Thanks, Ack. You've even heard one of the turntables in the photos. There is a picture of my SME 30/12 sitting on its ballasted Vibraplane.

And?!??:confused: Like I haven't heard other equipment on that site?

So what systems have you heard on that Facebook page? some of them look pretty amazing. Any of the horn systems?

I said equipment (like your TT), not systems (the site includes both), on that site. Either way, irrelevant to the thread what I have heard...

I've heard mine a fair amount. ;)

It (my previous room) appears twice.

Doesn't look as cool as some of the others, though.

Yes, I noticed the photos of your room Jim. Quite a few photos of Tannoys and tubes. Your old room sure was beautiful and I've read that it sounded great. I love the low racks in the center and the green plants. I could have spent hours sitting in front of that. I'm sure the new room is even better.

I did spend hours listening to his previous room (well at least a couple hours :)) and it left such an impression on me, certainly one of the best systems I've ever heard!

A big THANKS to Olivier Dechelette for his fascinating FB page, as he apparently retires it. What a wonderful dedication to this hobby, and a true internet museum. But do join his group. I will miss his Good Night messages, with those ever ethereal beings... and here's one of them
