Yeah it was a buy it now at about 2am, I must have just got lucky. I was just starting an mixing course at the time, so the guy was pretty stoked as his old man was a studio engineer. I bought so much old tape in huge job lots, that I pretty much learnt overnight the bad companies for sticky shed. Capitol AAARRGHHH!!!!

Yeah the band, haha I only play synth/boards (sorta) but i'm a better engineer than a musician :P I used to play the drums so i've got good timing, and I'm trying to self teach guitar. So who knows...

WOW - some great systems!

Mine, as of this spring; turntables include a Technics SL-1200MkII, Pro-Ject 2 Xperience, and a Rega P78.

Not the best set of photo's, but the night is setting in so have to do with the best I can get.

One of my listening spaces (the cellar) and other than the system there is only a couch and one chair. Just the way I like it. My son wanted to introduce a television, but he soon got the message.

Presently housing my Pink Triangle/Notts Analogue/Boboli, Rotel head amp, Roksan Kandi III and a pair of 84(?) Castle Howard MkII's which I don't really see me ever parting ways with. Oh and half DIY deck presently being taken apart. Slowly.

Nice thing having two systems is swapping and changing. Thinking of a shuffle the next time home.

Yes that is the electricity meter and house electrics in the corner (wanted an industrial look) and yes the ceiling is only 6ft 2'' which proves a problem when you're 6ft 3''

SF,

What no cautionary signage? What is the use of having all of those art supplies? :wink: :lol:

No safety signage based on the fact that anyone else outside of the usual knowledgeable family shouldn't be there. May they learn the hard way.

Hi, It is interesting that light plays a part in most listening rooms, adds to the mood. I enjoy the lights off at night for long listening sessions.
To every problem there is a solution, which is economical, understandable, applicable and wrong.
