Love taking pics of the gear

From when I was about to upgrade speakers 5 years ago.
It didn't end up with Tidal Piano at the time but that's another story.

I know that feeling, still have mine left as well among others...
Long since evaporated but saved for nostalgic reasons.
(apologies for some of the pictures being blurry).
Nice!
The pics are pretty good.
Love the velvet "brush", I think probably everyone who had a turntable had one. LOL
I have mine also but I don't really know where it is, must be in the same storage box where I dug this up a while ago:
Apologies for the slight derailment of the thread.
Ah, an HH Scott reciever. This was my very first piece of kit. Back when R2R and vinyl were pretty much the mainstream sources.

Apologies for the slight derailment of the thread.
Allow me to give you a helping hand...
Loving all of the pic's in this thread! I'll try and add a few from my system... please be kind, as they were taken with just my iPhone.
On the left is my custom push/pull amp utilizing NOS German EL-84's, NOS Mullard rectifier and I find myself switching between NOS Mullards/Tele's for the 12ax7's. My single ended triode amp using 845's is to the right.
Recently added a Jay's Audio dedicated cd transport and a Mojo Audio Mystique X-24AM R2R Dac seated just below it.
My trusty and much loved Linn LP12 (modified), seated in a Brazilian Rosewood plinth, Naim ARO tonearm, Benz Zebra Wood bodied Ruby ZH S-class moving coil cartridge.
My Wavestream Kinetics Deluxe Reference Level 5.1 phono stage (all tubed using NOS Mullards, with no jFET's or step up transformers being utilized in this unit and it is providing me with up to 62dB of gain with extremely low noise - I believe with the external power supply, the noise is below 1uV (one-millionth of a volt ) competing with the best of the solid state phonos) sitting to the right of my 845 amp below my turntable. Bottom shelf center is my First Sound Presence Audio Dual Mono all tubed line stage with an enormous power supply sporting capacitance of over 230,000 mfd's, which is more than most state of the art behemoth solid state power amplifiers.
My Dunlavy Audio Signature SCIV loudspeakers, 6ft tall and 180lbs each, designed in a completely sealed cabinets with no ports, 91dB with a stable 5 Ohm load, using two 10" long throw bass woofers, two 5.5" mid woofers, and a 1" soft dome tweeter. To the right is my Montagnana cello and one of my tenor trombones.
I would be remiss if I didn't include pictures of the most authentic music maker in my house - my beloved Montagnana cello
Thank you for your indulgence! Wishing you all a very happy and healthy New Year!
Best wishes,
Don

WOW - special congratulations on the Montagnana cello. Playing it must give greater satisfaction than any music system, IMO.
Quite lovely all. Wood, carpet, lighting, art and curtains set the mood for listening.
Thank you everyone, for all the very nice and wonderful comments on the pictures of my system 
You all have most definitely warmed my heart!
Best wishes to everyone for a very Happy and Healthy New Year, filled with great music and much love!
