    Well in fact, this is a 25RS instead (7R monos to come when funds will be higher).

    The table is an Amazon One with a Robert Fuchs tonearm, probably the best table I have ever had (including my Stabi S, a Vpi Scout and a Townshend Rock 7). 24 kg of pure German table

    Many changes since last year.

    no changes on sources (Audionet and amazon) but amplification and speakers are quite new.

    My Crofts are now gone, so the Harbeth,replacements are an Audio Research VSI60 with KT120 and a pair of DeVore Fidelity Gibbon 88.

    Pics to come.
