Colin,
What the hell is your sistem doing between your speakers.
You have a large room, put it elsewhere please, it is at the worst place.
Almost the same for Neil, put your video gears elsewhere. And your screen is too high, you should have headeck after viewing a movie.

Energy - please describe your LP12 which looks great - year, spec, arm (RB1000?), cartridge, etc. Why the Rega arm not the Ekos?

Great idea.
One thread for all the drool inducing photos. (Although I am somewhat envious)
Another thread for comments on the pictures.

Is Naim the only way forward?
Ahh, Ahh! I'm burning!!

Damn - should learn to read shouldn't I!?
Nice Doors LP there, Energy
My pics are 9 months out of date but there's not a lot I can do about that, since my housemate's cluttered the gaff up with loads of Star Wars stuff and thus the hifi is totally compromised... The only one that isn't is the bedroom one, and then it IS by having fairly shoddy speakers and a low end rack and zilch system setup (what's the point if one of my ancient floorstanders has to sit in a corner!?
For all that it doesn't sound so bad...
The DVD player is now a Pioneer 656A - NOT that cheapo Samsung; my housemate DID put a nice widescreen telly in place of the Sony though

Some of those are very Heath Robinson...
I like the hifi reviewer's rig (what's his name again?) - messy, but it means business! Nice copy of Zappa's Sheikh ya bootie as well - I want to buy that just for the cover...

I do agree with JOhn's comment, however on the cable thing us naim amp users have a minimum of 3.5 meters of NACA5 to play with regardless so the absolute length od cable is a non issue within certain limits.
Anyway when you have speakers of the quality that Colin has the source of the music should "dissappear" where ever it is.

Alex,
The site is too complicated and full of non-standard code and markup. The scrolling doesn't work and the layout is wrong in Firebird and almost certainly other browsers as well.
I would scrap it all and start again.
My professional advice: Your site just has to display a small number of pictures with thumbnails and some text labels. If you find yourself using FRAMES you have probably done it wrong. If you find yourself with Javascript you have definitely done it wrong.
Also you have taken other people's pictures and stuck them on your website. If you have not asked other people's permission this is potentially a copyright violation and may expose you to legal action.
"When the right arrow is dark grey, there are more pics. But to view them, you must click on the left arrow first. That activates the scrolling function!"
That's just plain dumb.

"None of them have copyrights on them and were plainly posted here"
The creator of an image automatically has copyright. Except in Vietnam.
"If your browser does not support modern computer languages then I guess your browser is plain stupid"
My browser is fully standards compliant. Your problem is you have desinged your site for IE which is non-standard and full of bugs -- so much so that your site almost certainly doesn't work on all versions of IE let alone more modern browsers. It probably wont work as intended on IE on a Mac for instance.
"The thing about the grey arrows is crap. I know. But I cannot figure out how to make it work properly"
You don't need the grey arrows or the javascript. Get rid of them and the problem will go away.
"If its the arrow thing, then you have read it and it works then. Press the left one, then the right one will work too!"
Which, like I said, is just stupid. All you are doing is making your site hard to use, difficult to develop and annoying for your visitors. I can't think of a single positive benefit of your approach.
"I am no html programmer"
Even more reason not to have such a complicated design.

Err its not working very well for me Alex.
I am trying it in safari and firebird.
Also I have no idea what so ever what the grey arrow thing means, and there is a lttle grey line by your system, will probably be great when its done though.
ONly thing is not every one uses explorer any more, infact does any one?

Although note that in web design terms IE 5.x is different from IE 6.x. So much so in fact that 6.x would have stopped half the Internet working so MS incuded a "Quirks Mode" which allows IE6 to baheave like it has IE5's layout and rendering bugs.
IE on the Mac is different again.

Fair enough Matthew, I guess it would be fairer to say less mac users use Explorer, although to be fair its fine on my mac. But firebird is better.

Which browser to support - none of them you must support an open standard
The "IE only brigade" is the equivalent of demanding that this forum (and all the web) is conducted in chinese as there are more chinese speakers in the world than english speakers.
If you want to use the web to publish information to all for cultural or commercial reasons you do not start limiting the people that can use the site before they get a chance to see the site and determine that it is rubbish.

Alex,
It's arguably now even worse in Firebird -- as well as some sizing and layout issues you can no longer access the final couple of pictures in those sections where there are more than about 6 pictures.

Your trends seem to roughly match Google, which must be one of the more 'average Internet user' collectors of statistics.

Some hints:
1.) Too many images on one page: please make "subfolders" for each system.
2.) Don't use framesets.
3.) Script: better to keep it simple (eg without script) so all browsers can handle it.
4.) Don't enlarge the images like in Domfjibrown's System...
Here is a sample of a very simple image gallery...

I will explain what I mean because I am very glad that you build this gallery! As soon as my setup is ready I will send you pictures...
1.) If you add more people's systems the page is really getting too large. So it's easier to maintain if you have a "content"-page which links to the "subfolders". Also easy to make with Frontpage!
3.) I understand what you mean. Maybe it's possible to use original size of the images, only in case they are really big resize them.
Good luck! Jun

Alex your new website seems to bringing my browser to a massive slow down, the frames are a bit odd, and the pictures still wun off the side of the page!

I have never heard Spendors or ls3/5a but am always fascinated by the love they engender.
As I am, by necessity, limited to smallish bookshelf speakers, one of these days (when I have cash) I will track some down for a listen.
