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..

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.

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

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.

No worries
The spec sheet of a truly British amp would simply read 'adequate'
