Welcome aboard!!!! A Robert Plant fan is ok in my book!!

very, very nice.
What racks are you using

 

[Shadowfax]

They are VTI but I chose a strange configuration with silver tubes and gold caps. I have not filled them but they hold all my gear.

Not to worry...you should see the way I dress on weekends!

Is that a Counterpoint amp on the bottom? Looks like the one I have in storage... Afraid to turn it on since they are essentially impossible to repair now.

NPS-400 and I got mine serviced locally at RHB Soundezign in Richboro PA, they are a Tube Gear Mod and Repair house.

Nice! Are VTI and Loran racks the same (because those are the same racks as I have in my home theater)?

Have you investigated the sonic effect of the leather sofa? Although I love the looks and durability, changing out the leather sofa in my listening room was one of the best moves I have made (from a sound standpoint.)

Same sentiment here. I swapped leather for cloth and the difference in sound was not subtle. I'm looking for a replacement now, but material type seems to eliminate most everything my eye is drawn to.

I have never thought about it. That has been my room for many years and it won't wear out with just 2 of us.

The question isn't whether or not it will wear out (probably not) but rather what it is probably doing to the sound of your room and music (probably not good)

I understand that, but I am not really in a position to chuck my Natuzzi and buy something else.

I have a second setup in the family room, but also have a Leather Love seat plus upholstered chairs.

System 2 is currently-

Hafler 945 Pre-Tuner > Odyssey Stratos Plus > JM Labs Tantal 509s > OPPO 93 > All Tara Labs cabling. No good pics of that setup at the moment.
