See signature.

Added a digital system comprising a MacBook Air 4GB RAM 256GB SSD, iTunes/BitPerfect, SuperDrive, 2TB USB HD, and a Schiit Bifrost USB DAC.

This is it before I added the music server which now sits to the left of the turntable.

Hi,
It is most unusual to see the Denon 103 in any version with the 9cc arm. Compliance figures are way off the acceptable limits. Does it sounds fine?

Hi Purnendu,

Good question indeed.

I put additional weight on the headshelll using an SME metal tip. I haven't any pictures, but as soon as I returned back home I'll take some and upload them here.

The sound is just fine

Hi All,

First post here, as I'm just setting up my system. I bought a Pro Ject Perspective new quite a few years ago, it has seen rare use in my library through an Adcom preamp while waiting for my home theater. Work is progressing nicely down there, but my Rotel 1066 prepro doesn't have a phono stage.

The system will be:

Perspective with a Sumiko Pearl cartridge
Pro Ject Phono Box S to arrive next week
Rotel 1066
Canare cables in wall to the screen wall.
Throw away ICs from wall plate to:
Bryston 4B SST2
Ancor fully tinned marine grade 16 gauge wire speaker cables (totally custom)
WATT Puppy V.1:

Photos to follow

[Jon Middleton]

The front end. I'm running a 4.1 home theater setup, so that the WATT Puppies do double duty in a 2 channel (or 2.1) stereo system. I forgot to mention that the sub is an M&K V125. Surrounds are also M&K:





Home built cabinetry. The one on the left is for the TT, the next is the equipment rack. A third is under construction and will store CDs, DVDs and BDs:







It will be a very nice multi-purpose room. For 2 channel listening, there is one circuit of low voltage halogens; spots on each front speaker, the power amp, and TT. A second circuit of halogens will illuminate photos displayed around the room, as photography is another hobby. The third is ambient lighting, for a total of 25 fixtures in the cieling. After the cabinets are done, I'll built raised panel mahogany wainscoting all around the room:

[Aural Addict]

That's pretty beautiful. I'd almost keep the wall behind the stereo and the floors rough. It looks more dramatic, although I'm sure it'll look great when finished of course
