A side project here this spring is a reorganization/reconfiguration of my office area (no pics of that yet until I'm done) ... along with that I'm also working on getting some better storage and organization of my (ever expanding) LP collection.
Finally or new demo pair of Rega Aya speakers are here! The Aya's feature a rather unique cabinet material (custom [fiber] glass reinforced cement) for a modern day speaker, but they are not as heavy as you would think. These 2.5way $2,295/pair speakers are a easy 6 ohm load and with over 89 dB efficiency, a few watts goes a long way. I'm looking forward to trying them with some tube amps, but right now they are breaking in mated up to a Rega Elex integrated amp in our upstairs/small room.

One of our new turntable/cartridge combo's now on demo here! This Rega Research Planar 6 in matte white finish ($1,875 retail) is sporting a Dynavector DV20X2 low output moving coil cartridge ($1,250 retail). To optimize the table and cartridges performance, alignment was done using a Wallytractor alignment tool for Rega tonearms to a Baerwald alignment for a accurate alignment, a Rega Heavy (120 gr) Tungsten counterweight ($195) keeps it mass closer to the pivot point, a 2mm Rega Stainless Steel VTA shim installed under the arm to get the VTA as right as one can on a Rega arm, and then its topped off with a Sublima Research Mat Chakra turntable mat ($300) from Italy to help optimize the table's platter interface. Oh, the cool white slab of vinyl on the table is Leonard Cohen's last LP, "You Want It Darker". The table/cartridge only has about 5 hours on it See More
