Show us your home setup

I'm not sure how or why but i think my amp is just to powerful for them chris

even my senn hd hd800s struggle with it lad.....and yet the cheap headphones i have don't but the cheap ones are far to uncomfortable lad....i also have a pair of Beyer dynamic high end cans but i need a new cable for them and some sony xb 10000...funny thing i love cans again lad more than ever so much so I'm hardly using my speakers....me in my own quiet little world lol

 

wow, that's a nice system toocool, and your own music room..

 

ha ! long time, no see, good old mate

 

hey, autoreverser.
you are still alive and kicking..
that's the fun part of this forum, people of 20 years ago, are still here.
well, it's less walkman these days. buying alot of cd's. bought 200 this month, more than i can listen every day.

 

Thanks 19lexicon78 nice to see you back.

 

…it‘s been more than 20 years, you were allready on the very old board (shared with pocketcalculatorshow-page), weren‘t you ?
do you still have your EMT‘s ?

 

hi toocool, back in business.

autoreverser: yes, the old board. i think there were only 5 members or so at the walkman forum, boombox was the popular one. those first years were the best..!!! was the only walkman collector in the netherlands, nobody wanted those dd9's..

yes, still have the emt 950. my audio board doesn't work, needs to get checked. sold the emt 981, don't like that one. use my studer d730 as cd-drive=cdm4 pro, aes digital-out to external DAC. these new dac's are so much better than tda1541 or 1547.
it's all about cd's, these years. this week i will buy the philips complete mozart edition 180 cd. 22kg...

 

...don't forget to take the time, listening to them

 

cd's rock, pop, jazz are best till +/-1993. from 1993 and later, compression. it's such an ugly sound. too much treble, sometimes it sounds if someone sings in a paper megaphone. the cd's of the last 10-15 years are worst of them all, it's a wall of sound, no dynamics. fortunate, not for classical music.
but if i have to choose a 80's pop/rock/jazz cd or a remaster, 80's cd for the win.

 

as my vintage Cabasse-speakers were a bit to big for my little music-room, i finally got me as an alternative some Tannoy Gold 8 nearfield-monitors.
great active speakers, powering them with an old Nak CA-5 pre-amp. through their wide angle, they give good stereo-sound on both chairs:

 

TC 510/2 makes a good space filler...

Also, the four album covers on the wall, are they your week's 'featured albums' or are they the playing queue?

Lovely room

 

gosh, that goose is alive

i just like those four albums there, there's no particular rules for those four albums, but they change regularly. there's allways a reason why they show up there, right now it's those four (top left/right, bottom left/right):

- kikagaku moyo - stone garden one of my favourite albums off those five long haired japanese guys, nice space/krautrock from 2018, guru guru brain records
- nostra signora delle tenebre - l'arcano, il macabro, il proibito nice psych-rock sampler from2015, contains film-music of horror b-movies, backwards records
- valentina magaletti - la tempestra colorata (for me she's the best drummer alive), this copy is signed by her personal, recorded live in 2021, colourful stone records
- crayola eyes - gushing indie-rock, nice wax in bi-colour red/turquois, fuzz club records 2023

 

Interesting speaker stand, autoreverser. Looks like a game of Jenga. What is it?

 

ha,

that's made of wooden bricks, wich were to be thrown away at our local primary-school (finally got'em for a little donation)

 

So I was correct it is like Jenga

 

autoreverser, nicee
do you have a nagra??
thorens, sony d5, nagra, knows his stuff.. damn
wish i had a house.
could place all my cd's and lp's.

 

My Technics home system...

 

Hi guys! Long time no talk to lol. I went through some life-changing experiences, and all is well. Looks like some great set ups in this thread since I left, very nice gentlemen.

I downsized a lot! these days running a Marantz 2385 receiver, with a pair of original Klipsch Forte 1 speakers, a couple of turntables, a nice A&D GX Z9100 cassette deck, and a couple of DAC’s. Not even a subwoofer in the house lol.

Don’t mind my daughter’s toys… for some reason they ended up by daddy’s toys.

Anyway talk to you soon and nice to be back, and I hope you’re all doing well.
