System Pics 2022

Thinking harder, I seem to recall it was a IA.150, 80w per channel, the heatsink used to get super hot, great amp though

Still got mine from early ‘80s. Do regret moving on the 568.2MM with their matching DVD player, had a huge clear-out in 2016 cos making 2017 looked touch and go.

From top down:
Bespoke energiser for Stax headphones
ARC CD9 feeding top shelf balanced
ARC Ref5 pre
darTZeel power amp

There’s a vinyl setup to the right getting little use, and a pair of Magico V2’s either side.

Amazing set up!

He is the butler - that’s the Queen’s listening room!

Very nice room, I would have a 4 o’clock tea any time in there, looks like a castle to me ! Tell us about your future experience with the 3510, probably on many fellow’s wish list......

Lovely system and room.

Interesting. How big is the room and do you have any issues with full range speakers in a room tha(looks) small?

The room is 10X10 itself with the doors closed. With the sliding doors fully slid open the room then effectively becomes 10x25 (opens up to the dining room). With this the speakers are setup in nearfield listening position.

@Jazzyguy - lovely system. I have a Bluesound 2 and 2i and can certainly recommend auditioning some external DACs, even as good as the internal one already is.

I was in a room that size for 13 yrs. My current listening room is slightly smaller and I get great sound in that room. I used to have to squeeze all of my physical media in the previous room, now most of it is out in other living spaces.

I suppose if you position the footmen in the back corners, they’ll be quite effective bass traps.

What a refreshing system and room.
Lovely!

(opens up to the dining room)

I assumed that was the door that led to the casket viewing area. (only jealous)

 

[Salamander]

Your room looks stunning Jazzguy, the hifi certainly takes a back seat in your photos for me, even though you have a great system.

 

[Ptah]

Refreshing change from Poang and Eames!

 

[James Evans]

That is the kind of room one could contemplate the following day's manoeuvres in. I imagine there's an equally plush pair of slippers somewhere that often reside on that footstool

 

[denni55]

musta got that comfy chair from Esther's stage setup!
