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 onPolk Audio: SDA SRS 2.3tl, SDA 1C, SDA 2B (TL mod), Reserve 200 || Zu Audio Omen dirty Weekend MKII

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.Polk Audio: SDA SRS 2.3tl, SDA 1C, SDA 2B (TL mod), Reserve 200 || Zu Audio Omen dirty Weekend MKII

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.

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

Just found an item on the Legrand site that will work good for a project I'm doing. Thanks! -
Swapped out the Aric Audio Unlimited preamp for the Prometheus TVC in the basement system,and playing with some weights on my equipment. (Heavy door stops) A tiny bit more focus. More pronounced in my main system on suspended floors.

Well, i supplied the equipment, but she does have a keen aesthetic sense.
Her gift pulled the room together like The Dude’s area rug.
The limited real estate on the mantle forced me to do what I always intend to do, KISS, but somehow I always find a way to muck that up. 😂
My workspace is off to the side at an angle from this set-up. The balance control on my Arcam integrated is a much appreciated adjustment capability for the first time since 2004, when I purchased it. Glad this feature exists.
