Thanks everyone.  The acoustic tiles definitely make a difference.  My man cave is almost completely underground so there is cinder blocks, then wood stud, then cheap wood paneling.  I find that my bass has a tendency to collect in weird areas and at times sound a bit noisy.  These just cut down on the noise and give my sweet spot a much better controlled sound.

Looking through this thread it was fun watching your system change.
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

Yup, wild to see how things changed in 2+ years.  I'd post new pics but all my gear is broken down and getting ready for CF.

Awesome turntables man! I've never heard those Carver speakers before. One day I hope to.

I have a question about your Apple TV. Do you use that to stream music, or is it like a Roku device for streaming movies only? I'm fairly ignorant about streaming music but I want to get something for Christmas. I'm looking at the Logic Squeezebox touch or the Sonos.

Funny enough, as you can tell from my signature, I no longer have either of those tables.  ???

I have the first version AppleTV with an upgraded 160GB internal hard drive.  It's synched to a media server I host in the house.  Leaving iTunes open on the server, I can stream anything to the apple tv.  I used it mainly for music.  I don't notice a difference between what fits on the drive space and what is streamed ( I have 500GB+ music).  It appears to be the same quality.  I use the optical out into a DAC and notice a large improvement as compared to using the regular RCA outs.  I have an app on my ipod touch that I use as a remote so I do not have to use my tv to view my audio menu, i can just select songs on the ipod touch and play.  Iphones have the same app.

I also use it for video as well, running a hdmi cable to my tv.  On the newer AppleTV's, you don't have a drive but you can stream/view your desktop which the older versions cannot.

I don't have any experience with a Squeezebox or other devices but i'm sure others on the forum can comment on their functionality.

Yes, very nice quiet turntable.  I have a modified rega arm.  It's be rewired completely with a bunch of michell upgrades and my own DIY junction box.
