Default Georges (aka Antipop) System

Hi all,

On top of the pics I've posted when I received my Elipsa Red, here are a couple more showing the whole system.

The most recent change are the marble slate under the Elipsa which have greatly added to the sound of the system (and it makes moving the speaker much easier).

I know what I'd like to change but I'm still unsure of the correct way to go.

The main things are :
1. Add some room correction (at least some bass traps behind the speakers)
2. Improve the analog rig: new arm (SME V) and later a Sequel SP upgrade
3. Improve the digital rig: either a DAC or the DP-550
4. New cables: most likely full silver Wireworld with time
5. Misc: an RCM, SSD upgrade for the Mac Mini, linear alim for the Oppo,...

I believe the most important is to work on the room acoustic. I've already toyed with the idea and I got a quote from GIK but I didn't go ahead as it is my living room as well. Since I've seen Ivan's Cape house and he showed that you can integrate the panels in a clean way.

The idea is to put two bass trap in the front corners in green (GIK has a color close to my wall colour). Two panels on the side wall, two panels as well on the back wall and maybe a couple of panels on the ceiling.
