The Rega Apollo pic was pretty tough. You only get a few second window.
I had to take about 30 pics of the record spinnin' due to blurring. That's the only one that came out right.
I could have stopped it, but Jimi playing Voodoo Child shouldn't be interrupted for anything. |

Very cool Stu...I'll put some of my old ones on later this weekend. I might even post some of my vintage experiment pics. Right now I'm runnin' a 1977 Kenwood KA3500 with Pinnacle AC 650 speakers. I'm trying my wife's 7 year old Sony DVD player for a source just for the heck of it. Using .39 cent a foot Liberty Cable 16 ga speaker wire and home brew interconnects. It's wild!!!
Love your Bryston pic and ofcourse THE VINYL SOURCE...long live vinyl. Thanks for starting this thread it should be fun.
Stryvn...let it all hang out baby!!! |

Nice setup Stu. Musical purist comes to mind.
I've got a few system shots over at the HT bragging spot.
http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/3/351252.html
Only real changes since the new TV have been to re-wire everything to get the cables in some semblance of order, and to clear off the stand so that the TV sits alone (I'm easily distracted, what can I say). |

Nice setup Stu. What kind of speakers are those? Judging from the slope of the ceiling it looks like you have your listening room up in a loft or a finished attic? |

Thanks everyone.
Stephen, I saw your new TV. Very nice. I was going to post over there, but that area gets trolled way too much, and a lot of the regulars over here don't go over there.
David,
Speakers are PSB Image T55. Its a finished attic. I'm so much better off up there. My wife and I have the agreement that I get the attic and do with it what I want, and she gets the rest of the house.
Lets get some more pics!!! |

lol......no. Not worse than Cocoon's mess.
I'm looking to build my own rack. Finding something to model it on is proving difficult. Wife don't like the one I like. This thread will hopefully inspire.
For now gear sits on groovy coffee table of sorts(circa 1977) |

The cables thing really is a bit of a bear, especially if the lengths aren't just right, some are quite rigid, etc.
And cleaning back there...OY! |

Thanks for the comments guys. Nuck- I ran into a few problems where cables were just a tad short.Cleaning...ahhh man I have to move out one the stands to even see back there. Total pain.
Stryvn- Visible cables and all dude, your system still rules. Its all about the gear and the music. |

Hey guys.
Love this forum, frequent it all the time. I thought this was a really cool thread (thanks Stu). I just wanted to contribute. This is my very modest system, I wanted to show you all mostly because I'm happy to get to see some of yours (Stu, Nick and counting....). I took extra pics around my space. Comments, opinions and suggestions are always welcome. |

Marc- Very cool setup. Very cool room. I love the gear as well. Nice job.
Stu-Thanks, and right on that you have the same tv. If your interested I have " optimal " settings when my friend from Sony calibrated it for me, if your interested. Made a huge difference on picture quality. |

I'd greatly appreciate them Marc. This thing is such a pain in the butt to calibrate. I'd have to fine tune them to my room's light levels, but I'm sure the overall quality will be much better. Not that it looks bad at all, but its got so many odd settings.
Send me a PM when you get the chance. Thanks. |

Stu, I believe Nick will be providing you the TV settings. Trust me on this one, you don't want me calibrating anything cause somethin's bound to blow!

Only 3 set ups posted. Man I would have thought most of you had wallet shots of your system that you carry around with you.
Stu, thanks for kicking this off, nice set up.
Nick, again, nice and clean. Cable mess? Wait till you see my cluster-fluck.
Marc, Nice room and really like your rack! 
I just spotted this post but will ask if anyone has thought to separate audio from video set ups?
I just changed out gear so I have some tools and stuff to tidy before I post. Otherwise, you will all get to see my room as it is, work in progress. |

Need 50' of 10g power runs x2, gotta shop the co-op.

Love the pics, guys! Very nice setups!
Shoot! I want to get in on this, but I can't at this very moment.
We've been making some house changes for several months and everything is in disorder. I have two of my systems in partial setup just so we have the music. But neither are complete and where they will eventually be setup. Like I said, everything is a mess in here.
Once everything is finished and my systems are relocated and setup properly and completely; I will definately post a bunch of pictures! |

Speaking of disorder...I bought 3 sets of speakers, a receiver, and 2 turntables today at a garage sale. It's gettin' difficult to walk around in my little place. |
