No, replaced it all with CDs. Sold the phonostage and some turntables too. Down to just 3 decks now. Can't bring myself to sell the SL1200 though.

What an interesting idea Oliver but in a way I wish you hadn't started this! I've got a member's systems thread on Lenco Heaven so I can look back over the years to see what gear I had. My thread is ironically called Ian's fairly stable system and 2015 was particularly unstable!
In this pic you can see open baffles using Alpair 10 full rangers and Visaton 15" bass units. Sources are a Vortexbox, Meridian Director DAC, a Transcriptors Saturn with ADC XLM cart - really just for show, and a Lenco idler driven Orbe platter sitting on a Mycro frame plus Ittok and Zyx R50 Bloom. Amplification was a Sugden A21 SE or a Ming Da Piccolo depending on mood. Not shown were alternative speakers.
As well as these Frugelhorn XLs using Alpair drivers I also had the baby Frugelhorns and a pair of Proac Response 1.5's. Other gear had come and gone in 2015 as well.
Today the only thing that has survived is the Zyx cartridge. Digital is a Innuos Zen Mini with an Eastern Electic Minimax DAC, analogue a replinthed JVC TT-71 deck with Jelco 12" arm and speakers are Jordan Eikona transmission lines. This photo is not quite up to date but shows the DIY Jordans quite well.
Quite a bit of my current system has been inspired by members here so thanks to all who contributed!

Thanks Ian. How do the open baffles do? I've only just started to consider speakers as my next upgrade and open baffle make a lot of sense to me.What an interesting idea Oliver but in a way I wish you hadn't started this!

They were very good, bass to die for but they had a tendency towards harshness at times. Ultimately I preferred my Arden IIs overall so moved the DC10Ts on.
