Been doing some spacing out of kit this morning. After biamping, and introducing the phono 2 w/ 2nd supply, things were starting to get just a little cramped for my liking. Although I had always been careful to keep power supplies well away from head units, the extra spacing has undoubtedly given a further sense of ease to the music. Now that's sorted, I might just let the kids put the Xmas decorations up :lol:

I found the music improves lots when distancing transformers from other parts of the chain.

I love that tea trolley - the ultimate in portable hifi :grin:

Jammy would have a fit with those cables though :lol:

PS. Bought the tea trolley off a salvage dealer in Middlesbrough - he has another:

All solid oak and heavy duty wheels. He took £60 for my one

We maintain separate homes. She will roll her eyes and laugh...but she won't mind lying on the settee listening to Schubert or such like while I'm cooking :roll:
