Changes have been made. Must present new photos
« on: April 25, 2012, 01:15:44 PM »
The stereos have changed a bit. In the Living room I put a pair of Energy Reference 22 Pro speakers powered by the old Bryston 3B. I also moved the Carver TFM 35x to that cabinet for zone 2 powering my outdoor speakers.
In the "den" I had an old Telefunken console that was starting to sag under the weight. It was replaced today by a Scott console cabinet. Tommy and I picked up the cabinet the other night, and it was in so/so condition. I sanded down the to, removing the old varnish and water stains, and re-stained it with a medium oak and it looks pretty nice. I also did some demo on the inside to make room for my components, and put a sturdy shelf in using 2x8s. The turntable being used is my back-up (Yamaha YP-211). The preamp is a new acquisition (Sound Valves VTP-100).

Everything looks good, Ed! I'll make it out there after the semester ends in a few weeks.

The meters, oh the meters, and how they light up a white living room. :) :)

Ed, are the surrounds on the 2-way's woofers "inverted"?

SD, yes, they are inverted. They are also hand stitched and, I'm assuming, glued to the cone. Anytime you want to stop by, just let me know.

Very nice, it's fun when everything is moved, almost like a new system. How do you like the Sound Valves  Pre?

I like it a lot so far. I'm excited to get my turntable back to try out the phono section.
