System Pics 2020

Thank you. It’s about 6’ square, bought off internet rug site for not too much and nice to look at.

Lovely room. Is that equipment rack made from a palette ? It's very cool whatever it is made from. I love a bit (a lot) of recycling

That’s a cool office!

And cheap. Don’t forget cheap

Yes. The intention was recycling/cheap. However, the toughened glass alone cost a small fortune, so I’m pretty sure it’s landed well on its arse in any sort of cost/benefit analysis

my rather basic and quickly put together budget system CCA hiding somewhere at the rear

New set up in my office for now. The decorator has been put back 2-3 weeks as he's managed to break a few fingers

We've started stripping the small room to decorate first, then the wife moves into the office with me and then it all gets moved upstairs (there's more room for the speakers then)

So, all new JBL 308P MkII's fed by my 2020 Mac Mini via an SMSL DAC with balanced outs








Don't care what folk say and what speakers they've heard; these are bloody amazing straight out of the box! Their soundstage and how far it expands is astounding!

They're the Oak desk and sideboard from Argos of all places.

I struggled to find one that I could fit my legs under (Oakfurnitureland etc were all too low) but the measurements for the Argos one met what I needed)

Well made and very sturdy/heavy too

Er did the matrix just reset?

I was deleted earlier, but I don’t think it was because of my picture, so here it is again:

A task I might attempt soon is to refinish the speakers in oak veneer, or alternatively build new cabinets from scratch, the latter gives me the possibility of upgrading the treble units to the Seas T25CF002 Millennium without butchering the current cabinets.

It’s a Technic SU3150 from the late 70’s
A really neat sized box and great sound for its vintage

Kitchen system now has a mini Bluetooth chip-amp and an old laptop power supply I had kicking about (I'll probably shorten the fig 8 lead later) effectively eliminating it's footprint! Also what do you think of my advanced cork/paper/plastic/papyrus acoustic panel?

What's a mini Bluetooth chip-amp? Is there a streaming component somewhere out of picture?

It is a chip amp with a volume control and a Bluetooth receiver. This one has a usb input so you could use as a soundcard, and a line in, but I am just connecting by Bluetooth, so in effect my phone or iPad etc is acting as the streamer

Here I have the option of LS3/5a. I bought these earlier in the year for a house move and smaller space that hasn’t happened yet, so they have barely had any use. They will see some action if I decide to veneer the current KLS3 cabinets. I knocked the stands together from gash wood and painted them the same colour as the walls.

ps : The headphone stand is now not used.

What would it look like with the stand turned 45 degrees. Might give a more open and lighter look.

@kevinrt Proper looking system there.
