Sure is Dr Mark. A find it a real sanctuary from work. Your room isn’t too shabby either.

Think you need a bigger screen. :+1:

Just found this similar power strip, if that helps

Thanks Paul (I think you are Paul?) - I found it on the River here in the States for $219. Not going to buy it absent recommendations of others, but it was an intriguing looking unit.

Yep, it’s me.
Just googled power strips with meters.
No knowledge or experience if them.
Nice looking tho’.

Setup in my office at home. Enjoying this more than I can say - just awesome.

Nowhere near as impressive as so many of the fabulous systems pictured on this thread but in my small room, this really is fantastic.

You are right. The end of up-graditis is, I think, the 552, the 500 and the 808s with an appropriate source. I use the 555 streamer but there ate other choices … the trouble is you turn to your second system!

No indication that you actually do any work in the office other than music listening and water (vodka) drinking :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

808’s can be driven actively - no worries there is life after the end of upgraditis.

What are the speakers, please?

…looking @Nearfield profile he has “PMC 25.21i” listed.

Always a good place to check with a mouse click on the users name usually displays the system if completed by the member.

Damn - rumbled!

Might have been something else in the glass that is usually mixed with tonic water… :shushing_face:

Classic pair of Isoplats, had a couple back in the day under the Cyrus 2 / PSX R, no idea where they wandered off to.

@AndrewG - @seakayaker is quite correct from my profile - speakers are PMC 25.21i.

They’re really great speakers in my use case - I can thoroughly recommend them.

I auditioned a set of PMC floorstanders before getting mine and they were the only ones that tempted me away from the Olympicas

That’s exactly where mine came from - one under a Cyrus 2 & PSX that I bought in '92 - plus the second for under the CD player.

I kept them packed away ‘just in case’ for the last 20 years - and dug them out last September when I created the setup that I now have in my office. I was expecting the sorbethane to be solid and dead - but in fact it was as good as new!

So, they now try to isolate the G1 and SN 3 from the desk coupled to the speakers. Not perfect by any stretch, but for sure, better than nothing. I’m sure that a Fraim under the desk would be far better - but that’s another chapter for another day…

Now enjoying the new CAT and Graceline cable from Chris Sommovigo.

The Graceline cables are pretty special…

I still have a couple, one Mission, and one Cyrus. The former ‘resting’ at home and the other on indefinite loan under a friend’s turn table.
