Dueling Systems

UPDATED!

I moved the McIntosh into the main room with the TV. I get a lot more time on the McIntosh system now. Now for the pics!!

The MCS TT isn't hooked up, as I purchased it on CL for a friend and still haven't given it to her. (Come to think of it, I bought that for her LAST xmas. Maybe she doesn't want it?)

horrible backlighting for a photo, i know. but maybe i can pass this off as artsy?

On the chopping block is that ugly TV pedestal stand. soon to be replaced by something lower.
Also, some wire management. I hate ugly wires everywhere, but that's not easy work.

Over the weekend I picked up a Barzilay EEC-3 cabinet in Oak for my new TV stand. The owner purchased it new in 1982, and was moving to Panama thus selling all his stuff. I used some Howards Wax and fine steel wool to feed/wax it back to new.

Man I hated that black piece of crap TV stand I had before. I think the Barzilay compliments the McIntosh XR-5's nicely.

PICS!

The doors are real slick. They open/close together and collapse to the middle.

The seller even had the brochure and the customer invoice: $327 on 7/9/1982.
