Some really nice systems you have! But one picture is not enough to show my system. Anyway here I try:
The speakers are DIY 3-way active with 4 x LAT 700 woofers in each open baffle tower.
The big recordplayer on the left is my DIY copy of the Platine Verdier with the TW Acoustics DC motor and TriPlanar Mk VIIi arm and Transfig. Orpheus cartridge.
What you don't see is more recordplayers, two big tapedecks, surround speakers, DVD-players and a projector.

Yes it is the SP 10 mkII but with an extra platter so the total weight now is 10 kg. The plinth is a double layer solid ash with leadshot inside the upper one.
The arm is a Fidelity Research with Ortofon SPU Gold.
And here my newly finished Garrard 301 in a solid birch plywood plinth with lead shot. The arm is a pro-ject 10cc with a Benz Ebony H. It is playing right now - Fleet Foxes!
And here my big "Monster" - 60 kgs of recordplayer. A DIY copy of the Platine Verdier in a solid oak led damped plinth. The arm is a TriPlanar Mk VIIi with a Transfiguration Orpheus cartridge. The DC motor is from TW Acoustics in Germany.
Many more pictures on my web-site, where you can see how I build the plinths.

Here my DIY tangential arm soon to be mounted on "The Monster".

Everything is just awesome, but I particularly love the SP10/FR/SPU Gold combo...
Jan,
Can you describe roughly what that turntable sounds like compared to the others you've got, specifically what you think the SPU brings to the party?
I intend to fit one at some point fairly soon to my modified SL-1210 so you're thoughts would be appreciated
And yes, analogue rules!
Marco.

Hi Marco,Jan, any thoughts on the SP10/FR/SPU thing I asked you?
Marco.
I think the Ortofon SPU question deserves a new thread. I'll start one later this day. Sorry for the delay - I have been busy!
