WoW!
That is a lot of systems 🙂 What cd player and amp is that from the lounge pic? Very Impressive.

T+A V10 and D10. The V10 was favourably reviewed by What Hi-Fi.

 

[MrReaper182]

Wow. Do you ever use the bedroom systems? I had a second hi-fi setup in my bedroom but I'v never used it so I got rid of it.

 

[DistortedVision]

Yes but I don't listen to the Arcam as much as I'd like to. The office Arcam Solo system gets used several times a week.

Bedroom 2





Still work in progress. Next pay day will purchase a XDuoo XQ100 to replace the XQ50. Also to replace mains cables with audiophile ones. Under consideration adding a PPA20 phonostage and Avid Ingenium Plug&Play.

The PPA20 rarely come up for sale and command a relatively high price.

Have added a few components to this system. Finally managed to get a Tag McLaren PPA20 after looking for over a year.

Just need to decide what turntable to get.

The Music Hall MMF 5.3LE came in Ferrari Red..... 🙂

 

[DistortedVision]

Hmmm yeah okay.

Those plain Rega type turntables are the exact ones I am trying to avoid.

The main lounge system has had a new addition:

 

[vinod_david]

Distorted. What brand speaker is that ?

T+A Criterion TCI 2E

My wife has been pestering me to get rid of the T+A TCI Criterion 2E speakers in the lounge. Thinking of replacing them with these:

Marten Parker Quintet Diamond Edition Loudspeakers

The new Marten Parker speakers began as an update to their Heritage series, but the upgrades in technology and build were so radical, they created a new series instead. The Parker series is a step-change in design. All drivers are custom-designed, allowing us absolute control of the components...

I like your wife!
My wife, always asking me to replace the Monitor Audios for something I can put on a shelf or suspend to a wall. 😂

Had a nice drive down to Bicester to purchase a PA20R, 60P and 125M x2 from Kevin Green yesterday.



In preparation to purchase a pair of Mourdant Short Performance 6 speakers.

 

[Revolutions]

Wow, seriously impressive setups 🤩

My favourite part is the rack that grows & grows. It’s taller than the floorstanders!

The system will still be working in progress after acquiring the Mordaunt Short Performance 6 speakers. The turntable is a dilemma.
I have two options:

Thorens TD2035 (Black)



Unobtainable because lack of availability. Never seem to come up for sale on eBay or anywhere else.

AVID Acutus Reference SP Turntable



Unobtainable because its RRP is £25 610
