System Pics 2021

A great line from MASH (the TV show) is when Hawkeye says he wants “a martini so dry that there’s dust on the olive…”

It looks good. I like the double width look. And the dark wood and marble.

I couldn’t agree more. It really is a wonderful forum.

Thanks, @Dynaudio1. They do look “of a piece” on the Kantas. But more importantly, for me they provided a very worthwhile upgrade for a relatively modest outlay.

Thank you for asking. It’s really very, very good, and I’m just delighted with the Planar 10, Apheta 3 and Aria 3 as a combination. Listening just now to an album recorded in 1956 and it’s just wonderful. The Rega combination is not cheap, but compared to a lot of vinyl rigs it’s an absolute bargain. Rega really do make some great stuff.

Must be an outstanding route going from P6 to P8 with the Ortofon and now to P10 with Apheta and adding the Aria. I bet it is sounding simply wonderful with your Supernait and the Tablettes. Congratulations! Do you have an amazing time by re-discovering your record collection with this real endgame-source-setup?

I’m really enjoying playing my records for sure. The Planar 10 is just a lovely thing to own and enjoy, and shows what a really good source can achieve, even with a relatively modest amplifier and speakers.

Nothing modest about any of your kit. You’ve got a great system there that follows the golden rules perfectly. Diminishing returns cuts in extremely fast from where you are now so just marvel in its bang for buck is my advice.

Not my system! Staying with my friend @Endon in N Yorkshire. Another bottle of wine open, fire on and Gillian Welch playing

Totally legit crispyduck - the thread is “system pics” not “your system pics” - enjoying music, wine, and friendship; sounds like a great combination!

Did you already listen to Moby’s Reprise, which is laying there on the right? :wink:

True.

I was looking at the P10 but just a stretch too far and very happy with the P8 which represents great value imo. Never played so much vinyl and SQ now on a par with the CD5XS.

At some stage I was tempted to get rid of my LP12 that I bought in 1985. Since then it’s been through lots of upgrades starting in 2004 when I bought the ‘big’ system. Since then I added about 500 records from German Oxfam and flea markets and an okki noki. So glad that I did not get rid of it. All HiFi took very low priorities in 2013 where we built a new extension to our holiday house, but recently back again with complete services recently finished with the last but not least the CDS3
