I like your Vicoustic panels too.
That is a stunning and beautiful looking stack.
Love the rack and hardware color contrast.
Nicely done!

My modest little set up. I've had the Performance SE for 2 years now and it's still my pride and joy. Package deal with Satisfy Carbon directwired arm and Maestro Cart.

Thanks Parabellum. I'd be itching to get any cart on it and give it a spin. I admire your self control. Although, I remember I waited for a whole week with mine, just so I had the house free and a good few hours to set it up properly.

By the way, no comments on the first photo? Purely a happy co-incidence, which I spotted after the event. Does everyone see it?

Beautiful photos.
How do you like the Maestro cartridge?
I've never had the pleasure...though have heard good things.

I'd love to post a picture of mine, but I don't have it yet. New ETA for a Performance DC in my hands looks like early to mid September.
