I'll wager you've sold your soul to the Technisatan! SP10?

No Technisatan worshipped here (despite SP10 was one of the choices).
Today had few hours to be home alone and just for fun tried to set JBLs near the room corners. The end results is a bit surprising really, the system does not sound bad at all! The resolution is worse than earlier but on the other hand the sound is more big, bold and relaxed, reminds me actually of the large flush mounted Genelecs listened at the factory monitoring room few years back, or then the legendary Klipsch corner horns had change to hear back in the days.
Im pretty sure I will at some point return to the usual setup that have marked to the floor but while waiting (it's the hardest part) the new TT to arrive decided to try some very different speaker positions just to get some experience of the room and how things work. I guess will also test removing the corner bass traps at some point and see what that does..

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Mika K's system
As usual; first class photography and aestetics!
Would you care to put some words to paper regarding your Mac's MM phono input when used with stepup? I have a friend with an MA-7000 who has recently aquired a Kuzma Stabi/Stogi combo for enjoying vinyl.
He runs a Benz Micro Ace H at the moment but is looking into other LOMC carts. I have advised him to try a stepup first as i have a feeling the builtin MM is not a bad sounding solution.
Also curious whether you are letting your Yammies go?
Atb from Sweden, Mike
PS regarding your turntable, could it be an L07?

Yes, the chair was originally imported from China by one IT professional who lived there for some years. Said he spent some hours to look for the best one when bought that from him. Perhaps will have original one some day..
As plain MM phono I was not so impressed of the McIntosh but it is not bad at all when used together with quality SUT. It cannot not compete with my Ensemble Fonovivo in resolution, dynamics or rhythmic accuracy but I would say it's worth of try! When used with my Zu DL-103 and A23 SUT it's a pleasure to listen to especially some jazz/blues etc. music. However please remember that my McIntosh is filled with tubes inclusing the MM phono. I do not know is that the case with the MA-7000?

Thanks Mika, i was obviously mistaken! I thought your Mac was either an MA-6900 or MA-7000... And you are quite right, the MA-7000 is solid state through out.

Beautiful system and really nice pictures - I really like the shots of the ZU DL 103 - I've always wanted to pick one of those up.
