Nice to see all your toys and how you have integrated them into your living space.
I recently moved continents from a nice sized listening room to a small Men Cave.
Unfortunately I don't have space for all my toys, so I had to down grad and I am just getting ready to sell off some stuff.

Not much changed in 2011.

A Naim NDX replaces the Linn ADS/0 and Tellurium black in place of Nac A5

[Cereal Killer]

Cheers James, yours is cool too - Neat and clean.

 

[JTC]

I always think James' system is among the most tasteful in terms of aesthetic. Bet it sounds good too... mine always looks like a dog's breakfast, despite best attempts to tidy cables away...

 

[coupe-sport]

Cheers John - it helps keep domestic bliss

[Bob McC]

How the hell do you get speaker cable to behave like that?

 

[Cereal Killer]

By making sure its doesn't have any twists, start from one end and lay it down carefully.

Gosh ! Mind you, I think that the kitchen table could be put to better use .

Yeah, wanted to get the gear up and running in a hurry so made the table from spare wood knocking the house around and will stay until I buy my amps+cd player and external crossover. Bit embarrasing I know

 

[YNWOAN]

I took a couple of pics of my deck yesterday as it has just been fitted with a fancy new armboard and there have been quite a few changes since I last photographed it .

With record:

And without:

There's a new record clamp to come as well - but apparently it is proving very difficult to make!

That's part of the phonostage underneath it - the TT power supply is on one of the amp racks not in shot.

(I have a TT cover for it too, but it's the kind that has to be removed during use - looks smart mind you)

 

[Bob McC]

how do you dust it?

 

[YNWOAN]

With care

Actually, with a soft brush (which is a surprisingly quick and easy job)
I do have a cover for it though; in fact I have two - quite a stylish acrylic one and a soft cover that goes over the whole thing - however, the design is such that the cover has to be removed during use.

 

[Theo]

That really is a very elegant turntable! I love both the cover and Aro support solution. Looking at the clamp and platter, does the record sit slightly proud?

 

[YNWOAN]

Thanks Theo.

With regard to your question about the platter; yes, the record does not make contact with the platter directly, but is supported 3mm above its surface.

Wow, what table is that? It's very elegant as is the 'cover'. Did you design it?
