Whats In Your Living Room System!!!!!

[sqlsavior]

My signature system is in my living room:


I also have the following hooked up to it:

Denon DP1200 turntable
Benz Micro Wood SM cartridge
Parks Audio Budgie SUT
Luxman C1000 preamp
Hughes satellite receiver
Musical Fidelity V-90 DAC
two Hsu Research STF-2 subs

The main phono front end is actually in the next room, however:

Thanks!

Our high school in Tucson had a "Professional Internship Program" that I signed up for in my senior year, except instead of working in a doctor's office, I said I wanted to be an apprentice to a custom bicycle frame builder. There were three in town in 1975, and the counselor actually pursued it, so I ended up with Colin Laing, a frame builder from England who had moved to Tucson. "All those old cowboy movies said 'Filmed in Tucson'. I thought I'd be working next to a livery stable", he told me once. I filed a lot of frame tubes flush and cleaned up a lot of lugs for him, and he let me build a frame for myself. It was later stolen in a burglary, and a bike-shop customer who had heard me describe it came across it maybe a year later, and got it returned to me, after I had moved to Seattle, in a minor miracle.

When I actually start riding it, I'll have an excuse for making the entrance way "look like a frat house", as my wife puts it.

Behind the back wheel are the wires from the other room, coming out of the wall and under a threshold across the door. I need to make a section of skirting to hide them, but the bicycle distracts from them, for now.

Update as it's changed since I previously posted in this thread. Now the LR system is:

McIntosh MX117 tuner/preamp
Mcintosh MC502 amplifier
ADS L1290 speakers
Harman/Kardon T55C turntable / Ortofon OM30
Marantz CD6006 CD player
Pioneer RT-701 reel-to-reel deck

Everything gets used often except that r2r deck, which I fire up occasionally. We're pretty happy with this system now.
