It's my understanding that 500 of each of the Limited Centennial Edition components was manufactured.

Wow, that´s almost as rare as the Thorens Reference TT.

Being Japanese, I gather they are comparatively rarer, still. smile.gif

Now, are you going to write a Will? biggrin.gif

The display cabinet that my brother-in-law built for me for my Yamaha gear is finally done and installed.

Great gear always looks even greater with beautiful stands or display cabinets.
Congrats Mark.

Your brother-in-law must be part termite.

Nice looking stand! Beautiful woodwork.

Very nice looking setup Mark. The beautiful wood really makes the Yamaha equipment look at home.

Thanks guys, I'm delighted with it!

I ended up putting the MX-10000 on top of my Paradigm rack, and the other Centennial pieces also fit in it. For some reason I just didn't consider this before since the amp was too big to fit on the bottom shelf which seemed to be the logical place for a 95lb amp.

I also hadn't considered putting the rack for the main system to the right of the turntable shelf. That turned out to be the best location for it.

Now you need to sell me your cd cabinet and have one made that matches the equipment cabinet . smile.gif

Very classy looking Mark. Your room has that special thing many rooms lack, called warmth. soundt/thumbup.gif

There have been a few changes since I last updated this thread.

Speakers are now Infinity IRS Delta's, the Paradigm rack has been replaced by a custom rack, and the CD rack was moved to allow greater spacing between the speakers.

simply outstanding. the whole system looks gorgeous and i know it sounds better than it looks. are you using the servo controller (is that it below the TT)?

Thank you Clint.

The music is an even more emotional experience with the IRS Delta's.

Thanks, and good eye Scott. That's the Epsilon servo unit. The design of the Epsilon is very close to the Delta's. There's a slight difference in the crossover point to the woofers: it's 130Hz for the Delta's and 150Hz for the Epsilons. I think the Epsilon servo will work fine with the Delta's. I need to have a pair of cables made to hook it up.
