Pics of your listening space

Its very good!,clear vinyl with nothing on the label but white, its a reissue, looks like an old bootleg. I'd like to get volume two soon as well, it is more psychedelic

I have many Pebbles titles on tape from many years ago. If you like that one, seek out the others, you won't be sorry. I recognized the unique edition you had and it piqued my interest.:music:
 
Considering I flip burgers for a living this setup is all I can afford for the time being. I really enjoy it and think I got the best bang for my buck. I got my sansui for three dollars at the thrift store! I consider my guitar audio as well!

*I didn't measure the cabinet before buying at the thrift store so nothing fits inside. It still serves its purpose though.

*having trouble finding affordable speakers stands and do not have the tools to make some sadly.

Nec Authentic Series Turntable with Grado Green
Sansui Reciever
Allasandro Music Series 1 Headphones
ESM Speakers

Thought I'd show some records I have been listening to lately.

Nothing to apologize there. I used to flip burgers and when I did, I didn't have nearly the setup you do. Mine was a Panasonic all-in-one, and the turntable had a ceramic cart on it. Blah! The 661 is a nice little receiver..I've had the 551 and 771 that flank it in the lineup.
 
Here's the latest update to the rack in my cave.

Did some moving around and sold some gear. Also bought new furniture and bought a new stand to match. Here's the new upstairs system. Maybe not as fancy as what it replaces but its simpler and more important... higher WAF! Still need to clean up & hide cabling but one thing at a time.

Pioneer SX-680 receiver
Technics SL-J2 turntable
JVC XL-Z444 cd player
Audio Alchemy Digital Decoding Engine 1.0
Realistic Mach 1's
Sony BDP-S550 blu-ray
Sony Bravia 40" lcd

Hello everyone,

I'm new here.
I almost finished with room renovation.
Finaly the cables run hidden and the place looks simple and clean.
My audio system is nothing extraordinary but fits together great, sounds nice and I love it.:music:

I would say that for a music lover, that turntable stand is unforgivable ;)

Agreed! A $20 Craigslist end table (or $10 Ikea Lack side table for that matter) would go a long way towards making your turntable sound better. Get that TT on a proper table, and level that platter, stat! I fear for your stylus and SME arm. :yikes:

Rob your gear is some of the sweetest stuff I've seen in a students room. It does deserve to be properly setup (and pictured) as others have already pointed out. ;)

Enjoy it! (Student life, music, audio, phography ;) )
 
Welcome here Ramoray. :)
What project are those excellent looking DIY speakers?
Or did you design them from the ground up?
Would love to read more about them.

Thank you for warm welcome and sorry if my english is bad.
Those speakers are the Experience V20 from Visaton.
Here…

Earlier I built the Cheap trick 142 and I was really impressed by the small thing for that little money
so I decided to build a 3 way better one. Even though I’m not a carpenter it was not a big deal
to build them and the price was still reasonable for me.
If you are interested I have some pictures of construction.
I can put them to DIY topic with some more details.
 
:yes: I have a 770D and love it. Nice stuff.

:thmbsp:
I used to run my speakers with Technics SU-C 800U + SE-A 800S.
A month ago I found the KA1100D for a ridiculous 18000 HUF (USD 90,-).

Well, Technics was fine but this „tank” is AWESOME.
25 years old, it suffers from scratchy pots and switches but BOY WHAT A DIFFERENCE in sound! On ANY volume level.
