My son's setup

[Lavane]

If your going to build a system for your kids, do it right. And i still have stacks of stuff left.

 

[Dave_1962]

Nice!

 

[DrumminDaddy]

Can I call you Daddy?

Why the 1060 and 1030 at the same time? Just a question.

 

[dyche01]

Not too shabby!

 

[Lavane]

@pdm4606 the 1030 was a loner until I finished the 1060. But he prefers the phono section of the 1030. Go figure. Anyway I said keep them both and decide once we find a better tt.

Aesthetically pleasing presentation, but stacking a power amp's power transformer on top of / directly underneath a phono preamp is not optimum.

 

[Djcoolray]

It's cool and everything about what you do for your kid, but half the fun about getting into stereo equipment was the discovery of it all and the interaction of understanding the equipment then putting together our own system.

 

[Lavane]

@E-Stat he just sent me the picture. I haven't talked to him yet about how it's stacked. He just got the shelving. Before it was spread out on a table.

 

[AudioKeith]

Nice.

 

[Lavane]

@Djcoolray he has listened to all the gear I have. Other than the 1060 this is what he liked. I really thought he would like the 1060 more.i have another one and its a keeper.

I thought it was a way to store extra gear. Let the son hang onto it for a while.

Give him some fatherly advice.

 

[Christian B]

Nice!

 

[wmgwizard]

I'm available for adoption......

 

[mjw21a]

That is really nice. Looks beautiful. My gear is all Chinese, Japanese or Croatian dating from the 60's to today. All my electronics are Chinese though.

 

[Nightwisher]

Lucky kid!

 

[pdm4606]

Your kid has to be the luckiest kid in the world.
In my youth in the 50's-60's it was all I could do to play an LP without my mother turning the TV up to complete distortion to listen to "her" programs. My dad was the same except he worked nights so I couldn't play anything without ear phones because I would wake him up.

Certainly. And the other half of the fun is making other people happy! And the third half is getting to do it again with MORE GEAR!

Yes....I agree with that part !

But learning problem solving skills comes with personal hands on interaction by way of considering, organization, then the positive reinforcement of doing it again and again until you've got it right. Thusly obtaining something called a sense of accomplishment....

Sorry, but being a freaked out Vet I've been watching dads do everything for their sons to the point of repairing their adult sons automobiles. I'm not saying everyone does this, but as a Vet with OCD I see it all the time, we dads are supposed to be standing behind our sons in a supervisory position. Not saying that the OP would do everything for his son and I do admit to having a mental hair trigger in the way that I react......but father and son projects are a great way to instill a measurable amount of confidence in a child's abilities. As a sergeant in the Army, I saved many people from themselves just because they learned no skills prior to entering the US Army. To rebuild our country, we must first have confident, capable young people.....
