Post photos of your systems/rooms here!

My meager system:
From the sweet spot, Sonus Faber Grand Piano Homes with a SF Solo on top of the 14 year old analog only Zenith TV.
The panels in the background are home made 4 inch rigid fiberglass. You should have seen my wife laugh when she came home to see me sitting at the sewing machine making the covers.

The second picture is our compromise equipment rack.
On top is an MMF-7 with Shure V15VxMR and a newly acquired VAC PA100/100.
Under the VAC is a Creek OBH-8SE Phono stage which is sitting on top of a Denon DVD-3910.
Next is the Anthem AVM-20,
And last is an Anthem PVA-5 of which I'm only using 1 channel at the moment.
The rear speakers have been taken down.

 

Hope this works.... posting the pic I mean only have the TT pic right now...with homemade sandbox on 2 inner tubes, on a Target Wall mount shelf.

I have a WinLabs TT with SME IV vi arm Benz Micro cart
VTL 75/75
Audible Illusions M3A
Martin Logan Aerius
Cal Delta/Sigma II
XLO/MIT cables
Monster Cable power center HTS 2500
VPI 16.5 RCM with Disc Doctor and VPI fluids and lots of distilled water

over and out

2nd try

 

Ok, if you all promise not to get jealous, I'll put up a pic.

The 'table is the hip Acoustic Research classic from the 80s. I have the late, great Sure V15VxMR on it.

A NAD C-521
A Marantz something or another. It was my Dad's, he bought it brand new in 1980 and it still sounds great. I had a vintage Fisher tube integrated that I loved but I couldn't keep it running reliably.

Lower down is a Sony MD deck (LOVE IT!) and below that is an RCA brand CD burner.

The speakers are the lovely and underrated Tannoy Mx3. Sweet mids.

Way over to the left is my "home theater". Cobbled together from thrift store and hand-me-downs. KLH brand speakers, a Realistic receiver and an early Apex DVD player that still works surprisingly well after 4 years.

In back at left, you can see doors. They're built in cabinets for towels and such, but it turns out they're super strong and can fit oodles of LPs just perfectly. That's what's in 'em.

Hope you enjoyed the tour of my humble listening/living room.

Love that mod sofa and matching chair!!

 

I wish I had that model of The AR turntable . Mine is the older AR-XB.

 

Thanks, Jamie, but your studio...now that's a dedicated listening room!

Here's my stuff!

Pink Triangle PTToo (no cartridge at the moment pranged it a few days back so am waiting for the replacement.

DK Design Group Hybrid integrated amp on

Trichord Delphini phono amp

Shanling Sacd player

Earmax por headphone amp (the thing that looks like a salt and pepper holder with the tube coolers).

Sennheiser HD650's

Isotek Minisub (power conditioner)

Speaker Art Super clefs on SKylan stands. These are the best stands I have ever tried and they ship real light.

Supra sword speaker cable placed on ceramic trestles

 

The rest of the pics. Everything is on oak stands that are made by a friend of mine from oak beams that had been lying by the docks in Gibraltar since the times when Nelson's ships etc used to come in for repairs. the tiny pic is Eric Dolphy!

 

It's called "thrift store chic", I think. Or old junk, I dunno.

Audio Research LS-15 Linestage
PS Audio P-300 Powerplant
Llano A-100 Amp.
VPI SDS
JMR Trente Speakers
REL Storm III Sub

 

Thanks. I really like it, especially after I had such bad luck with a new audiophile approved "budget" turntable. The QC was simply horrible. This old AR is built to last, and it sounds really sweet and warm to me. I'd like to put in a motor upgrade someday, along with a new Rega arm. Until then, I'm still happy.

The old AR-XB looks really cool too. The simplicity of those designs give them their elegance.

That's a really nice sounding CD player

 

How do you like the Aphex 109? I just got one off eBay for my Denon. I chose this model for Aphex reputation for quality and I know the tubes are upgradeable on this model.

 

Nice speakers, Randy. I have the Twin Mk III on three-post Sound Anchor stands in my bedroom system. It looks like you have the 4-post stands - the best ones.

 

OK, Tom, here's mine. First up is the main system in my living room (see profile) followed by a more detailed photo, and then finally my "vintage" Quad system. As you can probably guess, I'm a fan of surround sound, but never use the surround processors to listen to a stereo recording as I usually don't like the results. BTW, you guys have some really nice stuff.

 

Cool vintage Quad gear Joe. Are you able to play those RCA QuadraDisk LPs (is that what they were called?)? I heard that the cartridges used to play those back are nearly impossible to find these days.

Here's a closeup of my quad which I use with a Stanton Turntable and a Pioneer DV-655a
The Sansui has two BBE 462 Sonic Maximizers patched in the tape loop

Sadly I have to part with the QRX-9001. It's got cold solder joint issues and channels are cutting out. It would cost a lot to rebuild so I'm looking for a Sansui QSD decoder or if I'm lucky a Fosgate Tate II.

 

dying to send a picture in - but mine are too big - please tell me the easiest way to reduce the size of a jpg

thanks
