August 2, 20241 yr The landlord seemed baffled at the size of "the stereo" for a 400 s.f. apartment. "Stereo? Oh no, that's just the video system. The stereo is still packed in boxes." These non audiophiles. They're so odd. Yes, that's a woodburning stove behind. Something I'll never use. Still have my Alaskan blood. Never used the heat in my last place in 7 years. I do have a few electric heaters if needed, but pretty sure they'll gather dust too. Edited August 2, 20241 yr by swt61
August 2, 20241 yr No Noel Lee products were used in the making of these photos! I've built my own speaker cables, with a bit of advice from a New Hampshire circle hole cutter. Edited August 2, 20241 yr by swt61

August 3, 20241 yr The audio system is close, but as you can see I need to buy a pair of Monoprice speaker stands. Probably won't hook it up until I've done that. I'm almost unpacked. Got some kitchen stuff still to do, and a few doggy things, but that's about it. Calling it quits for tonight though. Edited August 3, 20241 yr by swt61

August 3, 20241 yr Believe it or not, this is my favorite source for digital. It's just easy for me. And the Wadia sounds fantastic. And headphone central is ready for action. Edited August 3, 20241 yr by swt61
August 4, 20241 yr That iPod. Or is that just for decoration? I feed my DACs with a cheap FiiO DAP. Edited August 4, 20241 yr by robm321
August 4, 20241 yr That's an iPod that Fitz modded for me. It has a 1tb. solid state drive and an extended, upgraded battery. It'll run continuous for over 4 days. Although the Wadia charges it as well.
August 4, 20241 yr During the course of this move 6 of the 8 feet on my Gallo subs. Just desentagrated. The rubber has dried solid and they've just crumbled. They do sell replacements but they're proud of them, and I'm sure those will eventually crumble too. So I bought some 6mm Allen head bolts and some rubber tabs... They sit a bit lower but that's fine. These power conditioners make a pretty good foundation. And you can tell by the name that they're quality units. The 8 sockets per unit is just perfect for the amount of gear I have plugged into them. The old feet...
August 4, 20241 yr I'm no longer below a house, and I'm looking forward to seeing what this system is actually capable of. No other units connected to mine.

August 4, 20241 yr Marc designed these speakers and they are over achievers. But I'm dying to set my vinyl of the 1812 Overture on the turntable, and see how the system performs under load. 35 minutes ago, dsavitsk said: https://www.mcmaster.com/products/bumper-cushions/bumpers~/threaded-stud-bumpers-6/thread-size~m6/ Those are perfect.
