Just trying to keep things interesting guys.

I still think the pic I posted of Nuck and his system is the one to beat.

I agree with Stu, unfortunately the only guy who could beat it by posting more pictures of himself is the one who can't figure this sh!t out.

Here are a few pictures of my setup at university.
Been here for 3 weeks now. The speakers are one day old, I much much prefer them over my old wharfedale diamond 8.1s.

A subwoofer will be coming soon.

The speakers have to go back on friday because today my flatmate managed to knock one of the speakers off the stand so it damaged the wood in a couple of places.

Im noticing that alot of the pics on here are of newer/digital equipment. Im an analog guy. These pictures are somewhat lacking, due to the fact that most of my equipment is older and needs servicing after years of abuse.

Turntable is not hooked up. Both of my pre amps dont work properly, phono jacks are the first ones to go on them for some reason. My main pre is in the shop right now waiting to have new jacks installed on the back.

In these pictures you are looking at one of the bose 4401's that i have and my AP800 power amp.

[IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h73/honchie/Stereo%20Equipment/Picture005.jpg[/IMG]

These are the speakers that go with the AP800, They are Elite 401's.
[IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h73/honchie/Stereo%20Equipment/Picture005.jpg[/IMG]
I have replaced at least 4 woofers on the speakers. Twice due to my power amp blowing up. Once due to a drink being spilled on the woofer and once from age and wear. One of the woofers is still in need of repair.

Attaboy, Chris, and for under a c-note, too!

Thanks for the storage offer, Art.
These are the MA's that I bought from Mike W. for a song. Along with the TW's and the Apollo, too!
I won't embarrass anyone with the dollar figure, let's just say that Mike got a steak dinner as well, hehehe.

Stu, I was using 'save as' which added mass to the pic, sending it over the limit.
With 'save', the pic is replaced.

I have to admit, I'm giddy over this pick up.

I didn't regret selling-off the M32i when I did (I sold them for what I paid for them), but I did miss them. For a NIB $97/pr., this might be my best buy yet.

I also picked up a pair of these for $49

Here's a link to the sight

http://www.standsandmounts.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1044

They price match + 10% off and free s/h!

I'll get back with some pics when all is set-up.

My new (used) Rega Planar 2. It's got a new belt on it and a Grado cartridge. I need to get a new mat for it. (Suggestions?) I just stopped in at my dealer to ask him to keep me in mind for a used table and he had this one in the shop. $150 and he threw 127 albums in the deal. I couldn't pass it up...

I must be having e-mail troubles, Art.

Thanks guys...I'm having tons of fun with serious flashbacks going through my old vinyl.

CM, the 127 albums are all classicals. Not my cup of tea at the moment but I do realize my taste in music is an everchanging creature. And I listen to all kinds of stuff, so these albums are surely keepers and will be listened to sooner or later. Right now I'm having too much fun with my collection from 20 years ago.

Where'd ya get the red from Art?

As for Grado, looks like I got a TLZ coming along for the vpi table. Currently searching for a Rega rb300 arm. I had a lead on a RB250 with a big carb and a 4-on-the-floor, but got beat out.

I am seething with jealousy over your vinyl gushing, Stryvn. I can just see the smile on your face from hear(sic).

I have 3 lp's.Ouch! Need lessons from Mike W on this.

Nuck- Love the Apollo. LOVE it.lol. This thing kicks the crap out of my old NAD. Although I only paid 350 taxes in for my NAD which it sounds a lot better than that price, the Apollo just seems to read more off the cd. More detail, better timing/pace, tighter low end. Im thinking another piece of Rega is in call. Probably around the holidays. The Apollo just makes you want to get up and dance. It beat out the Arcam hands down to my ears. The Arcam was to familiar, sounded like a slightly better version of the NAD. Warm, laid back, and a bit dull compared to the Apollo. I also had a Bryston 3B here for the test and a NAD C372 integrated. The 3b had slightly faster timing than the NAD, but for price to performance I think I am going to upgrade to the 4B soon. Then there was the C372 integrated. Believe it or not, I felt my C272/T763 combo sounds better than the C372 alone. Yes a receiver.lol. I didn't get it either. Thats my biggest problem with NAD as a company. If you buy say 5 items for music listening, say two integrated's, a A/V receiver and a couple two channel receivers, you find that 2 out of the 5 sound good, the rest are dull, boring. Its like every piece of their equipment is Manufactured in a different plant in china. As far as a A/V receiver goes, they make some of the best for SQ. Ive heard tones, including a Pioneer Elite/Monitor Audio setup yesterday. And I must say that the NAD is still the second best sounding A/V receiver for multichannel and two channel material I have ever heard. The best being the Arcam 350. Which cost 2 times more money. That said, im thinking keep the T763 for home theater although with the Apollo my music sounds very good. And get the Cursa 3 with a 4b power amp for two channel listening. And call it a day.

I've set our Project Xpression 2 T/T on a timber cutting block and cut out a section for the speedbox. Still a small noise issue persists, but I have put it down to proximity to other components as Art suggested. Also replaced the earth and interconnects. Sounds sweet!
