Post photos of your systems/rooms here! (Part 15)

Saturday morning chill.

 

One of the hooks has come away from its clasp on the main window's curtain rail. Up you go. Merry Xmas.

Well let's see if this works!

 

Very nice setup. Love your JBL speakers. Nice way to spend a Saturday morning.

 

Where do you live, in a palace?

 

That's fun ...your Saturday morning comes waaaaaaaay before mine!

What is the LP please?

 

Nope, but this will...

@FLEMKE 's system:

 

Now that' an equipment rack!

 

Indeed

 

Drop in ceiling, wood paneling, that's gotta be a basement. Love it!

 

We call it the "Lower Level" in these parts.

I'm with ya on that. Mine has the drop in ceiling too.

 

Finally... finally installed a drop ceiling in my office/audio room. Sits at about 7.5' (which is where I wanted it in this room since even though we have 9' ceilings in the basement, there's a large HVAC run in this room and I didn't want a stepped ceiling.



From very rough tests before/after on the same track, my SPL meter indicates I gained about 3 dB in the room and lost about 3 dB in the room above it (happens to be our bedroom) so very worthwhile. It definitely sounds different. Initial impressions are that it did no harm and pushes up the lower midrange/midbass area just a little bit from having an exposed ceiling prior.

Oh and while I was at it, I "customized" that lamp in the corner. Hard to show in a picture but hopefully you can see what's in there (not the specific titles, these were just throwaway albums):

Looking good my brother.. Love the look of the room. bet it sounds even better.

 

Sunday morning ...chill???

turning into a nice room todd! the lamp is very cool.

 

Excuse for the OT but I love basements.
Grew up in a house with a basement.
Both houses I've purchased have a basement.
Basements are for Boyz!

 

Then they become"mancaves"

 

My office setup:

 

Ten spare headshell/cartridges and even more styli available? You play a lot of records it seems

 

I work at the National Sound Archive Each headshell holds a different stylus profile.

 

Note the 12" 78 0n the platter.

 

From top to bottom, what is in the rack?

 

KAB Broadcast Standard SL-1200Mk2
Elberg MD12 Mk2 multicurve disc preamp
The Front End (aka The Mousetrap) acoustic disc preamp
Cedar ADA converter
Cedar declickle
Cedar auto dehiss
Cedar debuzzer
(the Cedar equipment is out of the chain. We use it for demonstration purposes)

I also have a selection of accessories here: Milty Zerostat, tachometer, Rek-o-kut disc stabiliser clamp, record brush, digital stylus gauge. All the records are cleaned on a Keith Monks prior to transfer and we use Peter Copeland's Manual of Analogue Audio Restoration to get a good idea of speed settings.
