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

Finished my hidden album shelves. Deciding on a 4th level. These will hold the current selection behind the sound panel.



I slid the panel to the right for greater access to the cubby.

 

The undistorted and uncropped Rubber Soul cover pic would be close to a no brainer for me. I'm still surprised that the only version of that pic showed up on the internet and nowhere else.

 

Is that a Roksan t/t?

 

Thorens

 

Cheers - looked like a Roksan Xerses.

 

Finally got my reorganizing project done after a few new additions.. maybe some room treatments behind the speakers is next. Going to figure out some DIY or something.

 

Monstrous setup!

 

Thanks man! It's definitely fun to listen to.

 

My small descent into hi res bliss/madness.
Shanling M0 into Phil Jones Big Head.

 

The rabbit hole goes deep.

But as usual there is a method to our madness.

Enjoy!

 

Using the Onkyo A9150 again. I didn't like it in my old place in a bigger room, but in here the power is perfect. Very natural and full sounding for the money.

I think I want to learn about room treatment before I spend more on gear.

 

hi, that's a perfect size for what i need, does it do random playback? thanks for any info the online selllers' description is rather sparse

 

VERY wise!

 

Excellent looking room! I have found with my speakers that I don't need much toe in at all, I sit about 3m from my speakers and have maybe 1/2" toe in. This gave me a better soundstage and simply opened up the sound much more, rather than directing sound waves to my chair in that "audiophile" triangle position. It takes experimentation and patience, once you move speakers you have to listen for a few days, I also found 1/2" movements were best......I achieved better bass response too, the room fills with sound seems better now.
YMMV

 

Enjoying R.E.M. "Reckoning" on its 35th birthday I see?

Geez....35 years...I always forget how much I truly love those early albums.

 

Yes the form factor is pretty cool. This is my first DAP since my iPod classic so to me it sounds great. I prefer flat and loud so I can’t say much about the eq presets or filters. There is a shuffle mode but it only applies to the current folders songs. Initially I tried loading music onto the micro sd while still in the unit. For me and my Mac this did not work, sd in a usb card reader works great. The interface is very intuitive and compensated for the shabby manual. A guy on Headpie put together an advanced manual that’s much more useful.

thanks for the great reply, i really need it to shuffle everything but there may be a work around - I still may get it anyway tho, i love neat little miniature gadgets

 

Ponder the possibility that you may not need room treatments...

 

My brother has a knack for finding old-school Japanese tube pre-amps and he has loaned me one to test out. Two ECC83s in the phono stage and two ECC82s in the line stage. The two of us spent an evening comparing it to my usual gear and he snapped this photo...

 

Your room looks like it's tilting to the portside.Nice system.

 

Small world! I live about a mile west of you.

 

Mine are the same way except even smaller increments of adjustment.. It took a couple of weeks of micro adjustments after I had added some Gaia III's and re-positioning was nerve racking. I also now identify Jennifer Warnes/Ballad of a Runaway Horse as a drinking song lol.

 

Between Bayview and Federal?

 

??? - Not sure why this advice was given since he didn't bother to explain himself. IMO ALL, I repeat, ALL listening rooms can benefit from room treatments. Are they absolutely necessary? Of course not, but neither is owning stereo equipment!
