Well, it's been slow around here, so I thought I might take a few pics of the 2-ch room and invite some criticism. Have at it boys.

    Do you guys think I should look into doing some cable management?

    Maybe I'll just spend my time listening to music while I fix that Sansui receiver. After all the boxes make for nice acoustic treatments.

    I'm trying to remember what I shipped you in the big white box, that's certainly my 'fragile' marking.
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    What model RTR's are those? What ARE we seeing in the pics. I can make out a Dynaco preamp, and your periscopes, that's about it.

    Cheers,

    I love it ...

    Not only stacked speakers, but stacked everything ...

    It would appear to be a little short on sitting room though.

    Have you experimented with room treatment? I think if you move some of those boxes back behind your gear rack you might get better imaging

    :D

    I think we should play, "Name that Equipment"....

    Top shelf right is an ST-70 Dynaco.

    2nd shelf is a Dynaco Pre... I'll say PAS 3

    Is that a SoundCraftsman EQ on the third shelf?

    Not a PAS 3, nor a Soundcraftsmen EQ. Keep it coming guys. I'll let you know a little later. After Lion King.

    Looks a lot like my computer room, at the moment... 'cept I think I have MORE boxes---- and no tubes.


    Pioneer EQ?

    If not PAS 3 then it's a PAS with a Silver face plate.

    Is the EQ an SAE?

    looks like a Pioneer EQ I had a long long time ago
    Dodd - Battery Preamp
    Monarchy Audio SE100 Delux - mono power amps
    Sony DVP-NS999ES - SACD player
    ADS 1230 - Polk SDA 2B
    DIY Stereo Subwoofer towers w/(4) 12 drivers each
    Crown K1 - Subwoofer amp
    Outlaw ICBM - crossover
    Beringher BFD - sub eq

    Where is the remote? Where is the $%#$% remote!

    Electronics - left to right, top to bottom

    1 - AMC CD8b CD player, Dynaco ST-70
    2 - AMC 1100 Preamp atop a Dynaco PAT4 pre, AVA SUPER PAS4i tube preamp (in black)
    3 - BSR EQ-3000 atop a Pioneer SG-9 EQ, Soundcraftsmen PCR-800 amp, AA "Dac in the box"
    4 - Sansui TU-3900 tuner

    Floor:
    Dual 510 TT atop a Garrard (?) TT

    Speakers:
    12" full range in DIY BR cabs sitting atop Monitor 10Bs, the periscopes.

    The RTRs in the second picture are Series IV Model A and it (the other one isn't seen) is atop an Altec Lansing Segovia.

    I'm really enjoying this AVA PAS4i. It's a Van Alstine original with Telefunkens in the phono and Cryo'd Pearls for the line levels. It has stepped attenuators and dual outs. I switch between the Polks with the Soundcraftsmen and the full range with the Dynaco.

    I would enjoy giving those periscopes a good listning. They are probably very unique in sound.

    The cure for all the boxes is a case of beer on a Saturday, good tunes and just start chucken. Been there and still am... since my move the boxes found a home in the garage and the vehicles sit outside in all this crappen ice and snow.

    Well, I got the case of beer and started chuckin'. The problem is that I now have more gear out, more peanuts than this gallery, even more empty bottles (10c deposit), and need to take a stack of boxes to the recy' center.

    The good news is that I changed the stylus in the Dual and was listening to it most of the night.:D

    I would love it but would definetly need help with making my own base and straight pipe.
