Pretty spectacular pictures 
Leica quality !

The house , I assume is tucked back in the pond in the one photo? 

My first guess , with the mount, in hifi room 
Was South Africa , along with the English gentleman components 

The pictures & notes have you right here in us 

One of My audio buddy’s has the camera addiction like you do to 

Spectacular photos , you are a lucky guy 
Really, not just saying that

Lol, I was reading posts this morning on audiogon 
Your “ sitting in the flowers “ analogy(s) was a classic 

Your room has me wondering , how , is the outside view to go with it. 

My analog buddy had his favorite cartridge retipped, by soundsmith and is very happy 

Never heard a decca

Magnificent setup
The log cabin & high ceiling !!

So, The question for analog guys 

What cartridge & arm is your favorite ? 
SME 10 is a great turntable 

The quad setup …
Will it fill the huge room ?
