Sorting out the Study a little, and re-deploying some ‘surplus’ older kit and mixing in some new kit with the Nait1/Nat01/Napst/Royd’s…
so now 3 ‘sources’ into the Napst - Nait = streamer, tuner, TT’s (via 1 dual phono stage)
Sound is very engaging, and puts a smile on your face… very entertaining !
If the S800 demo was recent I’m surprised you found anyone that still had them given they were discontinued a good few years ago now.
Royd Conistons?
It was a few years ago, factory vist
…at last… Another VPI in here … 
I wouldn’t mind working my days in there. Not sure I’d get much work done!
The current CAT SL1 Renaissance BPX has no peers, IME. I have owned a CAT preamp in one form or another for decades, so it has been easy to listen to various combos with it over time. I roll in NOS tubes into my CAT preamps, that also tends to widen the gap with all other tube preamps.
Although you may have to visit different vendors to hear these pieces, that is exactly what i would do.
One is a black and white photo and the other is in colour.
Do I win a prize ?
Other speaker. One size smaller. Testing T+A Criterion 2000. mine are the 2100er.
Its more detailled, bass is enough and the „curtain“ is gone
I moved my Kharma DB7’s further away from the wall, and added the floor protection cups that were missing from the crates.
The dealer recommended 18” from the wall, but where they sit now is the sweet spot from my former speakers. Here everything just snaps into focus, I don’t know how shoving speakers up against a wall can possibly work.
Damn close, Royd Eden’s…
I don’t do much/any work these days… 
The VPI TT’s are really very good ! 
You’ve added a record box?
Very nice looking, that plinth is just about the right height…
Enjoy
