As a new member here I've been encouraged to share some photos of my system so here goes:

So here's roughly the view from my listening position:

HI Gavin

Nice set up.

Unico amplifiers are great. I used to have one of those, or similar a few years ago.

Nice music collection, no doubt Andre will know who that band are (if they are Prog)...I have never heard of them myself:scratch:

Cheers Neil :) That amp was my last big purchase when I was working before uni, I really like it. I've been very impressed with the phono stage as well as I borrowed a fancy (Loricraft I think?) stage once and yes it was better, but I didn't think hugely so...well I couldn't have afforded it so it didn't matter anyway!

It's a belting album:

I guess it's more heavy acid rock/dark prog...or something...

Italian stuff that, too.
It was bought in the 1964, perfectly working. Valves inside!

Nice to see the good old Meridian 200/203 CDP; this was my first CDP some eight years ago, now supplanted by GO8.

Now I'm looking for a GO8 replacement.....it never ends.......

Thanks I love them, not that they get used much :/ My Dad had the same for many years which he bought new and was his second CDP after an early Cambridge one in the 80's, I always thought they sounded nice so I got the same, only much cheaper many years later!

I'm glad too see that you have got the TV to Speakers size ratio correct! Well, almost correct, you should really get a smaller TV, or larger speakers.

If it were down to me it'd be bigger speakers :)
