What did you do to your stereo rig today?

Hooked the Yamaha px-3 to the carver c-19 .

Took advantage of the rebuild to put some paint on the wall. Wife wanted something darker and more dramatic, “it’s a fun room, not a kids play room, I want it dark and dramatic”. So I must oblige since she lets me keep my expensive **** stereo equipment and kegerator up there without any push back. It’s a bit dark for my tastes but I’m sure it will look great during the day with a lot of natural light up there

Love it! I once had an HT with navy blue walls all around. It was pretty awesome IMO.Things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out.-John Wooden

That color looks like a cross between deck grey and navy blue. I like it! I suspect the TV screen will blend in to the wall very well. Also, it sounds like your wife is a keeper! Audio room with tasty cold beverage dispenser, yes please....SDA SRS 2.3tl, SDA 1C, SDA 2B (TL mod), Reserve 200

I think that's a great looking color stangman67 for a listening-fun room. How about a pic of the kegerator?

Here’s a few pictures of the bar. Built with IKEA cabinets and tabletop.

That looks awesome! Pouring what looks like a delicious Hazy IPA. Breweries are one of very few things I miss about San Diego.Post edited by Navy_Goat onSDA SRS 2.3tl, SDA 1C, SDA 2B (TL mod), Reserve 200

Plenty of good breweries almost everywhere now. I lived in San Diego for a few years. Norfolk now and the microbrewery scene is great2 Channel in my home attic/bar/man cave

I lived in Norfolk a long time ago. I do remember the beer scene being pretty good even then. I recall a few nice tap rooms in Ghent.SDA SRS 2.3tl, SDA 1C, SDA 2B (TL mod), Reserve 200

I live in Colonial Place which is in the same area as Ghent. I can walk to three breweries and there’s 7-8 more within a 5 minute drive2 Channel in my home attic/bar/man cave

I like dark and light colors, I got tired of anything brown/tan or gold/brass, everything in my house has been replaced or painted that had anything with those colors..

Thanks for the pics; That's a beautiful room all the way around and I could see spending a lot of hours in there.

Oh yeah, I’ll second that. Triple distilled! -
Today was new stylus day in my house. The Signet cartridge was installed on a Technics SL-Q2 that I picked up last summer. The Shure was on a Dual 1229 that my wife drug home from a recent trip to some local thrift stores. I thought the stylus on the signet was worn, installing the new stylus confirmed it. The Shure V15 sounds about the same leading me to believe the "old stylus was in at least decent shape. The poor Dual was trashed so that was a surprise.
ATN-120eb for a signet 5e cartridge downstairs in the sitting room.
Jico VN35E for a Shure V15 type III in the office.

That color is just a little too dark. You should repaint it before it's too late.

I think it is awesome, I bought the variant with USBs in the outlet so I could power my LED strip lights and Roku without having to use power bricks. Super easy to install and very functional2 Channel in my home attic/bar/man cave

So is it a short extension cord that just takes power from the left outlet (existing outlet) to the right outlet that then runs up behind the wall to an outlet for the TV? Seems like a cleaner more hidden look could be achieved by just installing an outlet behind the TV and then dropping a wire to the back of the existing outlet.
-
Yup that is exactly what it is. And yes I could have just put an outlet back there, but I’m his was easier and I like the result. You can also run additional a/v cables from the lower outlet and through the main box behind the tv without cutting additional holes.
Many ways to do it, this is a good option that I like2 Channel in my home attic/bar/man cave
