Simple and beautiful...a music first set up!

Seconded. Had a set-up like that some years ago and it was all about the music. I've upgraded after getting back into listening to music after a sort of "break" and now wonder if I've just gone too far and forgotten what I'm meant to be looking for
Think an assessment of the goal is required and some getting back to full enjoyment is needed

-Six recliners, rears on 10" carpeted riser, with lighting

Ryebread,

I showed the pictures of your lovely house to my wife and she wants to know more details on those recliners in your movie room. We're going to replace the chairs in our movie room with something more grown up (now our kids are older) and those look ideal. No idea if they'd be available this side of the pond though.

Regards
Steve

Thanks again for the comments.

All very nice of course, but more info needed about the lamp (the one to the right of the turntable).

It's a Maclamp;designed by Sir Terence Conran for Habitat(50's-60's);

Didn't pay that much though ;got two others as well and I think we only paid about £3 for all three at local boot sales(plus some more for new fittings and wiring).

That rug has to go though.

Does it not tie the room together?


Oh and think you need a proper saucer for that plant.

Nice Linnage though

there are other rugs that will do the tieing a lot better ... and yes, plants just making do for now ... so much work moving house

Not much changes since last year apart from the addition of a Metrum Octave NOS DAC fed from my NDX. A very nice DAC.

NDX / TXPS > Metrum Octave > Berning ZH270 > PMC GB1i > AR & Tellurium cables.

Coupe sport - that is a lovely setup and living room. How are you getting on with the Octave?

Also, I think you might have the wrong sort of TT on that isoblue rack

Lovely photos James, paricularly the low shot looking up through the vieiwing window of the Berning. I don't get that view because mine sits low in my cupboard. Not one shot with Alfie in view!!

Coupe sport, amazing room. Love the shelving system and how it blends with the wood from the speakers. Brilliant.

I love that racking, I first saw it at NAF in Loughborough.

Anyway here is an update of mine, I change things around a lot, my equipment choices rarely make any kind of logical sense, its just what takes my fancy at any given moment.

KEF 105s I have just recapped, Nait 3 converted to a pre amplifier running the Amcron PSA-2. The 30 watts from the Nait didn't really cut it with 85db sensitivity speakers, so I figured 270wpc seemed fair.

My system at the moment

 

[coupe-sport]

Thanks Guys. Managed to get a whole afternoon to myself to enjoy things

Keith - no Alf. Sulking in the hall waiting for walk. He will come and lie on the rug when I'm playing some Cara Dillon (must be his roots). Hope Jerry and those lovely Tannoys are keeping well.

Dan - very pleased with it. The general opinion is that it likes higher sample rates and so with the NDX set to output at 24/96 it's really singing. Took a week or so to come on song. I'm wondering about recasing the Metrum into one of Audioflats 'naim' sled cases so I can fit a DIN socket for my AR lunar cable (using a DIY adapter at the mo) and fit a BNC socket for the S/PDIF input.

Edd - like the 105s - they are beasts

Koi - any shots of the speakers ?

 

[bigblue]

105's look cool, like having a pair of friendly daleks in the room. Must be radically different to all the bookshelf speakers. Would probably completely confuse the iPod dock generation.

New sub and tonearm. with temp armboard.
