Re: Current pics as of Dec 2009

Thanks everyone!  Just recently got the room fixed up so it was time to post new pictures.  It's been a long road, and early on there was some definate frustration, but right now my system sounds truly incredible.  Friends are stunned when they hear it. 


My system is in a dedicated room (spare bedroom).  Can't be in the main living area because the kids would eventually destroy it, plus the wife is soooo not interested. Smile

Thanks.  Sounds glorious Smile.   Lots of good cables out there.  If I was looking, I'd try the Merlin Mozart for interconnect.  Great price and money back guarantee.  For speaker cable, I've grown to love my Chord Odyssey 2 so I'd highly recommend it to anyone.  Pristine detail with the Odyssey.

They are from a company called Atlantis.  They are steel and very solid.  I have them filled with sand (baked in my oven).  I'm toying with getting the Dynaudio stands since they bolt right to the speakers with no top plate, but I really like the shorter height on these stands.  My seating is low so it makes sense.  I'm using quakehold museum putty to connect the speakers to the stands.

LOL, well, I'm pretty neat by nature so not muct to be done, but the trick to getting nice close ups is to surpress the flash.  If you use the flash, you will see every spec of dust or finger print.  Without the flash, it looks pack fresh.  Also, use the macro feature if your cam has one.

It's just a fancy power strip.  I've got the other boxes plugged into it.  It is suppose to remove line noise from the wall current and protect equipment from a power surge.  It has two guages on the front that display amps and voltage.  Luckily, it matches the blue lights from the NAD gear.  The manufacturer is panamax.

Re: Current pics as of Dec 2009

looks great jax!  very nice set-up.  if you can try the dyn's on some really hefty 4 pillar stands filled with sand/whatever, i noticed quite an improvement over some lighter ones.
