System Pics 2022

Well your standards are clearly very different to mine. You are perfectly entitled to regard my suggestion as daft - I have no issue there. But there are ways of communicating this without being impolite.

It is not impolite for you to regard my suggestion as daft but is certainly impolite for you to come right out and tell me so especially as I was just being friendly to you. There is such a thing as good manners - something which you display little of.

Your comments on some of the ‘pottiness’ that goes on here were clearly intended to include my own suggestion which you made crystal clear by your closing comment of ‘wooden bun feet indeed. May as well use currant buns.’ So yes I feel entirely justified in taking it as a personal insult since that is exactly what it was. You have no qualms about openly calling my idea daft. That is not being rude in your book?

You seem to imagine that you have carte blanche in the way that you can address people. Well you don’t with me.

I’m wondering if we might add a category for dispute discussion, arbitration and/or resolution. We could call it padded cell.

Thank you HH, yes I feel very privileged after all those years with various iterations of a great brand to like you having landed with a replay, which I’m really really happy with. No more tinkering my end :sweat_smile: Best Peter

Time to get back on topic here.

Pete and HH, rather than turn the thread into a personal argument, if either you take specific issue here and feel that forum rules have been breached then by all means please flag upon the post in question and message me accordingly and I shall review and make a judgment. Thanks.

To get back to the system pics, here’s my current set up, which is still subject to negotiation.

Nothing new in the system but speaker placement fine tuned. You often read the expression that speakers disappear but it seems to me that it’s the room, that wall behind the speakers just isn’t there when the BPO need the space.

The Stressless chairs have just arrived, meanwhile the blue sofa, which was meant to be a temporary measure is proving hard to dislodge.
The table is probably not ideal but rarely presents an entirely flat surface and I can’t get agreement to put it in another room.

Well Yeti, you’ve got ample diffusion on the surface of it, so I wouldn’t worry about it :rofl: ATB Peter

Well said, the bickering is pathetic.

Ok, here is my system, showing my LP12 with a
mid-70s copy ( SHVL804 ) of DSOTM, including my latest purchase, my ATC SCM40a 'speakers hopefully encapsulating a number of threads in one

As indeed are posts like this. You have the option to ignore what you don’t want to read.

As Scotty (Simon Pegg) says in the J.J. Abrams first reboot of Star Trek - “I like it here” :+1:

You have been spared all that junk food though!

Great!

I much prefer to read a humorous quip than reading forum members taking lumps out of each other.

Yes of course I couldn’t agree more but on the other hand until you read a post you don’t know the content. As with yours to me, perhaps you want to start something else. All I am encouraged to do is to stop following this particular forum and ignore everything that follows which on reflection is the best thing for me to do.

A sense of humour can come in handy sometimes on this forum. Self righteous indignation less so and if a put down is warranted injecting a bit of humour into it makes it all the more effective.

I have ordered a Stressless Mayfair for my small room: Paloma leather, Sparrow Blue with Whitewash woodwork. Not cheap, but will hopefully last me years and years

They are really nice looking speakers!

I think ours are palermo, if it’s fine grained and soft to the touch. I was intending something more minimalist than the Reno, which I don’t find the best looking with a bit too much rhinoceros about it, but I they were by far the most comfortable and I don’t tend to slouch in it as the evening wears on as much as I do in most chairs.

I’d show a pic of my latest kit. I accidentally purchased a recently serviced CB 140 and 62 and asked DPD Local to bring it over to me on 30th June. It hasn’t arrived.

They assure me it is safe and being looked after by their top men.
