Congrats Pete!
Certainly worth the wait, right?
Another in a series of great audio events! Epic you could say.
And "Groovy"
Nice work, man!

Congrats Pete. Absolutely beautiful set up that probably sounds as good as it looks. Enjoy…

Sweet table! I have it in black with the Bronze and I love it. Enjoy!

Drop dead gorgeous. That’s a plan coming together.

Beautiful. I love seeing systems like this with photography to match.

Gorgeous. Your setup is just beautiful. I owned a VPI Aries for nearly 30 years. Loved it. About a year ago I sat on the fence between that model (I have been improving the look as well as sound of my system for the last few years) and a Linn LP12 in rosewood. I chose to go the other way knowing they were both great routes. Congratulations!

Thank you all for your kind compliments. Although I never really left vinyl, I'm rediscovering it now in a big way. I really love this turntable, cartridge, and phono preamp. I've already begun accessorizing, so stay tuned! :yes: :yes:

Extraordinarily well done system, Pete. Especially love your attention to detail. So I'm not surprised you love what you're hearing. Bravo

New homes for the old
 
When my new VPI Prime Signature was set up, it didn't mean end of life for my faithful Harmon-Kardon T60 turntable, or the platform I made so many years ago.

The turntable is now on duty in my Florida room system. With its Ortofon 2M Black cartridge, its a perfect companion for that system. After 38 years, it is still in nearly mint condition. (The AR-4X speaker you see in the photo is static).

The platform that the T60 rested on for so many years has also found a new home-in the kitchen, of all places.
