    I found this a little funny. Music Direct uses "NHT" Now Hear This and thier ad does not feature a single NHT model. Just a little chuckle.

    Yeah, that kind of stuck in my craw, too!
    On the bright side, Ken Kantor has a pretty active presence at Flikr (not too much hifi, but some nice images).

    The salmon colored shelves were built when I lived in Baltimore. The black ones are from Ikea, we added metal feet and a masonite back. Here are some early photos when we first moved here showing the transplant shelves after we repainted them.wji4wjl7no35.jpg

    My wife photoshopped a representation of what everything might look like. We ended needing two more of the Ikea shelves to fit the records. Plus several other record shelves that we also brought from Baltimore.

    As so often (and so unfortunately) seems to happen to real experts when they show up on enthusiast forums, he got picked at by some folks who didn't agree with/accept certain of his positions, so he moved along. Danged shame, IMO. He is a fine fellow based on my interactions with him (which have mostly concerned photography, amusingly enough).

    Yay. :/

    We've been seeing this one twice a day for three or four days now. Don't like seein' 'em in the daytime. They're not supposed to be out in the daytime... but this one does not seem to be sick (i.e., rabid -- sheesh, did I really type rabbit, or did Autocorrect see me comin'? :| ). Seems to be feeding; maybe supporting a brood?

    Ken, is your listening area on a slab in the new digs?

    Very nice room!

    Is it just an optical illusion, or does the ceiling slope up towards the speakers?

    Ken,
    You and your wife have done a great design and decorating job on that "audio" space.

    I meant to ask you this when I first saw the Shoji screens at the end of the room. Is that an end wall the screens are covering? And what is behind regarding the lighting?

    Did the Ikea shelves come with the legs or did you put metal legs on the Ikea shelves?

    You mentioned Baltimore; what city/state do you live now, if I may ask?

    Glad you remain a dedicated member of this forum!

    Geez that's quite the collection Ken!

    Had the pleasure of listening to a reel-to-reel demo for the first time two years ago. (I know, I'm such a millennial) never really experienced music like that before.

    EDIT: I know the collection is a vinyl collection. I just wanted to comment on his reel-to-reel as well. Editing before all you audiophiles pounce on me.
