Very cool room and certainly a hierarchically correct system. But where's the turntable? ;-)

A good point! This is the system in my little flat in London and I rather like it for its minimalist approach. One of the reasons I love DS is I now don't need 1,000s of records and CDs cluttering the place up. They have all been packed off to my weekend place where I now have an MDS-I and am about to set up a turntable - nothing fancy, probably just something from Rega. For now. Clearly it will be a slippery slope...

Yes, doesn't get much cleaner looking than that. Really nice. Kind of Japanese in its simplicity - I can see you there with a cup of green tea listening to something relaxing.

Make that claret and you're spot on...!

Very nice flat (a la John Pawson).
Did you compare your set-up to the same set-up with preamp (KK?) ?

Funny you should say that... Here is the kitchen in my weekend place... My long term plan is to have a whole house built by John Pawson. Just need to find the plot!

I had a KK/1 up until a couple of months ago. With the Renew it was essential. With the kds/1 I prefer it direct. The sound is possibly a bit thinner but the detail, pace and timing are so good that I can live with that!

Your weekend place is absolutely stunning !

A house built by John Pawson would be my dream as well.

Very very nice tmilligan!

We renovated our house last summer, so I've done more then my share of architecture surfing. If I was building something new and my bugdet was big enough, I would contact Suppose design office. The way they adapt the buildings they create into the environment is nothing short of ingenious.

Jesus, looking at this makes me realize that I just HAVE to sell this place sometime and build a new house from scratch!

EDIT: It also makes me realize how much I hate the Swedish climate...

It was red. It all hits the spot!

Here, finally, are some slightly poor pictures of the system I have in the small snug sitting room next to the drawing room in my weekend place. In the winter I spend a lot of time in here... Also an obligatory shot of the view!

Looks like a wonderful weekend place!

The sekrit ds-i is now wired properly into my kitchen ...

I guess I better have a go at the jumble of wires some time soon....

Oh, and an updated photo of the London system now that I am back to the klimax renew. Frees up some cash for, ooh, I don't know - maybe some tundra monos and a lejonklou pre... :)

I *think* there is a Kikkin 2.2 sitting at home waiting for me... And the missus is out tonight. I pity my neighbours...

EDIT: There was indeed a kikkin waiting! And I'm happy...!
