Hi all...might as well jump on the bandwagon. I've enjoyed looking at and reading about the various systems in here - so many "music-oriented" approaches.
Here is my listening hovel, sometimes called the Music Library or Listening Lounge or whatever:
For context, it's a third-floor "bedroom" in a 1920s colonial, approx 15x12, with a sloping ceiling (as you can see). I know I'm fortunate to have a dedicated room, such that it is.
System is a hodge-podge of stuff:
- GR Research N2x+ speakers
- conrad-johnson SA-250 amp
- McIntosh C220 preamp
- Denon DVD-3910 "universal" player
- Pro-Ject Xperience turntable w/Ortofon 2M Black cartridge
- McIntosh MR74 tuner (currently being repaired, so a little back-up is in its place) connected to a 4-element Yagi on the roof
Cables are mostly mid-level Audioquest interconnects with Avanti Audio (or Nordost) speaker cables.
My preferences/tastes are mostly classical, Jazz, and opera (not always in that order) and there are about 1500+ CDs and 2000+ LPs in the room out the door just to the left of the photo plus a couple hundred music books, classical music scores, and opera vocal/piano scores out there too as well as behind the camera.
