    Its is pretty good and you are getting your hi-fi on, you could improve it by removing that big box from the middle of things though, its destracting from the TT and the BAT gear. A few more tubes would be nice as well.

    Enjoy.

    I gotta keep the TV there. You'd understand if you played Call of Duty with the Emmys slingin' bullets over your head.

    As far as more tubes, I've been thinking about the idea of getting a couple monos down the road for the highs, but I don't have any solid plans for that yet. I'm pretty impressed with the performance of this system for now. They Emmys continue to amaze me.

    Very nice Mike. So how long will you keep this one?

    I'm willing to bet this one will last a while longer than the others. We'll see what happens. For the first time in a long time, I'm diggin threw mounds of music instead of gear . . . and I am loving it! Vinyl is amazing on this system.

    You will change your mind one day about this. Its simply a matter of time.

    Some nice BAT tube mono's on some amp stands would look awesome and take you to the next level.

    Looking good! Definitely an improvement from your past setup that had the amps and such in the middle of the floor in prime "step on me please" position.

    Nice work.

    Enjoy!

    Very nice looking set. My rig has a very similar look. You have good taste.:D

    I did not mean to threadjack. Just show the similarities.
    I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D

    That does look very nice, and I'm sure it sounds as good or better than it looks, but I think you need to spring for the high gloss piano black rubbermaid bin for your vinyl collection
