My first 'proper' hifi

[Loverobot]

Thanks to the advice from here to go and listen and to the mega helpful people at Leeds Richer Sounds I finished setting up today - (my birthday present to myself!)
From the top
Planar P2
Cambridge Duo preamp
Marantz Cd6007 Cd player
Cambridge CXA81 Amp
Dali Opticon 6 mk2 Floorstanders
QED XT25 speaker cables
QED Performance 40i RCAs and Digital Coax Interconnects

Blown away TBH
I think in time will add a streamer and a decent pair of wired headphones but for now just wow

Happy Birthday.
...and a real piano to compare the sound with.

 

[Loverobot]

Thanks its a lovely sounding piano and the true reference for piano black....!

Very nice. Many happy hours ahead enjoy your birthday treat.

Those are Opticon 6 not Oberon 6, no? I don't think there is an Oberon 6.

Happy birthday and glad you are happy. Might be worth moving those speakers into a little more free space if you can, and maybe further from the kit rack if possible - especially if you play at any volume.

Yes I thought that too...that tone arm will be dancing along with the music...! 😁

Heh Sorry my bad - Opticon indeed!
And yes agree re moving them out and away
