One of the benefits of a toroidal transformer is that the lines of magnetic flux are focused inward towards the center of the toroid instead of radiating outward. If the speaker wires were draped over the top of the toroid that would be poor design.
-
Correct, it's highest in the center, but the magnetic field does exist outside. Following the round contour of the transformer isn't the best choice. It would have been better to put the transformer at the side of the enclosure to keep wiring away from it. Side issues is that the enclosure's center-of-gravity is on the side.

@mhardy6647 Isn't there a potential for negative effects/interference/distortion by having the internal speaker output wires running this close to a transformer?
Well... the idea of the toroidal PT is to minimize magnetic leakage -- so it shouldn't be as big a deal as it might be for a traditional "E-I" type PT.

Oh, the humanity:
Help! I can't breathe...
I know you're limited on space but I also know you could never make a stack like this. Never.
I wonder WHY the owner had to do this. The owner doesn't even have room for the TT's cover... wow.

As a side note, it really bothers me that on a $10k integrated they appear to have used some of the cheapest most generic looking binding posts I've seen:

I can't imagine buying a $4k SA-KI Ruby and then putting a cheap Pioneer turntable on top of it like that. Cruel and unusual. -

There are no words.
Is that a Dodge Diplomat reboot or a Ford Fairmount reboot?
-
Yes.

or if you consider Projective Geometry:
In projective geometry, any pair of lines always intersects at some point, but parallel lines do not intersect in the real plane. ... Also, if any pair of lines intersect at a point on the line at infinity, then the pair of lines are parallel. Every line intersects the line at infinity at some point.If you are going to do something STUPID, do it FAST so it doesn't affect someone else. -
... and then there's Riemann (Riemannian) geometry.

That dude was coached (poorly). He really likes a bitter IPA.

Some IPA's taste like the smell of a pinecone IMHO, but when you get a good one they are very good.
Dogfish in general do a good job2-channel: Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Dynaudio C1-II Signatures

They not taste like shitte to me they dry my mouth out like the Sahara desert. I could strike a match 🔥 -
spent some quality time last night and this morning trying to resurrect an adorable NAD 1600 preamp/tuner that belongs to a hifi colleague who lives across the river. I did not succeed. I did get it to power on (it was dead as received, but that seems to be related to some multipin connectors), but cannot get good quality audio out of it. Assessed and evaluated all of the usual, typical issues -- 'tis a puzzlement.
Meanwhile, the preamp section in this monstrosity works OK (the power amp section is at least partly toast, so it has been deactivated)... so I offered to pass it along to the NAD's owner when I return the latter to him as-is. No phono section in it, though, unfortunately.
