Like many of us here, this system was 20+ years in the making. I’ve tried to better the Quads but in my nearfield listening position they may be unbeatable. Stands and complete restoration courtesy of Electrostatic Solutions. Top and bottom supplemented with Sopranino 2 super tweeters and two REL T7i subwoofers.
I took a closer look, and this time noticed the (presumably Baltic Birch plywood) turntable platforms have black outer layers. Is the platform a commercial product, or DIY? Me likey!
