Been having a tidy up...

ATC SCM19 / Sugden ANV-50 / Mac mini M1

Just need a really good DAC. But in VFM terms it's hard to beat the one in the Mini at £0...

I found out the other day that Sugden make a DAC that looks fairly much of a piece with that amp.

No idea if it’s any good, but could be a place to start.

@Heckyman I'm just envious of the tatami.

That reminds me, we have two of those on top of the slats but under the mattress of our bed. Never thought to use them as rugs

What's the TT?

I own it, it is a fantastic sounding Dac. I have heard more expansive Dacs that didn’t sound as good as the Dac-4.

That is an Acoustic Solid Wood turntable with Audiomods Series 6 arm

Thanks for saying that. I’m on a DAC hunt at the moment, so will add it to the audition list if the opportunity arises.

 

[Heckyman]

Trying not to go OT, but there’s a Sugden DAC-4 for sale on the Wam. Not heard one.

Nice set up! Does it take some getting used to having the tatami there? Are they thick enough to trip up unsuspecting guests? I'd like some in my lounge... Need to persuade my wife!

 

[Cato]

Nice ! What are the speakers ?

What are the speakers ?

The usual sort of questions that could have been avoided.

The speakers look like Frugelhorns btw.

Looks to me like Frugel-Horns based on the way the back of the box tapers.

 

[myles]

They are Frugelhorn XL. Odd positioning you'd think but the drivers have clearance by the sofa arm! That position allows me to get both speakers in the corners.

First time posting a picture, so here goes... just finished assembling a cheap-ish system for the garden (office):

Linn Classik Movie (broken DVD drive) £100
Linn Sekrits £80
Yamaha Subwoofer £40
Speaker and phono cables from Amazon £30
Old Apple TV and HDMI audio splitter from bits and pieces box.

This will probably get more use than anything in the house over the next few months. Got me wondering if I should add a turntable...

 

[Heckyman]

OK, one more for those who expressed an interest in interior design ;-)

They aren't where you'd normally walk, we had thick woollen rugs there previously. Otherwise it's true someone could trip or the mats could slide about on laminate flooring. But mine work fine for me as they are and don't do any harm to the room acoustics too.

Koetsu on a Kenwood. Jelco headshell. Expressimo counterweight.

Undeniable phono porn.

Is the cajon used as a piano bench, or is it in the sweet spot for the stereo?

 

[Heckyman]

Piano bench, yes. Sweet spot is much closer to the speakers, which would involve dragging the chair into the middle of the room. I rarely bother, sounds decent from anywhere you sit.

Can we see the speakers ?

 

[Tarzan]

I have similar feet and Symposium platform under my turntable.

What are they like Sir?- thinking of one for The Gyrodec.

Sorry about the thread drift.
