October 12, 20196 yr comment_811883 Pretty sure it is. Variac + VU meter == preamp or impedance matcher or power supply or...? Report
October 13, 20196 yr comment_811902 ^ More importantly, there are no interconnects to the power amp, nor is the AC cord plugged in. Report
October 13, 20196 yr comment_811906 O think it is an AC regenerator for the turntable motor. The variac is used to set the voltage. I think that the knob at the bottom is a frequency switch to set the motor speed (45/33/78). Looks homebrew. Report
October 15, 20196 yr comment_811948 all kinds of porn there.but the person who has to sit in the cream colored leather chair sure gets a sucky listening angle.. Report
October 15, 20196 yr comment_811950 I'm thinking the chair might be part of the room treatment. The first deflection for the left speaker. Report
October 15, 20196 yr comment_811959 The first picture (if you look at the pattern of the carpet) shows the chair is absolutely on axis between the speakers. The second photo's angle gives a deceptive perspective. Report

October 23, 20196 yr comment_812355 In this case the cinder blocks are from Home Depot? Either the residents are dwarfs or isn't that window set a bit low? Report
October 23, 20196 yr comment_812357 I think you are only seeing the bottom half of the window - or else it's an attic room with a low ceiling at the wall. Cinder blocks make excellent speaker stands. Edited October 23, 20196 yr by dsavitsk Report
October 23, 20196 yr comment_812358 Yes, they tend not to have extremely low (amplitude) resonances and attenuate vibrations. Report
October 23, 20196 yr comment_812362 ^ Indeed. I'm hung up on the window too. Does it open in two parts? Report
