Concrete floors and high ceilings which allow me to get away with the full range Anthony Gallo Ref 3.1 Speakers (photo to follow).

The Main system is Moon Andromeda 2 box CDP, Marantz SA7 SACDP, Sme Model 20 TT with Graham Phantom b44 arm (mixture of carts. Ortofon 7500 in photo), Bat VK 10se Phono stage, Bat VK 31 se Pre-Amp, Bat VK 75 Power Amp, Nahamichi Cr 5 Tape Deck, Leak Trough Line + Ear Fm decoder, Audio Valve Rkv mk 2 +Empedance Matcher Headphone OTL Amp, MSB Link Dac (with HDCD). Cabling is a mixture of Atlas Marvos Xlr to Xlr, Rca to Rca and Speaker cable, also Audience Au24 rca to rca cables. Mains cables are Audience Au 24, Analysis Plus Power oval 2 and TCI Boa Constrictor. Tables are Clearlight audio. Isolation platforms by String Concepts and isolators by AMR and RDC.

Nice one Neil, and one heck of a system!

[Spectral Morn]

Thanks for the help. Looks like I will have to resize them as the photos are a bit stretched. Not bad for a first Go.

They look OK to me! Not bad at all for a first go I expect all your threads to be illustrated from now on!

Excellent stuff, Neil - and a very nice system, lots of attention to detail in terms of high quality valves (love the big Russian ones in your B.A.T VK75), and Jensen caps, etc, I see there too!

Our Gallery here is the best I've seen of members' system pictures on any forum. It's becoming quite an asset to us

Hi Marco

I will give you a call some other time. I wanted to get this done, new skill and all. I know its pretty easy if you know what you are doing, but for me this is quite an achievement.

Yes, I try to pay attention to the details as thats how a system is made or fails. I learned that a long time ago. When I was still new to audio the Pro-Ac Super Tablet was a very hard Mistress, so fussy about positioning. A mm out, or not quite level, or not positioned symmetrically relative to the walls, and it all fell apart. I apply that rule to all my system set ups. Its the early lessons and discoveries which carry you on and help you to keep an open mind, and pay attention to all the little factors.
Every element, no matter how small goes to building the overall system performance.

That's how the Revels are. But when they're in the right position, boy oh boy does it pay dividends!

The devil's in the detail.

No worries, Neil. I look forward to it - we can certainly get through much more stuff on the phone than both of us will by getting repetitive strain injury from endless rat-a-tat-tat typing on here
