Just added a Durand Talea in place of the Wand Plus -- this had had a transformative effect on my mono playback and I'm enjoying these old recordings more than ever. Talea plus Miyajima Zero is a g...

Thanks for the reply. Your assessment matches my own. The complexity of the Entreq solutions and the release of continuing upgrades put me off whereas the Telos seems more intelligently designed. I...

I was thinkInc if adding the Telos GNR to my system. Have you had a chance to compare it to other ground solutions such as those from Entreq? Thanks

I also meant to add a quick explanation of the pic I posted showing the effect of the active isolation under the TT. This is a composite of three traces from the TS-150's display. It shows two hori...

Some further tweaks -- in particular optimizing the SR FEQ to room interface by installing custom Symposium Segue platforms and Rollerblock Jrs under each FEQ. Also optimized the grounding by havin...

Nice system -- are you still using the GPA Amp Stands? If so have you tried getting the Apex ball footers? I recently added these to my stands under my power amps and the effect was substantial (cl...

Thanks for the comments @slaw. The rear connection on the Brooklands is actually not a ball at all but is a rod/pin that faces out from the wall fixing and into the carbon fibre shelf. The rod is d...

Current updates to the system -- added an Acoustical Systems Palladian LOMC in place of the Air Tight PC-1. This is quite a special cartridge I believe. Still low hours on this and I'll report back...

Thanks for the question @1digital -- there's a lot of different SR stuff all of which solves different problems. The ART system (the cups) is a rather specific r...

@shadorne -- thanks for the kind comments about my system. As you might appreciate I was somewhat constrained by the size of room available to me -- it actually started out roughly 1-2' deeper (i.e...

The tower you see between the speakers is a Synergistic Research Atmosphere. This is a ULF/LF frequency generator that helps energize the room and all the other SR components (the various HFTs in p...

Thanks agear. I was pretty restricted by the space I had to work in. We combined a small office and adjacent bathroom but could not make the room deeper than 10' without cutting into the entryway b...

Quick suggestion triggered by your last picture, which I believe is of the back of your phono amp. If you have not already done so please try unlooping the input RCA cord - the one you have a yello...

Thanks for the suggestion, I have a number of the original MPCs lying around so may be worth doing a side by side on all my Galileo's. Thanks
