    Default Latest System Change.

    So I picked up a pair of Tannoy Cheviots in amazing condition today. Had some Eatons a few years ago. Loved them then let them go and regretted it. Now finally found some bigger brothers and got a very good deal. They've been recently refoamed and done well but all else is stock.

    So System now is.

    Vinyl collection is at around 150 and growing.

    Yaqin is running off of a Variac to keep voltage at 220v which helps with bias a lot.

    Will keep the Tannoy Revolution XT6F for a while but they will be sold at some point soon as the Cheviots are not going anywhere period.

    Nice looking Cheviots John, had a couple of sets myself. I bet they sound very different to what you're used to (in a good way ).
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I have listened to many speakers over the years but I still come back to my Cheviots which I have had from new (although re-coned by Lockwood some 18 years ago and new cone outer seal again this year from the gent who has taken on the work of Lockwood). In a bigger room than mine I would look for a pair of Ardens.

    Looks like a great system John. Very nicely put together. I'm sure it sounds out of this world.

    But don't reckon on it being your end system. I'm sure you suffer from the same ailment I and many others have - G.A.S. (gear acquisition syndrome).
