We like Pass Labs over here too.
 
Great pictures Frank. Lovely system. I too have Pass (XA160.5, Xono, XP20) and SME (30/12, V-12) Have you tried the SME motor controller on the right side of the turntable away from the motor? Also, I just added a Vibraplane isolation platform under my turntable to good effect for increased isolation, though it did not make as big a difference as the one under my old SME Model 10 turntable. I can't quite tell from the photo. Is that cartridge the AirTight Supreme? Your system must sound great.
 
Looks like a CA Goldfinger. :)
 
Congratulations Frank. You have one of the best existing speakers with my favorite finish for these big speakers - walnut with mat black metal parts. I see you have many tube traps - do you have any other kind of room treatment?

Just the tube traps. Different sizes around the room.

Thanks Peter. It does sound great.
Jack has it right. The cartridge is the Goldfinger Statement. Had the Transfiguration Orpheus prior but the Goldfinger was a big step up.
 
How will the pass sound like when they are not stacked on top of one another....?

I was told by Pass that it wouldn't make a difference. They were made to be stacked. They have special feet that I've never seen on amplifiers before.
