Hey all,
I've been starting to hoard a bit too much gear lately and my enjoyment of my (limited) space has been suffering as a result ! Thanks to some simple cupboards which were picked up at a local sale, I now have some much need shelf space. I've also taken out some of the silly big speakers that I acquired lately (Technics SB5000 and Onkyo S-22 are now in the shed, JBL L40 sold) and I'm now focusing on medium bookshelf models again due to space restrictions.
I guess I'm almost getting onto near-field territory now because I cannot arrange my system any other way, whilst keeping enough space for the home office on the other side of the room. The system now comprises -
Yamaha R-S700 receiver
NEC P305e 'Authentic Series' TT with standard cartridge / stylus
Sony CDP-203ES CDP
Arcam Alpha 5 CDP
Yamaha KX-300RS cassette deck
Yamaha Ipod dock with 16Gb Ipod Touch 5th gen.
Apple Airport Express for streaming from PC.
Mission 707 - recently refoamed.
Work-in-progress is now limited to a Technics SL-QL1 with some cold solder issues and Akai AP-D30C with a missing (but replacement on its way) counterweight / stylus. Here's the room, as best I could photograph it on my cell phone....
