I went ahead and put up a couple of matching blankets on back wall, doesnt look great but it helped the sound, I am leaving wall behind speakers live and deadoning the wall behind as I have di-pole mid range drivers.
I am looking into diffusers for back wall and above my seat, I have placed my DIY panels at first reflections, all in all it sounds good, not perfect but all smiles here!

Thanks Bill, it isnt perfect but I feel really lucky to have my own spaxe, I hope one day you get one for yourself!

chadnliz December 15, 2007 03:22

Chadnliz,

Must be nice to have a dedicated room! Wish I could say the same, but "not at this time" for me. Enjoy yours! Congrats!
-Bill

Wow, I do not know how did I miss your new room in M.Systems.

System edited: New room has a ways to go with tuning and tweaking but its great to have a man cave!

A friend made it from some brackets used for I think a 27 wall mount TV for office use and made a DIY MDF shelf, I am going to try to add a thick mass block of maple or something in the future.

how did you make your turntable shelf

My Rega has that counter weight tweak wich is supposed to really amp up its performance, my friend has the SMEV now that is a great arm!

chadnliz August 15, 2007 00:20

That's funny. I have a PS3 and all I use it for is to play blu-ray movies. Of course that has more to do with the fact that the PS3 doesn't have any good games.

By the way I used to have a Rega RB-300. It is a great tonearm. In fact I had to spend over $3,000 to really get a significant upgrade from it. That says a lot about the Rega.

Hey thanks,
Yes its mine but I dont play much, for some reason I always get these systems thinking I will use them and never do....................but it is here if anyone wants to use it.

chadnliz July 27, 2007 13:05

Hey Chad,

It looks like you have put together a system that you really enjoy. I have not heard most of the components but it sounds like it produces music that makes you happy...and that's what this whole hobby is about (or should be about but lots of people forget that).

By the way I spied an Xbox 360 up there on the top of the cabinet. Nice to see another gamer on Audiogon (unless that's not yours in which case ummm I guess I shouldn'task if your going to get Bioshock when it comes out in August).

System edited: Well my birthday brought some great gifts from great friends I have made here, new Hubbel outlets made a great change cleaing up and increasing image and sound, thanks Steve. Some NOS tunes of various makes to try, I have the Mullard in as of now and I like the results, thanks Bob. A new VPI 16.5 rounds out the changes allowing me to persue cheap vinyl and get quality sound, thanks John! Everything sound pretty good, but better at night when power seems cleaner...I am enjoying the system more then ever again thanks to all who help me out in this journey, you guys have no idea how much pleasure you have helped me acheive!

chadnliz July 26, 2007 19:53

Thanks Brent, always great to here from you.

chadnliz July 06, 2007 18:37

Chad , I keep watching your system evolve. I like the direction you are heading. Very nice system my friend!!

chadnliz May 06, 2007 00:53

Thanks Young.. I think you meant to post on your own system but I get the idea:)

chadnliz April 28, 2007 02:04

I should probably add that I didn't pay full price for those Mont Blanc cables, I know they're probably a bit above what I should have done for my system, but I got a good deal and couldn't pass them up! Plus, if I ever upgrade to Quatros or 5As, I won't need to upgrage my speaker wire right away too.

youngaudiogeek April 28, 2007 00:44

Thank you for your kind words. I do have a local Vandersteen dealer and the 5A is a goal, you could say, but I've listened to the quatros, not the 5As yet. They really impressed me on how good they sounded from top to bottom. I listen to a lot of jazz which is upright bass and piano heavy, and the music just seemed to suit the quatros so well. They are probably more realistic for me since I'd have to make major electronics upgrades to justify the 5As, and maybe not quite so much with the Quatros. Who knows? Thanks for the comments!

youngaudiogeek April 28, 2007 00:39

HA! I never noticed she was in the pic, ok this will sound goofy but I swear she likes Classical music. When Liz goes off to bed she will follow her 9 times of 10 but if I playing Classical she hangs with me......go figure.
We had 2 birds but lost one to old age not too long ago, so we moved the last one in the living room so it wouldnt be so lonely, I move her into the spare room when I listen at louder volumes.
I bet my dog (D.O.G.)<<<chadnliz April 13, 2007 19:01

the puppy looks very happy must be those valvo tubes .

mcphile April 13, 2007 18:32

Thanks W... I really like it and it never disapoints and I would say try it, as I doubt it will let you down.

chadnliz April 13, 2007 18:29

Very nice looking system Chad. I bet it sounds as good as it looks. How do you like your AT ML150? AT seems to make some very good performing cartridges and the ML150 is one I have considered.
