Looks very appealing :)

Hi Darren,

Nice... But where's all your music? ;)

Marco.

[belloire]

it's just to the right of where the pic was taken :)

[Marco]

Cool - let's see a nice loving close up of it. It's always nice to look at people's music collection as well as their systems! :)

Looking good Darren, just out of interest, do you use any extra weight on the Technics headshell for the DL103:)

Very nice Darren great looking set up.

Andy, i've not used anything yet, it's running at 2.5gm and seems fine. only had it since tuesday though :)

Jason, thanks very much.

Marco, i'll sort the music out and post a pic..... (it's a mess having just moved rooms)

Darren,

Welcome, I live just the road in Wakefield. I also have some of the big atc speakers I notice that yours have external cross overs, have you noticed a massive difference in how they sound??

Andrew

Ps I have a 1210 as well, you have a decent deck there :D

[belloire]

hi Andrew

unfortunately i can't tell you the answer to that as i bought them with external corssovers. the chap who had them before me was running them active, but said they sounded better with the crossovers external before he went active.

these are actually the original scm35's (no 1 & 2 in effect) as they are the prototypes, the cabinet is made of HDF rather than the MDF of the normal version. not sure if that makes a difference either, though it seems unlikely.

i love them though! great speakers......

loving the SL1210 too. the Denon is a surprisingly good cart, though when i get my Audio Technica ART1 retipped it'll be coming off.... :)

[Wakefield Turntables]

Great! If you need any advice on the 1210 upgrade path just fire away with the questions.

[belloire]

haha, that path terrifies me!

however, i've ordered some techniboots, and will look at a mat next i think! (then offboard psu, then......)
