A nice, simple music playing LP12 for a weekend/walking/skiing retreat. Plus a very happy owner.

Re: Show us your LP12
It looks somehow a bit painted rather than real grain in that pic. I still haven't got one of my afro one that I am really happy with. I think its the case with all wood.
Ekos on the Rubikon. Nice

Still looks great. I dont even try to take close ups...
As seen on my avatar I'm also in CH Wenge club.
Looking at it in real life it's incredible that you can do something like that with a piece of wood.Mr Onion wrote:It looks somehow a bit painted rather than real grain in that pic. I still haven't got one of my afro one that I am really happy with. I think its the case with all wood.

Yes, it is amazing what CH can do with a piece of wood. I'm literally in awe of his woodworking skills; especially as I can't do anything like it all
To Mr O. Yep, I do think that the Rubikon design and colour go well with the Ekos Se. Sound pretty good too

Re: Show us your LP12
I still like the Linn black plinths.

They look more stealth like imo.
I hate flying but its on my bucket list.One that will never get ticked off though.

Lovely Debs, just lovely. Is the Troika original or a rebuild?

Re: Show us your LP12
It's an original and still sounds sweet.
Me, I just love that Supex sound.
I'll have it rebuilt by Dom at North West Audio when the time comes.

This is my current deck, previously did have adikt/Ittok LVII but since moving my second deck on, I much preferred the Nima/10x5.

Nice Isoblue. Do you not find the amps get a tad warm? I got some extension for the shelves with them on.
Nice speakers as well.

Yes they do get a little warm when given a good thrashing, but it does not appear to of caused any issues yet.grimreaper46 wrote:Nice Isoblue. Do you not find the amps get a tad warm? I got some extension for the shelves with them on.

I was considering extensions when I first moved to Isoblue, but I didn't like the look of them made them look silly I thought, in Oak anyway!
I did really love the colour of your walnut Isoblue but sadly at the time Walnut was out of reach as it was part of the special branch iirc.
