I just moved into a new house (with a friend). It was time to get out of where I was.
At my old place, the living room was full of audio gear I was displaying and repairing (I am a full time tech)
Here, the living room is actually a living room. The rest of the gear, and my lab, and main system are in the walkout basement. So a dedicated living room system was required. It was thrown together with what was on hand, but I think it is a pretty suitable system.
It consists of a Pioneer SX-850 that was in the right place at the right time (was planning to sell it)
Yamaha NS-690 speakers (which I had as mainstays in my old demo system)
Dual 1245 Turntable that was also in the right place at the right time
A newer Yamaha CD player that has a USB port so we can plug our phones into it.
The Pioneer wasn't restored when I put it in the system, but of couse I had to restore it. I finished that last week. It made a night and day difference, even my roomate was impressed with the change. Every pioneer I've recapped in the last couple years has had leaking caps. I think it is a pretty decent fit for the system and room. Not too big, not too small. Great condition. Nothing is too complicated for other people to use.
