Thank you. I don't like the FP, TV, centre channel and all the contraptions in middle. But, your speakers and amps alone I love them.

Thanks David! You did see that this is temporary until the remodel, right?

Looks good. I've always enjoyed the look of a Mac stack.

Now just going through some great vinyl. I have to say the sound coming from this new setup is remarkably better than using the integrated amp. It almost feels as if several layers were removed and I am now getting crystal separations and beautifully refined power. Truly amazing. I can tell the 802s are very happy as well. I purposely spent a good amount of time listening to the same tracks before I made the change so I had a fresh memory if it. Only regret is the rack system that I bought before getting the components. It doesn't have adjustable shelves so the 452 only fits on the bottom by removing the last shelf. Also would prefer to have the C2500 so those great glowing tubes can be seen, so may take out the second shelf since it's not being used now and lower it. If anyone has any good rack recommendations that'd be great. Love the way this one looks but just need adjustable shelving. Have a few other Qs as well but will post those in the appropriate areas.
Nice upgrades! Can I ask where you got your turntable lamp? That looks interesting.
