From your listening chair...

There's another one. They take it in turns

Oooo, so there are 6 woofers!

And 2

Didn’t know that you added an extra ‘woofer ‘ to your set up. Presumably you used treats rather than spikes to keep it in place?

Sounds a bit erm ruff though

Changes. The Croft "Big Pre" was due some TLC and with the very sad passing of Glenn a long term itch was scratched with the addition of a Tron Convergence signature phono. It's only a couple of months old and so still revealing it's full character, but let's say the G.T. reputation is warranted.
On the CD front the Exposure XM 5 as gone, replaced by a Project RS2 T and l have to say the glowing testimony it regularly receives is fully justified. I've added a L.T.A. lps from the US and together with an Audio Note dac redbook has never sounded so good.
And apologies for having to see that dinghy carpet.... the thought of firstly moving all that kit gives me the shivers! Happy listening.

Excuse my ignorance, what are the black boxes at the left and right edges of the photo?

And have you got a pre and power on the left for digital duties and the same on the right for the TT?

And is the black box at the front a centre speaker, or sub?!

So many questions

 

[bullinachinashop]

This little lot are sounding fabulous, really exceptionally good. A bit of a 'surprising' system, but all the bits do play nicely together!

Those Zingali speakers look magnificent!!!

Rugless at the moment whilst my puppy learns that weeing is for outside!

Here's my view:

Ask away The two Black boxes are the speaker crossovers, meaning A LOT of extra speaker cable.
The four silver boxes either side of the turntable are all one preamplifier, so left and right channels, line stage and power supply.
The black box front and centre is the power amplifier. The actual sub is partially hiding behind the right speaker.

Glad to know iam not the only one running external crossovers with copper shielding. A lot more cables yes... But I find its worth it in the end.

Definitely worth the investment, being both in money and floor space.
I believe your whole speaker setup is bespoke much respect for that approach.

Thanks for the kind words sir

The amps are a Linn Klimax Pre Amp and a Linn Klimax Twin power amp. The CDP is a dCS Puccini.

Not sure if I've put up a photo since the move from Node2 to Innuos ZenITH 3 and as its a sunny evening.

Wowzers. So dedicated pre-amplification for each channel?! But one power amp, not mono blocks?

And do the crossovers send a signal to the sub, or does it come from the power amp?

Yes the pre's were really designed to work with mono blocks, but this type of power amp (triode Western Electric 300b push pull) works superbly with this speaker, and so l stay with what works, to these ears at least, 15 years and counting in this configuration
That synergy is extended through to the sub, it being wired from the power amp and therefore retaining the characteristics of the amplification

I think we need some better pictures of the dogs.

Here's mine, albeit long since departed.

There's some in this thread but I'll put a few more in tomorrow. Hopefully the link works ok.
