Yep . I am the elderly guy who looks like he may be sitting down but is, in fact, standing up.
It was genuinely great meeting struts001 and he has been very generous in his comments about my system ( as had @all2ofme before). I mean 6+ from a scale that ends at a platonic ideal of 7 ( Classical music tips - #36 by struts001) !
For the record the cables are Audio Envy with wordclock cables from Van Damme Pulsar. The preamp is an EAR Yoshino PL 868 using Tungsram PC88s. Speakers are the domestic version of the ATCs. The same as the professional ones except there is no blanking plate to move the tweeters for horizontal positioning. And a lovely wood finish.
BTW, the thing poking out of my left shoulder is a Room Lens ( sadly no longer made).

Thanks @PAR , just learned something:
There are few postings around on how to DIY them. I can only say that it is essential that the supporting base prevents them from tipping over. The original has very heavy bases made from a dense casting.
Damn, I though my earthling disguise would never be penetrated !!
I am afraid the reality is a legacy from the severe illness I suffered a couple of years ago and which regular readers will be aware of. It is an emergency warning device that I have to wear 24/7. No effect on SQ that I can spot though .

Refreshing to read you are using cabling which doesn’t necessarily cost an arm and a leg. Recently I tried the green VanDamme digital AES cables I have (these came with my Vivaldi) as a temporary solution between my DAC and preamp. They actually perform remarkably well. I haven’t been inclined to take them out.

Exactly the same reason why the Van Damme wordclock cables remain.

The best I can do in a very compromised room. Left stack is Ypsilon Phaethon below Rega P10 + Hanna Umami Red, right stack is APEX Bartók + Rossini Clock above Rega Aura. On the floor below the Aura is the P10 PS plus my PhoenixNET. All powered via a Chord PowerHAUS M6. Power cables are mostly MCRU, interconnects are OePhi. Speakers are Wilson Benesch ACT 1 Evolution.
May look a mess, but sure sounds great.
Please don’t judge me!

That looks mega.
Rather modest in comparison to what many here own, but I’m very happy with where I’ve ended up.

After nearly two decades with Kharma Equisites for my main dCS Vivaldi setup, I recently moved up to a pair of Kharma Enigma Veyrons. Just three words to describe how it sounds (and looks!)… O.M.G

What an elegant room and rig.
Thinks: I may suggest trying a rug to deal with reflections from that hard floor. Just a thought.

Agree with @Ermos and @PAR. Stunning! 
(Also love your acoustic panels cunningly clad to look like real wood )

There’s usually a heavy shaggy carpet in place, but I’m still in the midst of taking measurements and fine tuning the speaker’s positions. Once the carpet goes back in, they can’t easily be moved. In fact, even without the carpet, the Veyrons are much harder to move around then my Exquisites as these are barely an inch off the floor, my low-profile jack/dollies don’t work
