A couple more pics, now I've got my tripod back...

The tripod makes all the difference.
I'm going to create a couple of similar moody shots of my system using my tripod, methinks.
Indeed. I should do the same as all pics I have taken are without the tripod, so plenty of improvement expected there. However I think have not seen my Arca Swiss quick release plate for a while. Perhaps it got lost when we moved, so.. :scratch:
My lovely little ProAcs (well, one of them) these have been in the family for over 20 years now, and can never see me selling them...

Little sods to drive well - they do seem to like a lot of amplifier but are also extremely revealing of poor material. However, when the wind's in the right direction... :)
Great system, lovely photographs and love the use of lighting and depth of field, not easy I know.
Marty :D
Thanks Marty. :)
The ProAc photo isn't as crisp as I would've liked it unfortunately, just hand-held it at 1/4 sec with my Fuji.
A little bit of Mr Sony's finest...

I do find the Japanese habit of writing stuff on their gear rather amusing though!

At least with Sony it usually stands for something... Here's a translation for you:
Spontaneous Twin Drive = Separate voltage rails for front / back end of the amplifier.
Gibraltar chassis = Inert base made of polyester, calcium and carbon.
Super / Legato linear = Use of high fT output transistors to extend frequency / switching response & emitter resistors are 0.1ohm for minimum output distortion.
Linear Phase Circuit = Proprietary gain/buffer stage originally designed for preamps with a SACD input allowing high frequency response up to 100kHz with minimal distortion.
Torus = Toroidal transformer with a true torus core for increased efficiency.
QS = Quality standard.
ES = Elevated standard.
ESD = Elevated standard digital.
ESR = Extremely high standard ?
I'm sure there's more I cant remember :D
Thanks James - I always wondered what the 'Super Legless Lineage' thingy was. :)
All I do know is that it's blummin' heavy - and sounds pretty darn spiffing. :)
Perhaps some of the British amp manufacturers should start something along the lines of...
'RRN' - really rather nice.
'JG' - jolly good.
Or for Naim...
OMPSATYBH - one more power supply and then you'll be happy. :D
No worries :thumbsup:
The spec sheet of a truly British amp would simply read 'adequate' :)
