Best,

Thanks Des... I know my usual aliases are used for the author & copyright. I will have to check the rest. I can't see serial no's in the metadata from within Lightroom?

Pics were taken in RAW+JPG. The RAWs were used after the Lightroom Lens Correction filters were applied & images reduced to JPG.

Thanks guys for the compliments. I hope to take some close-ups of some other HiFi stuff. I enjoy this type of photography & trying out the new lens was fun.

Cool photos that Steve.

Funnily I was more mesmerised with the grooves in the vinyl, especially the wobbly ones towards the first 3rd of the record.

More vinyl shots please

Shall do! Looks like I'm going to have to buy that macro flash afterall.

That Album in the pic was: Time Out - The Dave Brubeck Quartet Side 3 45rpm. (AAPJ 8192-45)

Hi Steve, a visit from me.

Very beautiful Mc system and nice pictures too.
I am sure the system will sound great.
I would love to have a room full of these blue meters too.

There's enough WireWorld fever here on AA for me to have the motivation to transition into the G7 Platinum Eclipse loudspeaker & XLR cables on the 2-ch side plus XLR for the centre channel MC2301 amp.

The Wireworld G7s are replacing Furutech Flux which are a great cable BTW. The rhodium plate takes well over 1000 hours to hit their peak & for the sparkle to come through solidly. This cable was a little forward for my room & I have been wanting a little more soundstage depth & transient decay without any loss in speed or resolution. Hopefully as silky smooth as the Siltech & fraction more warmth to the top end like the Zitron Anaconda XLRs. After a week on the cable burner, a weekend system rewire & tidy up, it was finally time to slip them in.

Having undergone major disturbances as a result, I am expecting some pain ahead with the new XLRs pushing all 3 MC2301s & loudspeaker cables driving the Dali Grands. Not to mention, existing cable which has been disturbed, re routed & repositioned.

First up, HT passthru, to get current into the entire loom & relax the aching back muscles from hours of wiring contortion. Well, the first hour was pig ugly. Bright, harsh & no bass. Smeared & blurry, even the db levels are down. I'm not even going to think about re calibrating the HT surround processor for awhile.

The second hour it's all starting to settle. I can hear potential there. I know it will snap into place over the next 48 hours & then continue to improve. Patience. Maybe later, I'll spin a SACD to see where it's at & then run the Isotek CD on repeat overnight.

Excitement & some further anxiety ahead!
