I have an Elektra I'll be looking to move on mid August...

I will have a pair of R3 available sometime in August.

LS28 or an older Ref? Which you you recommend?

Pretty similar setup to you, tho I grabbed a Bryston BP26 pre to match my Bryston Power amp. And yes, I am in the 'A pre amp sounds better' camp

Quite a few high end speakers have adjustments. My PMC fact12's do. A few JBL models, tannoys, focal and I'm sure there a more

TV was already here, KefR3's powered by a Blue sound powernode2, fed by analogue out of the HTPC for YouTube/Netflix and Roon for music. Roon once again from the HTPC running Manjaro using the Node2 as a Roon endpoint. Speaker stands are chairs from the dining suite 😁

You gotta make do with what's available 👍 I figured I'd find something around the short term rental to use, as I didn't want to drag floorstanders or stands across the continent in the car.

My temporary transfer Esperance system. 2nd temporary transfer this year so this time I decided to get a little system to drag along with me. Sounds so good despite it's simplicity 🥰

Bryston BP 26 with matching MPS2 power supply?

Nice pick up John, I have heard these previously and was super impressed myself. Enjoy!

Let's see if I am first in line

This is tempting, just to try.

I agree, which is why I'm chasing a TT. I have heard a magical setup but sadly I can't afford it. It was a member in Perth's Kuzma Stabi reference. Absolutely outstanding.

Nothing too spectacular, Auralic aries feeding a PS audio Directstream. Rest of the system is Bryston BP26 into a 4BSST2 and PMC Fact 12.

I quickly ruled out the Rega. It just missed all the important midbass detail. The sound stage was also more realistic with the MoFi deck as well. The Rega did the centre phantom image well, but that was about it. The MoFi was far wider, taller and still retained the focused centre. Although that said I didn't purchase either deck. They also had a tricked out Kuzma sabi S which of course blew both away, but just the cart was worth more than both the UltraDeck and P6 combined. For some context, I am currently looking to purchase my first TT. And I thought the nether could best my current digital setup so I didn't end up pulling the trigger.
