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

I see some P Cars on the shelf? A secondary addiction? I suffer the same malady myself.

 

It IS the ocean!

 

Lol... i don't think he has a bad one right?

 

Yeah.... madness I tell you... madness...

 

My two favorites are Muddy Wolf at Red Rocks(my favorite place to see a show) and Live at the Greek.

 

Well, you coulda gotten the room with the cool breeze and grass underfoot......gotta count the small victories, and live to fight another day.


I can smell the seasalt in the air!

 

Yep red rocks might be my favorite....but Joe's a busy guy

 

Yes, he is. Got to see him again in early March for a show in Charlotte before all the crap hit the fan. Great show.

 

I should start by saying I like a richer warmer sound. My friends system is Vosne-Romanee Linestage/Montrachet amp he uses a Luxman DA-06 Dac and streams only. Heard his system with two different sets of speakers, Devore 0/93's really good sound to me not overly warm or romantic but very realistic and natural sounding also a really natural but open soundstage. Was it romantic? I mean it sounded beautiful and musical but also super transparent and well extended at both frequency extremes. It was an excellent combo and really great with jazz and worked well with rock also.

Then he got a pair of Shindo Lafond field coils I came over right after they arrived and one speaker was DOA. We listened to just the one speaker and it was utterly fantastic. One of the most realistic senses of musicians in the room I literally can't tell you much else I was transfixed listening to the Dead 2/14/70 on one speaker! Turns out it was just a loose wire in the other speaker but he got divorced shortly after that and the system was held hostage. He finally got it back and Covid hit , maybe one day I'll hear stereo!

 

Best coffee maker - without debate!

 

I like his recent Sydney Opera House DVD - mainly because of the great version of Drive

 

I recently started buying all his music in vinyl... still got a few to go that are out of stock. But the only Blu-Ray that I have is that one (Live at the Greek Theatre)... Looks like I will need to get a few more of the concerts on Blu-Ray. Really enjoying his music a lot.

I do not have Muddy Wolf and does not show as available in vinyl... but it is available on Blu-Ray... let me get that one for now.

And as mentioned, does not seems like he has any bad ones.

 

My current study setup

 

I like the carpet!

 

Looks like things are packed in pretty tight there. Curious why you have the left and right NHT speakers on the wrong sides. Have you considered moving them to the outside of the speaker array, and orienting them in with the faces pointing in?

 

I would debate it

 

Love that fireplace. We recently had ours tiled in a very similar fashion in our living room.


When you have to replace the fireplace it all that tilework is going to have to be torn out.

 

feds blocked vid, national security, anyway I redid it...think it got flagged because I used album name...

 

You win!

Nope, "unavailable"

 

I just liked the curve of the speak falling away towards the Bose's. Had not realised LHS / RHS was angled in rather than out. Out disperses the sound field better? But yeah - above the Technics power amp at the bottom is just a plastic face plate (actually a keyboard palm rest) - so it has HEAPS of breathing room above it to not get too hot.

Still need to get a Technics mini-disc (hard - never released in Aus), a top end early MASH Technics CD player - and my tape deck once it is returned will need more room, as it is going to be the 1978 RS-673 :S. Oh, and also want a Technics SL1600 or similar to finish the system. Using a Kenwood Linear Tracking unit atm for fun.

 

That’s just weird...
