Hey Dan,

s1nn3r, I see you've gone to a Shelter 7000 cartridge, rather than the XX2MKII. My XX2 doesn't get much time in the system anymore, the Zu Denon 103R with ESCCO sapphire cantilever/Paratrace stylus mod is tough competition for the Dynavector cart.

Charles & Dan,

Thank you. Our journey never ends.

Hello Glenn,

Congratulations on your Clearaudio Innovation Compact. I see it has two arms, that's a great feature to have.

I also use a Dynavector XX2MKII cart. I've had it long enough for it to require a re-tip, which Soundsmith did last year. The ruby cantilever with the stylus Peter uses, to my ears, made the XX2MKII a better cartridge than it was new.

Enjoy, and regards from Whidbey Island,
Dan

Hello Glenn,
This is a very nice system that you've put together. I believe your addition of the Manley 300b preamp will improve what is already very good sound. Its affect will be impactful IMHO.

Thanks Doug. I usually call them man-noy in short for MANley and tanNOY combination. Lol

Hey Glenn, nice system. Congratulations on the Tannoys and Manley, great combination! Thanks for posting!

Dan,

Thank you for the admiration. Seems like we have the same taste in sonic reproduction for choosing Tannoy's. Those mural are actually GIK acoustics room treatment. I live 12 miles away from downtown Seattle.

As a fellow Tannoy owner, I admire your choice of loudspeakers. Kensington GR's have to just sound great with your Manley's.

I noticed the skyline in your mural of the Space Needle, are you perhaps in Seattle? If you are I live on Whidbey, a couple of hours from there.

Beautiful system and room, enjoy,
Dan
