New speakers in the house:

I've always liked the look of those Arcs, assuming they are Arcs of course - they may be the newer replacements. Are they instead of the Facts?

HH: it's the Vertex, indeed a follow-up from the Arc. The fact's are up for sale. Fantastic speakers, but it was time to try something new. I will miss out on bass, but the relaxed presentation of the Vertex and their spaciousness is awesome...

The only Wilson Benesch speakers I've heard are the Chimeras, which are lovely. It's nice to see speakers that are a bit different.

were is the bass?

No doubt a Torus lurking spout of sight...

I'd wish. They deliver plenty of bass, nothing like the pmc's of course, but they stand their ground. That 7" tactic II mid-driver is a great piece of work.

My new Rega planar 3 with Elys2 but without PSU. Excellent SQ and good looks.

Your eyesight must be better than mine - all i get is a big white square with a little blue question mark in it and some text saying caption at the bottom ?

How strange, I can see it on my phone. 

Hang on... ok i can see it in the Chrome browser but not Safari. Problem's obviously at my end. 

Also a white square for me with Safari. Appears it is an issue related to Safari.

The impact that the 500 had on my system was hard to miss:

Then I had to sort this lot out:

Then finally you can get to do this:

These are all a bit vintage now but never posted before. I don't think my cable dressing will get full marks though.

After my previous post with the system in my man cave, this is the rest of the kit in the lounge. The second one includes cat protection device, as the senile moggy has the annoying habit of choosing the RP3 as a suitable seat if permitted. Suspect he will not last long though and then I get things back to how they should be.

dear quickben.

I would not place the P3 on a Naim rack. It sounds better on a light and rigid rack, like my ikea kallax. You also don't get best results by placing the Rega TT PSU next to the Rega Fono. There is a reason why the connecting cable is as long as it is!

You're probably right, but what he really needs is an LP12. My cat used to jump onto mine from the floor, sometimes while it was playing, and it never missed a beat.

The new P3 is sooo much better than the LP12 which sounds very colored in comparison

Wish I'd known I could have saved a packet on my LP12 Klimax Kandid

Is that a real hedgehog

If that's a real question, perhaps you need some new glasses. 

It's just resting!

Love the moggy rejection device,  but dontcha hate all those remotes 

....or it could be it's pining for the fjords I suppose......

And I had always assumed that the spikes went on the bottom of the Fraim.
