I've been looking for a "2005" made by Weltron:

 

[Live_Wire]

I've changed my setup quite a bit in the last while.

Added a set of Mach 5000's, a Pioneer Tape Deck, a Yahama RX-397 amp, and a generic stereo cabinet my uncle got back in the 70's.



It's finally complete

 

[Rod G-6000]

Here's my LR set up. It's a mess right now but it sure sounds sweet.

Here's my newest space, still a work in progress, but it's getting there.. SLOWLY... a shot of the "from seat" and "of the seat"

It's still not cleaned up, so excuse the mess, but I think you get the idea...

I noticed the first UK album on the floor. great album!!

very nice! very funtional.

 

[~Maxx]

very nice! very funtional.

Thanks Tim. I've put quite a bit of time into the arrangement, and it's gone through several "do-overs" the last couple of years given the small space I have. I could really use some flat response monitors. But they're so darned expensive! Short term I'm thinking of adding another patch bay, and getting a 4-in/4-out or 8-in/8-out sub mixer for the reel to reel and drum machine. Kicking around the idea of building a custom turntable as well. But maybe I should finish that Strat first! :scratch2:

 

[eargasms]

This one's a little outdated...

The record player above has been ousted. This is my favorite corner of the system now:

Im mostly into solid state stuff with nice machined alloy. thats one of the best looking amps I think ive ever seen, thats beautiful and I love the simplicity of the face with the crazy wood grain and one dial so simple and the craft and the stainles top. thats a gorgeous amp

 

[brad1138]

Every one I know, knows I LOVE Loud music. But my god, You must have to peel yourself off the back wall when listening to that , I am envious.

 

[brad1138]

Views of my man cave (aka the Family room) I am going to get some album frames for my few records (Yes I know I don't have a turn table at the moment) and I thought the "get blown away" picture would look really cool above the futon, but aside from that and some paint my cave is shaping up.

Here is a panorama of the room

And the rack

And one more pic, this is my favorite time, kicking back and watching the sunset to music.:thmbsp:

 

[x_25]

Brad, Guitar hero must be a hoot on that. :yes:

 

[Harmonica]

I see you have Diver Down there Brad, nice choice. I think its out on display in my last listening space post too :thmbsp:

 

[Duffinator]

Nice room Brad!

 

[isilver]

Views of my man cave ...

What speakers are they Brad?

 

[Duffinator]

What speakers are they Brad?

I think they are Def Tech's. At first I thought they might be Mirage M1's but they aren't big enough.

 

[brad1138]

What speakers are they Brad?

Close Duffinator, Mirage M-3sis

 

[Duffinator]

I should have went with my original instinct. I used to own a pair of Mirage 595is speakers. You have a good room for them as they need to be far away from walls to take full advantage or their potential. Very nice speakers!

 

[opossumcrush]

Now that my kids have moved out I have my cave,all to myself. The only room I am allowed to have. All four walls.

 

[~Maxx]

Nice room opossumcrush. I wish I could make such good use of my own little space. Is that an Epiphone next to your PC desk? I can't make out the logo, but that's not a Fender head stock. Just curious...
