Since the System Showcase is no more (thank you Vanilla ) I'd like you to post a picture of your setup or you can post a link to a photobucket folder that features your stuff). This will be an evolving thread so, if you make changes, post another picture or direct us to the link of your favorite photo hosting site that shows us your new gear.

Here is my current setup:



Here are some of my other setups since '04:

I was this "" close to going that way...

Shoot, we should shut this thread down before Lightman1 thinks this is an X-rated thread.

I'll post pics of my new set up once our couch arrives Wednesday.

Hear (<-- that was intentional ) is the latest version.

I love them! They're excellent all round speakers (to me). Non fatiguing, crisp with ample bass. Unfortunately, they are a touch boomy in my semi-closed room (sans subwoofer) for *2channel. To many hard surfaces downstairs and not enough time to do anything about it. For movies, they rock and i'm on the hunt for the matching center which is apparently rare.

*Don't get much time to just listen to music so they are basically HT speakers for now.

Hey Mrbiron, If I get a wild hair, would you be interested in testing an integrated for me on your Zu's. I'll pay for the shipping....it's this little sweet heart

I'd love too. The only problem is i am really short on time these days. Also, i'd have to figure out how to get music to it. Lots has changed and i run bare nitty gritty for right now. No DAC or CD player.

PC ->HDMI to Anthem MRX300 ->preout to Aux
or
PC -> USB to Peachtree Decco -> preout to Aux

Not that i'm trying to back out but isn't there a local TX guy with Zu's? I tried searching for him (or her) only to come up empty.

Those devices up by the crown molding are cameras in case anyone gets
near the system.

He did, but he went on a spiritual quest a year or so ago, and they went early.

I also have a small form Chord DAC I could ship with it.

Looks like a pretty nice neigborhood to me.
I don't see a single empty, greasy pizza box, e.g.
No empty beer bottles, either.
Classy joint.



EDIT: But, but -- I don't see a phono preamp?! Where's your phono preamp!?
Whoops -- I know where it is

EDIT^2: FWIW, I really like the wall color! Looks like a light, sage-y green on my monitor(?). Nice color.

This will be a nice thread to follow

Not true. No kids and wife only watches the TV. No need to worry about it.

Todd, your room is still one of the most comfortable listening rooms I have been in. I've never felt so at home in someone else's room before.

Thanks man. It has taken sometime to put together but I am content at this point. or at least until the cd/sacd/transport/DAC bug bites. I'm trying not to let it pull me down.

I clean up my beer bottles thank you very much!

It's called "Contended" by Sherwin Williams. It's my favorite color in the house! Greenish Grey

Thank the heavens New Hampshire doesn't acknowledge common law or that preamp would be yours. It wouldn't matter because my turntable is in an unmentionable location right now singing the rubbermaid blues...

My stuff is still in boxes. Not much to see at this point.

Halo, funny that you started this thread today. For the last ten years or so I've had nothing but SDA's in my 2-channel set-up.

This morning I received a pair of Dynaudio Contour S 3.4 LE's and rolled them into the mix.

They will need plenty of break-in so I'm told, so the process has started. They have already opened up considerably in just a few hours...Good stuff

How are you feeling about them being a long time SDA listener?

Depends on how long the words are but sometimes. In this case I was hoping to get more detailed info than "good stuff".
