IMHO black works far better with cherry.

This is the important thing to remember when choosing. Certainly in my room, I decided the silver legs would fit in better, even though I prefer the black legs. Sometimes, you just have to do what’s right.

Black uprights certainly look better imo

Oh, just stop it now.

I’ve even just googled Plasti-Kote flat black…

It’s even got me wondering if the horrible silver should be banished. Aaaargh…

Silver or black uprights aside, great album choice there Nigel.

Thanks Rack, you sold it to me!

We have the same number of black boxes but you have an extra shelve in each stack.

I’ve asked for a quote for 6 x Medium as this will provide space around each box without going much higher. I decided I will put the LP12 on the top right hand stack for now. I can always move it to a wall shelve later on.

As you suggested I won’t get much for the silver uprights, so be worth keeping.

The Silver of the 707’s went better but the 808’s are are more shiny, also the LP12 has a black plinth so I think the black will look better.

Thats for the DIY section of this site, innit?

New room treatment & new amp… finally had to move on from the Supernait 3, there just wasn’t great synergy in my system. The NDX2/XPS DR however are not going anywhere!

Hi HH
Is the PJ Harvey album any good ?

I too put a photo with the upgrades made between late 2020 and early 2021. Nd555 and 555ps dr instead of ndx2 and xps dr, took rega p10 turntable and prephono aria. added bass trap wall and bass trap corner artnovion. Added cisco catalyst2960c switch between united core and nd555. the rest of the system consists of nap 300 dr, nac 252 with supercap dr and focal sopra 2

. I would say that for a while I’m okay … :slight_smile:

My hearing aids were playing up yesterday and it was sounding murky in places. I’m not sure if it’s the record or my ears, so it’s hard to advise. The previous two demo albums have been great so I suspect it’s me.

You still using the n-sub?

What is the tube integrated?

It is a PrimaLuna Evo 300 integrated, currently running with KT150 power tubes and a pair of Mullard 12AU7s in the driver slots.

I borrowed it from a local dealer to compare amps with the Supernait 3 in an effort to continue to diagnose the problems I was hearing with the SN3, and was extremely impressed with the amp.

Here is a gallery of the current system!
