Thanks:-)
Nice simple system Rob.
I have the same set up. Well almost… I auditioned both the A7s and 25.23s. Both sounded great. I jumped the other way though and opted for the PMCs.
Plenty of pillar height to fit a 500 in there IanF.
Nice system!
Never think of trying that… I hate to have all sands leak out. Very messy.
Reply to @1GiantLeap That’s interesting I specifically went in to listen to the PMCs but the dealer suggested listening to the A7s and I preferred them.
Best pictures!! Congrats to all SETUPS, all looking amazing!!

Very nice looking Thorens TD-124 there, Audiogoose.
Thanks. Bought it from a local eBay seller 10 years ago, when it was described as non-working.
It was easily restored to a functional status, though somewhat noisy, but after a motor rebuild and a proper fitting belt, it now is totally silent. It pretty much rivals the SME 10 now in sound quality.
Contrary to what others have said about the 124, I find that very little maintenance is required. It has worked flawlessly for the entire time I’ve had it.
It still looks fabulous, rich.

did you compare focal vs dynaudio with naim?
My 2019 update: good music notation software and a good library of orchestral sounds. To work at best, I have added two delightful tiny masterpieces: a nuforce DDA-100 and a pair of Neat Iotas:
I have no words for how the combo exceeded my expectations. The nuforce is a fully digital amp with no DAC inside, treating the signal in the digital domain up to the speaker sockets, where it analogizes it. The Iotas - well, they are sincerely the first Neats I really like and I find their cleanness, transparency and musicality a joy to ears and heart.

Very nice Max - those Iotas are tiny !. Wonder what they’d sound like on the end of a Nait 1
I ave no idea. Bu the nuforce is exactly what I technically needed and has a natural, clean, no-frills voice that suits monitoring one’s work perfectly. I also play Apple Lossless music I have in my Mac, with excellent results. Let’s accept serenely that 35 years have passed since the Nait1.
Thanks and best,
Max
I’m thinking of myself here Max, not suggesting you purchase a Nait 1…
Ah…

May I ask which software? Personally I always return to paper …
