Hello Dctom,

Just came across your system thread. I'm considering active ATC's. Were you listening to Anni Series 50's prior to the 100's?

Congratulations :-)

System edited: Have replaced the Benz Ebony LP with a Shelter Harmony. The SH is much more detailed and refined than the Benz. Has a very healthy output of 0.5Mv.

System edited: Reorganised system. Mps-5 and ATCs all well integrated now.

Wow you your turntable ! Not sure I've seen one of those Kuzma's before!

Thanks for the kind words Bill, I have just found this post.
I think? I have sent an email to you via mypage.
Yes, I think Franc makes some great equipment and is always helpful when I have emailed him.
I am based in Wet Wales, UK. Used to own Linn naim gear (Like a lot of UK based audio types) and had a sme 20/2 TT prior to the Kuzma. None of which were as involving as my current gear.

Hey, Dctom: got to you through that thread on getting into vinyl. Impeccable taste on turntable and cartridge :) I'm thinking of a 4point to add to the Airline arm. I'm a big fan of Franc Kuzma's. Good to meet you virtually! What part of the world are you in? You can PM me if you like,
Best,
bill hart

System edited: I have now replaced the CD-5 with a Playback MPS-5. Replaced the ATC 50s with 100s fuller more realistic sound.

System edited: Have now added a second arm tower with Kuzma 4point arm on top

Thanks for the feedback.
yes the hanging rack is an attempt to isolate the components from room and floor vibration. I think it works as I have not been able to improve the isolation using various cones and supports etc.

Dapost the feet are pneumatic air springs. they are an industrial device designed to decouple machinery from the floor. They can be tuned by varying the pressure to filter out vibration. They help to stop low frequency resonance from the speaker feeding into my wooden floor, ie; 20hz and below. The speaker is decoupled from the floor so reduces the boomy resonance which is there otherwise.
the turntable is sitting on a similar sort of thing but works in the opposite direction, it is isolated from floor vibrations and resonance. The TT is massively heavy(94kg) and sits on two slabs- top one of polished granite the lower slate. there is a layer of vibration isolating material sandwiched between them. That lot then sits on springs set into the solid wood table. The whole lot weighs about 160/180 Kg. No acoustic feedback to TT now.
generally the room iseems pretty good acoustic wise .

Very nice!!!! The hanging rack is an interesting idea and looks very clean, what was your thinking, looks, isolation, the illusion of floating, all of the above, etc......

Great looking system,,always liked the idea of powered speakers! What a beautiful TT!!!

Great setup Dctom! Nice looking, too (which is not common for ATC gear). Being the owner of a pair of ATC100s myself, I would like to ask you what kind of feet you are using beneath your ATCs.
