Very cool 😎
 
Added the Rotel A11 tribute to the set up, small but great addition, way better than the stereo from the Denon.

Like that turntable isolation plate. Where did you get it from?

Hi
I made it myself, ordered the thickest acrylic sheet I could find got it cut to the size I wanted then sanded it down and added an RGB strip to the back.

Nice one, had a similar idea for the glass shelves on my rack, but too much effort.
 
Pics of my updated system.
Speakers - Spendor A7, Roksan Caspian m2 int amp & CD player, Bluesound Node2i, Pro-ject DAC Box DS2 Ultra, Rega Planar 8, cart Ania Pro & Rega MC Fono.
The cables are almost all Tellurium Q Black which in hindsight I wouldn't have bothered with. I would have been able to get a Roksan Blak combo instead with the extra cash. Oh well....

Enclosed are pics of my system. I have a very unconventional hifi;

CD Player - Cambridge Audio 651C (with a level 3 upgrade from FidelityAudio) which puts it on par with Roksan M2.

Amplifier - Yamaha AS-500 with internal tube output stage and Elna Silmic capacitors. (Upgraded by Veracity Audio)

Valve Buffer (to the right of the amp) which I built myself using premium grade parts such as Elna Silmic 2, Jupiter Paper in Wax capacitors and Sylvania 6922 tubes.

Speakers - Wlimslow Audio Rondo (with Scanspeak drivers)

Subwoofer - Built by Wilmslow Audio (using Scanspeak driver)

I recently had the chance to buy a pair of Wilson Benesch Discovery MK 1 speakers, I had wanted these speakers for a long time, but passed them up as I would have to sell my sub and speakers to finance them. I don't think I would get the top end clarity from the Wilsons going by the type of tweeters used and nor would the bass be louder or deeper than my sub. At this moment my system is sounding absolutely fantastic and I could not risk what I think would of been a downgrade even though I had wanted the wilsons for years. Anyway, pics are below

Hi, nice system, just wondering if you could let me know your thoughts on the Primare NP5. I am looking for a replacement for my CCA and this seems to fit the bill and they are not over priced secondhand. I will mostly be using it for spotify, so spotify connect is a must (does it have this and does it do gapless on spotify) plus chromecast integration would be nice and a have a couple of different DACs so no need for analogue out.

Thanks in advance.
 
Hi there...yeah..I don't have a bad word to say about the primare np5 prisma, I was looking for a while for a dacless streamer and came across this..it's working a treat..yes Spotify connect is present and gapless playback along with being Roon ready and upnp compliant. I believe it does have chromecast also. Great wee device at a reasonable price I think.....a mkii is imminent I believe if not already available . just added a couple of screen shots of the interface.

@Mark wrs many thanks for the info, will keep an eye out for one I think.
 
A bit of an upgrade from my last system ( Cyrus 3i, B&W606s Node2i, pro-ject essential 3i) which is now been moved yo my bedroom.

Main system now consists of -

TT - Origin live Calypso
Arm - Origin live Zephyr
Cartridge - Hana ML low output
Phono stage - Moon 110
Mat and weight- Both Origin live

Amp - Lyngdorf 1120

Speakers- PMC Twenty5 22i
Stands - B&W

TT cover and Isolation platform- Mitchell

Looks great.
Cover & platform really show off the TT.
Looks good enough to eat.
 
Why plug socket upside down?
 
Naim Uniti 2
Spendor A7
Reg Planar 1, upgraded stylus from LP Gear Carbon Fidelity CFN3600LE
REL Strata sub-woofer
HP Microserver, RAID 1 2*4TB, Ubuntu, Jellyfin media server

"We" appreciate the simplicity of the Uniti - switch one box on and your off

Humax Aura, Denon AV2310, 4 * Kef T101, elderly KEF Q? centre speaker. Left and right channels wired into the Naim. LG OLED65CX TV

Next Upgrades:

I fitted a new cartridge AT VM95ML to the son-in-laws elderly RP3, and of course had to soundcheck it to ensure I had the correct alignment - and wow! Xmas present to self will be an Rega RP3, probably with a stock Exact cartridge to avoid the struggle of aligning a cartridge (eyesight not as keen as it used to be)

Denon AVR-X3700H .. my poor old denon doesn't understand the hi res feeds from the Aura
 
The tweaking and dialing in of the MBL101E speakers and System continues.....



- Added some Evolution Acoustics Triple Run speaker cables, in place of the Transparent Audio Reference XL (for sale).

- Installed Marigo Audio Mystery Feet between the speakers and the Symposium Reference platforms for the MBL's and the REL subwoofer.

- Pulled the speakers further into the room which opened up the amazing imaging even more!

- Installed an Audioquest Dragon power cord to the EMM Labs DV2 DA/Preamp

- Added a Shunyata Everest power conditioner powered by a Shunyata Omerga XC power cord
