    Default Just call me "Two Systems Mike!

    Hi all, just joined this week and posted my introduction.

    Here are my two systems I currently enjoy, the first is in a dedicated room upstairs.



    Linn Sondek LP12, Linn Basik Plus arm, Audio Technica AT120E cartridge
    Meridian 207 CD
    Meridian 203 DAC
    Meridian 562 Controller
    Meridian 518 Digital Signal Processor
    Musical Fidelity FX2 Power Amp
    B&W 600 Series 2 speakers
    Rega Research Fono Stage

    I had the table specially made, I bought two pieces of marble for the tops and had a joiner make the table out of ash.

    The second is in the downstairs lounge



    LG 42" Smart TV
    Denon AVR 3805 amp
    B&W ASW600 Sub
    AR Legend TT, Linn Basik LVX arm, Audio Technica AT120 cartridge
    Meridian 506 CD
    Yamaha NS-C90 central speaker
    Monitor Audio R250 speakers

    Sorry about the rubbishy phone pics

    They both look good, like you taste in records.
    Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

    Analog Inputs: Pro-Ject Signature 10 TT & arm, Benz Micro LP-S, Michel Cusis MC, Goldring 2500 and Ortofon Rondo Blue cartridges, Hitachi FT5500 mk2 Tuner

    Digital:- Marantz SA-KI Pearl CD player, RaspberryPi/HifiBerry Digi+ Pro, Buffalo NAS Drive

    Amplification:- AudioValve Sunilda phono stage, Krell KSP-7B pre-amp, Krell KSA-80 power amp

    Output: Wilson Benesch Vector speakers, KLH Ultimate One Headphones

    Cables: Tellurium Q Ultra Black II RCA & Chord Epic 2 RCA, various speaker leads, & links


    I think I am nearing audio nirvana, but don’t tell anyone.

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Hi Mike,

    You'll need to sort out visible pics of your system or this thread serves no useful purpose, and will be deleted. If you're struggling to post pics, please message one of the mods or myself and we'll be glad to help.

    Otherwise, I'll give you a couple of days from now to read this message, and carry out what's required, before the thread is binned.

    Marco.

    That because there aren't any, as the OP didn't successfully manage to upload any.... Therefore, if none are forthcoming by 10pm this evening, this thread will be binned.
