Post photos of your systems/rooms here! (Part 13)

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing.

 

What's the picture with the guy smoking? Is that Tom Waits? That room looks like an awesome place to hang out.

 

Tom Waits!

 

Don't know anything about the guy. I've heard some songs by him but that's the extent of it besides some various interviews I've seen with him.

 

Man,that Fisher is sweet looking. Brings back memories.

 

Thanks~
Also, yup Tom Waits. I usually don't buy posters, most of what I do have were given out as freebies in other albums/books or promotional items, but I saw that and had to have it.

 

What's with the dual monitor? Do you have two systems or just a Mac?

 

Just a Mac, hooked the thunderbolt out to another monitor and just essentially have twice the desktop space. Makes it a lot easier to monitor a needledrop, or watch a video while still being able to do other things on the computer.

 

Oh man... git thee to Spotify (or whatever you use)!

The album "Closing Time" is a good one to start with.

 

It's on now on track 1. Thanks for the recommendation!

 

He's one of a kind.

 

I want to make sure everyone realizes that this fine system belongs to Baron. I just posted the pic for him because of some technical difficulties.

 

First night listening to these NSMT PSM SEs (Professional Studio Monitor, Special Edition).

 

You'll have to let us know how you like those new speakers! They sure are pretty!

I see that the cat approves!

I'm always amazed that our cats/dog enjoy music, and that they all have different tastes in what they like. Just like us!

 

These really fit my idea of an ideal design——MTM/acoustic suspension/folded transmission line/first order/phase and time coherent/custom Seas TPX drivers/pretty flat from 35Hz to 20kHz. I think with the transmission line out of the front I have less issues with the wall behind. So far, I am super impressed.

 

Hi. I retired and have this great unfinished space with an unobstructed 35' X 16' space for dedicated 5.1 audio only.

How can I post some pics for some help with the refinements ? I seem to be blocked out from uploading pictures.

You kids would love this one.

 

You have to use a third party like photobucket. Its free but things changed here a couple months ago.

There are instructions somewhere around here

 

Cleaned up a bit recently so I thought i would post.
Basically SACDs XLR'd to a nice tube preamp, then XLR'd to ATC SCM150ASL monitors.

Ignore temporary floor sliders.

some more shots

 

A rug or two and a couple stands for those massive speaks and your in heaven!

 

Closer picture of that tube preamp please

 

Are those room treatments behind your equipment? Whatever they are it looks fantastic!

 

Very nice!

 

Very nice system. What kind of audio rack is that? Me likee!

 

Diffusion behind those speakers isnt going to do much at all however. Only low frequencies will be radiating behind the speakers and those diffusers will just look a flat wall to those wavelengths. Only benefit may be from reflections from the wall behind the listening position, then it would be best to deal with those from the back wall itself. The do look good though!

 

Diffusors are Auralex, except the two skyline diffusors, all of which were originally used with bookshelf speakers. My general attitude is you can never have too much diffusion though, and it seemed better to leave them up than just have a big flat wall. I plan on eventually replacing the Auralex with more skylines, just because. I have some Venus BassFly traps, but don't feel like they are needed now that I have bookshelves on the back and side wall. I've also found that I tend to tire of anything with a lot of color. Never understood why Auralex doesn't make foam panels in white or off-white. Seems like such a no-brainer to me. Maybe the dye is no good, who knows. The backwall has a 5x5 ikea expedit bookshelf, and reflections don't seem to be a problem. I really like the bookshelves because they also don't seem to over-deaden the way lots of foam did when I used it on the walls.

Oh, the audio rack is the hyperspike model from SolidSteel.

The power supply is in a separate box. Focus on this phone is hit or miss, sorry.
