Listening some emotionally moving music by Anne Bison, system sounded nice and looked pretty too. Here’s a picture.

Post your pictures and experience!

Hi Deuter,

Oh my that system looks really high end. What is the brand of speaker? Wilsons?

This is an old photograph taken before I moved house. I'm using a bryston bd1 for streaming etc and a Redwine Audio isabella preamplifier. The SST Ampzillas are very good.

Cheers Rod

Nice, love the Red, I do have a Focal Home Theatre System in all red and it looks fantastic.

The speakers are Wilson Sasha’s

I have heard really good things of the Res Wine Audio Preamps, never really heard one. Have you had it for a while?

Hi dexter
Love those blue speakers.
Must admit that I am partial to blue.
That turntable on the left looks pretty impressive.
What particular turntable is it?
Don't recognise it from a distance.
The room looks very spacious.
Very nice set up.
Looks like you have many hours of enjoyable listening there!
Look after yourself.
Bruce

Hi Guys,

Wow Wilson Sasha's

. I could never afford speakers like that but I'm happy with the Salk Sound HT3's which use Aurum Cantus ribbon tweeters, seas excel midrange and a 10 inch custom bass driver. I was lucky to buy these and ship from the USA to Perth when the aussie dollar was about 90 cents to the US dollar.

I dropped off a pair of Salk Sound Song 3's to a friend to play with. His speakers in the photograph were built by Pat from War Audio which use raven 1 ribbon tweeter and focal mid/bass drivers in an mtm configuration. I bought the Song 3's secondhand for 2.8k in mint condition from a guy in Perth. I figure they would cost about 6.5k to import into australia.

I think they were just shy of 8k including shipping and import duties. I haven't tried the Ambrosia preamplifier at this stage due to room size limitations.

Cheers Rod

Thanks Bruce.

The turntable is probably a hidden gem that is not very well known.

It’s an Opera Consonance Droplet LP 5 MK2.
