Yes - I am. Today I've been listening exclusively to vinyl, and have enjoyed every minute of it. But then I'm happy with my system regardless of source: vinyl, CD, tuner, or even tape (cassette or reel-to-reel; neither of which are much used these days).

Very much so.

Well the ruark Templar speakers have arrived and I've let them get to room temperature for a couple of days before judging them.

I was a little disappointed at first. They are quite small for floorstanders. However when I got them going I was stunned.

They are so excitable and joyful.

I've got sand in them and the bass is thudding. No boom. Treble is excellent too and vocals are eerily live. I'm really impressed with them.

So am I happy. No.

I've had the CD player on a bit lately and to be honest it's too clean a sound. It's quite fatiguing. So I reconnected my VALAB DAC and we are in business.

I love the sound from that little box. So smooth and vinyl-esque. I'm in Dreamland here.

Told you they were pretty good

Nice. Good speakers Ruarks.

Is that a set of drums on the right? If it is, you want them out of the room, as they'll be resonating to the sound from the speakers and adding colourations to what you're hearing. If you try it, you should hear a difference.

Put them on some short stands and see how they perform then.

Will have to get around for a listen

I was perfectly happy. Then someone lent me a new sub platter. Then I was unhappy. Then I purchased one, now I'm happy again.
