Never heard of it and cool! Thanks, Ken.
That glass top table would drive me buckin' fonker's with the reflections. I don't know how you could deal with that. Great lookin' room, regardless.
Is this a secondary room? Reason I ask is I know how much you love vinyl...yet, I don't see a TT anywhere.

I have a Maplenoll turntable

I have a Shelter 901 cartridge that I recently had to have repaired and it came back sounding better than ever. I connect the Shelter to a pair of Bent Audio transformers and then to a Tom Tutay phono stage.

The control preamp I built myself, I admit to being influenced by CJ in designing the faceplate.

Ah, so there was a TT in that photo. Schweeeet!

Here's the external power supply for the preamp, I built it first and used it with an Audio Research SP3 that I modified. Then when completed I connected it to the new preamp. I designed it so I could turn on the filament supply first, then when the voltage has reach the correct level (that's what the volt ohm meter is for) the high voltage power supply can be turned on. That avoids damaging the tubes, I haven't needed to change tubes in many years.

As a bypass, whenever I turn on my Canary pre? I turn it to the selection I want and wait (as I do other things) until it's ready to rock.
Usually about 5 minutes...

The art object was done by a local friend of ours, Dave Gibney. He used found objects and some Tandberg and Ampex circuit board parts I gave him to make it. It's great to have something abstract to look at while listening.
I would love to see a closeup of especially the art object and the CD player.

Dave is an amazing artist and person, he built his house completely himself. Designed it and constructed it piece by piece.
-
-
He even constructed all of the windows himself. -
This is a fireplace he built from scratch. -

He has been an inner city teacher in Baltimore, showing kids how to make a living restoring buildings. He and his wife have restored buildings all over the world, a gas station on Route 66 a swimming pool in the tropics. And the nicest couple you would ever want to meet. -
@SeleniumFalcon - that was very interesting Ken. So I went I tried to find more information.
I found this article.

Dave and Sarah operate a B&B where they live, very close to where the Appalachian Trail crosses South Mountain. Dave has created an outdoor sculpture path around the area where he lives and visitors can walk around it as it weaves over a stream and through the woods.
