Where are the wall mounts from ?
They are B-Tech BT77 brackets. Fairly cheap, but really sturdy and well made unlike many of the other budget brackets.

About time that I posted up my system really.
The hifi as it was at the start of the year.
The complete setup including the AV bits.
A couple of components have now gone missing (they belonged to my lodger, and now that he has bought his own house he wanted them back
)
The old Target T50 speaker stands have also been replaced with some (much) newer Atacama ones.
Tidied up the hifi bits as well (first time since getting a separates system back in '90 that I have a proper stand for the units).
A proper support was purchased for the Sondek as well (replacing the modified coffee table which I had spiked top and bottom).
My old Arcam Alpha 2 was replaced with a slightly newer Pioneer A-400 as well.
System currently consists of:
Linn Sondek LP12
Cambridge Audio 640P phono pre-amp
Pioneer A-400
Marantz CD63 MkII
Denon TU580RD tuner
Linn Index Plus speakers on Atacama stands
Panasonic TX36PD30
Toshiba SD-530E
Panasonic NV-HS830
Sky+

Here's my measly PC setup. Was tidy the other day and did have a Logitech G15 untill it met a budwieser... Next upgrade is a case and 22" monitor to go alongside the 19".
Now I know it looks like I have had a tommy tank...or 5, but this is my PC area when I have a cold lol. (Note the Beechams and Vicks for proof
)
My AV setup is a little bit better (the TV is) but the surround sound is ****!! It only has scart inputs at the back and 3 phono at the front. All the sound goes to the sub via a single cable then get's split to speakers from there... I know it's poo but it was free so it does for now
That's the next upgrade after my PC tho.
Was going to put it on the wall but decided against it becuase of cost, not my house and the fact my AV setup doesn't justify it yet! (Would look better there tho don't you think?)
Also need a new PC chair....
Tv is a Sammy PS42Q97HDX
Surround sound is Sanyo piece of poo
Sky+
Xbox 360
And that's about it, looks better when the rooms tidy but it's going to take days to tidy this **** pit up.

Few pics of the updated setup. The Denon AV amp, Kef Cresta 1 rears and the B&W ASW500 are now redundant.
New setup:
* Naim Nait 5i
* Arcam CD62 with Ixos 1002 Gamma
* Pioneer Digibox with Profigold interconects and composite cables.
* Pro-ject Debut turntable with a Pro-ject "The Phono Box" preamp using QED Qnect 1
* Aiwa ADF450 tape deck With cheapo freebie red and whites (not actually wired up as there are only 4 line ins on the amp!)
* B&W 601s2 Bi-Wired with Linn K20
* Russ Andrew Mains Block
* Sound Organisation Rack
I'm so glad I have gone back to a decent stereo setup, the difference in sound quality is amazing. Tried out a few amps and the Naim was the best of the bunch at the price. Originally went out to get an Arcam but this was that much better I decided it was worth the extra cash.
