Very nice room and equipment set up! And welcome to AK!!
Thanks and thanks! Should have introduced myself and said hey, but was so impressed with myself figuring out how to post pics i forgot to type! Started this room about a year ago after a several year hiatus from audio. Slowly but surely its coming together. Everything except the Kallax has been thrifted or bought second hand, equipment included. I built the cd shelving. I love the gear part of this but prefer to spend whatever budget i have on music!
 
Here is one system with the C2500 operating three power amplifiers in three rooms, its a trifecta! Also see my grand piano I am able to play part of ode to joy but I spend too much time listening to the McIntosh than practicing but this piano sounds glorious in this vaulted room.

*Edit: Have an HW-16?

Actually not, but I've been using a "CleanerVinyl Max Cavitation System" in conjunction with a "Knosti Disco Antistat" for years and I'm beyond happy with that.

You may have noticed the turntable on the left .....It's a restored SL-DL1 also in the cabinet I've got a ROTEL RCC-1055 CD carousel with DAC, PlayStation, Satellite TV crap and the HK home theater controller.

Nice setup! I've heard great things about that MANLEY LABS CHINOOK SPECIAL EDITION MKII. In your opinion does it live up to the hype?

As an experienced Manly Man :):) I'd skip the "MANLEY LABS CHINOOK SPECIAL EDITION MKII" for me the tube set from Upscale Audio (for me) are a over sale gimmick. First off I'd just get the Manley stock tubes they come burnt- in and sound very nice, then If I wanted something very good and not to expensive get a quad of Gold Lions YOU'LL BE SET !!

As far as the Chinook goes :):):) I've had several Phono Stages and I know for me, I'll have this one till I croke.

Ideally you can find a Chinook on eBay or Audiogon...Get the Gold Lions you'll be very happy and be heaver in the pocket book.
