Wow, you're deck is really looking superb!
Maybe if I'll pass the border this summer for some trout/salmon fly fishing I can hear it in person :D

Anyways, good job =D>
Do you dare to share your total amount spent on it?

I've put the rewiring project on hold, too risky and non-reversible for my taste...

But, today a shipment from Analogue Seduction arrived. Always a pleasure to deal with those guys!

New shoes :)

Image





Installing these is easy as one two three!

Image





One down, two to go

Image





Before ....

Image

...and after :)

Image






They really look nice! Haven't listened since installing them half an hour ago, but I don't expect a revelation.

The P5 looks like it's floating with it's new shoes.

Well I don't really believe those P9 feet can improve the sound, but they really look good! Your table looks really nice with those feet Rolf!

That makes (at least) two of us, Indydan :wink:
The difference is the feet turned upside down and an aluminium ring to give a better look. And the better look was achieved 8)

Time to sit back, relax and enjoy the music :)

That's what's it all for and about! With all the gear talk going on it sometimes seems that people forget that gear is a means to an end and not the end in itself.

Cheers,

This is a gear-talkin' place aint't it :wink: :D
Sometimes it's hard to believe that we actually listen to music too. :lol:
Haven't really been to the music section of the forum, but will do today.

Honey we know the names
We are the people that can find
Whatever you may need

In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your shun na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, knees, knees!
(...or P na,na,na,na,na 9 feet, feet?)

Nice setup and congratulations on the TT upgrade!

I want to know about that stand that all your gear is on please. Who makes that? Where can I get one? :) It looks exactly like what I need.

Thank you sir!
