Great system. I used to own a pair of Spendor 9/1 in rosewood. They must sound superb with the Roksan amps.

System edited: Replaced Apogee Rosetta 200 AD/DA with Prism Orpheus. Also using the Orpheus as a phono preamp. As configured it's no longer possible to listen to vinyl without the signal being converted to digital. The Prism is a cleaner, less sound colored converter than the Apogee with a little more low level detail. As a phono preamp used to digitize vinyl it is at least the equal of the Roksan Ref DXP SE it replaced.

System edited: Added Ramsy FM30 FM radio transmitter for broadcasting music to other systems in the house. At different times I've used various network streamers, but for me this is a better solution. I got the idea after attending AKFest and seeing a Ramsey tranmitter being used in one of the user exhibit rooms. It might have been the Radio X room, but not sure. Anyway, thanks for the idea, it works really well.

No place like the basement, at least when you have the gear there. Nice system. Love seeing the reel to reel. Happy listening.

Your system pics are underexposed. Expose for the speakers and not the window. That way, the windows will be blown (highlights), but the speakers and room ambiance will be rightly exposed - which is what you probably want to show in the first place.
