My system at the moment

[jason]

Hi guys,

I thought I'd take some pics of my system today, just put the granite back under my speakers and put some supports under the amp:) The sound of the I pod well its not bad but I think I need another turntable soon very soon:lol:
but I'm starting to really enjoy the amp:)

Very nice Jason I like the clean look

Stylish and elegant

What make is the lamp as I need something to illuminate my TT amp etc

Does the i pod have a remote or do you listen on shuffle ?

Very nice, Jason. Have you tried covering the glass coffee table when listening? That reflective surface might affect the imaging.

Thanks Al, I didn't know you could get a remote for the I pod I'm quite new to them I just keep constantly getting up:(. I bought the lamp from a shop local to were I live but there is no makers name on it though, they only had the one in the shop too the shop is called Bo-concept:)

Thanks Martin, I was thinking that today while I was listening I was going to move it but it weighs a ton. I'll try covering it when I next listen and update on any differences. Thanks for the tip Martin;)

Jason,
Very nice indeed! The Sugden's are not as well known here in the states, but those in the know think highly of them. I'd love to hear your rig, or kit as it's known in your neck of the woods.
Congrats on a great kit,
Jim

Thanks Jim, the amp does sound great but it's let down by the i-pod:( but it'l do till I get another deck. Sugden is about 5 mins from were I live so not far to go should I need any repairs:lol: Just spotted the link to the rest of you hi-fi you have some great kit mate:stalks:

Very nice setup! Clean and stylish and great potential for wonderful sound!

Have you tried bypassing the internal head phone stage in the iPod?
I mean, by AirPlay or taking a digital signal out of the iPod or similar?
I think you'll be surprised what amazing SQ can be had from a iThingy when loaded with proper material, Apple Lossless or WAV/AIFF that is..

Hi Mike thanks glad you like it;) I've haven't tried any of the above mate as I wouldn't know were to start:eyebrows: but I will do some reading on google and give it a try sounds like a good way forward for better sound:) Listening at the moment sounds ok but I don't seem to get into it like I did with records so looking forward to finding out how to do what you suggested. Thanks for the tip mate Jason;)

Jason ,
when you download music from i tunes do you select Apples lossless format ?

[jason]

Hi Al, I'm not sure as my girlfriend does it but she's not sure either as we've only done 4 time's but i'll have ago tomorrow myself to see if I can do it. The rest of the music I have on it is from my cd's. I'll keep updated to how I get on, cheers Al

Jason.

Hi guys quick update I tried the system last night removing the coffee table, and it really did make a big difference I'm happy, I'm still waiting for my girlfriend to get some spare time to download some music for me the lossless way. So soon as she as I will update on the differences I'm really looking forward to it.

Cheers

Jason

Thanks Jules they are partington dreadnought. There very good stands and work well I used to have atacama stands but I really noticed a difference with these. They can be filled too I have them filled about half way:)

[synsei]

EDIT: Hehe, you beat me to it Jason :)
