    I'm Rich.

    Default Long may happiness last.

    This is my set up as it stands, and I hope it stays this way for a very long time. I am sure the deck isn't set up as finely as is could be, but I am so happy with how it sounds I don't want to fiddle about with anything.

    It's been a very long time since I was at this level of contentment with my system, I hope that doesn't change anytime soon as I was starting to lose faith that I would ever be really happy with whatever I bought. Constant box swapping was bankrupting me

    That's very smart Rich. Nice!
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Thank you

    I am contemplating a proper rack, but I am genuinely hesitant to change anything.

    Really nice, neat set up. I fully understand what you mean about not altering anything, my turntable might benefit from fine tuning but I'm so happy with the sound I'm loathed to touch it.

    it all boils down to having the confidence ian,knowing that if you go to far you can always return it to where you started.
    and may i point out you said that before you heard my rock2,5 minutes after i left you were adjusting the vta again.

    being very happy with your set up is a nice place to be

    It's a gamble isn't it? I definitely think someone more skilled could set the deck up better than I have, but would I be prepared to let them do it? I'm not sure, maybe I don't have it as hifi as it should be, and it's just set up to a sound I like.

    Very happy to hear it, it makes the years of system evolution worthwhile.

    That is a beautiful system Rich. I would love to hear that Roksan turntable. The Radius 5 get great reviews.
