Some alterations to my living room (main) system

[The Knife]

My main system has undergone a few alterations as my interest for vinyl has increased significantly in recent time. I find Technics new Cartridge optimizing technic very promising .

OUT:
My old McIntosh 7270 with the C52 preamp combo is gone. So is also the Peachtree Nova 500 and the Exogal DAC with external power supply.

IN:
Technics SU-R1000 amp
Technics SL 1210GR Turntable with Ortofon Black LVB 250 MM
Torus power conditioner
Mutec Re-Clocker
A few cords here and there

Have a great day!

Maybe the glass table effects the sound in a negative way? Waves bouncing on it in all directions. Need to give that a thought because it rests on blocks from the Berlin Wall.

I am a firm believer in the 'golden triangle', nothing should be between your speakers and your listening position.

Sounds more like the Bermuda Triangle.

A question. I currently run 2x7 meters speaker cables due to how I have organised my home. They are 12 awg quality cables from Chord. Would you consider them to be a bottle neck? A very hifi experienced friend of mine says speaker cables should be maximum 2 meters long to reach optimal performance.

7 metres is not long and there will be no loss in sound quality imho.

I actually run 14 metres of chord cable to my speakers at the back of the room and it sounds fine.

Oh that's good to hear. But have you compared 14metres to say 2 metres in your system? You couldn't hear any difference?

No I haven’t. I doubt I would hear any difference.

I cart do the comparison between 14 metre cable and my other cables because they are different Brands.my shortest cable is audience 3 metres.

Ok. Understood.

Long vs Short Speaker Cables: Does it Really Matter?

This article explores if varying the length of speaker cables between speakers really makes a difference in audibility. Watch our related YouTube videos to see what truly matters in speaker cables.

Audioholics also suggest there are no audible differences on cables that short. Mathematical maybe. Perhaps. But Not noticeable for the human ear.
