My 1970's Man Cave setup

[Robayb]

When I started collecting 70's gear a few years ago , I didn't have anywhere to put . So I converted a garage room into my perfect adolescent bedroom I never had growing up. This is all gear I've picked up locally and I've vetted out a lot - these are the keepers so far. Since I think the speakers are the weak link in a system- all these speakers have been resealed and recapped.

Receivers/AMPS - Pioneer SX-1050, Kenwood KA 907, Kenwood KR-7050, Realistic STA-2000D

TT - Thorens 145 with At440MLa Cart, Technics SL-3350 w/ Shure Realistic cart.

Speakers - KLH model 5, KLH model 6, Realistic Optimus one, Bozak DMS-4500

CD players - PlayStation SPCH 1001, Magnavox CDB 502 and 482, NEC 530

Total out of pocket over the last 3 years - $1175. Almost half of that is the 1050 and 907.

A 70's system

A few obvious dumb comments. The CD players must be from the future and you need a lava lamp to go with that nice collection

 

[Robayb]

Ha - your right on both counts. Mostly 70's!

Nice list of gear.....now you need some posters with a black light!

 

[DrumminDaddy]

Nice cave, man. :thmbsp:

 

[krowmagnum]

Nice. :thmbsp: But if you want to be serious about the 70's you'll have to incorporate some concrete blocks into the gear rack.

A lava lamp and pet rock. Such a tacky decade, wasn't it? All except the audio gear, the high water mark of solid state hifi in my view.

And several Mateus Rose` wine bottles with half-melted candles dripping down them....

The 17s' are a special little speak that was meant for tight spaces and still be up for competing with the AR "feel"

KLH's work there is good and hope you enjoy.
