Cannot seem to get an image without some glare...

At moment Pioneer SX 626 Receiver is powering the 4-ohm B & O Beovox M75's, testing really; have some 8-ohm Realistic Optimus 1's waiting in the wings to try. Rega Planar P3 tt with old ELAC 344E cart., and Onkyo DX-C390 CD changer. Allied 395 Receiver not connected at right now. Got most of my records sorted, but not as "thinned out" as I'd like, those under the left hand speaker heading to Frankenfest next Saturday...and maybe the Pioneer (if my son doesn't claim it tonight :rolleyes:)
 
The latest iteration of my office system... added an LED lamp to aid in seeing the turntables when it is not sunny. I have the Freya+ and Stjarna sitting on some 16" x 16" x 3/4" thick rubber pavers from Lowes which work very well keeping vibrations to a minimum... the 55lb Wotan is too heavy for one.

^^^ What are the specifics on your lamp? I tried that gooseneck thingy you see behind my system, but whether incandescent or LED lamp it just was not satisfactory.
 
Thank you everyone, for showing your systems and rooms :cool:

I have 3 systems upstairs and 2 downstairs, pictures would not be "photogenic" because of clutter and disarray. Silly question, but who remembers 'Sanford and Son'?

My house currently looks like that, so I don't share the mess.

Nothing I own is expensive or impressive, but I use and enjoy every bit of it. More than most will ever know.

Future plans: get rid of clutter, set up a turntable for my living room system, get an MC preamp, so I can finally enjoy the Denon DL-103 I bought on bartertown

I have a nice pioneer sa-900 waiting for repair right now. I often wonder what some 4 ohm speakers would sound like with it. Those are nice stands aswell :)

Nothing I own is expensive either (unless u account maintenance costs lol) but they do impress me every day and get frequent use.
 
Harman / Kardon *430 & 730
* Restoration forthcoming
Marantz Model 2238B
Technics SL-PD8 (2)
ADS L980/2 (L570/2 not appearing in this picture)

The twin powered receivers and CD players will sit side by side and the L570/2 speakers will be stacked on top of the 980's... the Marantz will be boxed up for temporary storage.

Hello everyone, here are some pics of my current setup which is pretty much all Sony ES products which took some time to locate at good prices and in great shape. My next project is to get this Pioneer SX-1250 restored as it is in the rust shape but that's the fun in it as to getting it back to its original beauty.

Nice equipment...I would put it all on two shorter racks though, gets unstable stacked up that high

From top to bottom

Adcom GFP-815 pre-amp. Slightly modified, cut traces and added wires to make two sets of "Main out" jacks.

Schitt Modi DAC. Bone stock.

Cambridge Audio AXC35 CDP. Bone stock.

Two Adcom GFA555 II's. Both modified with Hoppes Brain input boards and power supply sections. Custom copper bus bar. Bigger mains filter caps. Upgraded input and
speaker terminals.

What you can't see is a Dayton Audio DSP-408 DSP.

Those are AC Infinity Aircom S10 fans on top of each amp.

All stacked in a custom made rack from locally sourced Poisonwood.

The speakers were made by me using the Zaph Audio SB12.3 kit from Madisound.
