3/12/06: Updated for 2006 - I'm in a new dedicated room. the room measures 15' X 20'6" with 7'10" ceilings. I've got 2 built in bookshelves in the rear of the room, one on the left & one on the right. The floors are hardwood with a throw rug on the floors. For football fans, my theme is the Pittsburgh Steelers. I've got 14 framed prints in the room. For sound treatment, I've got 15 Real Traps on the walls & ceilings; 4 mondo, 4 mini, 7 micro. In addtion, I have a 60amp sub-panel with a dedicated ground & my HT in this room.
7/03/04: I m back to the basics vinyl. This is my two channel system & Im done for now. The room is 13 X 16.5 X 8 ceilings with a 10X10 office open and adjacent to the listening area. The room is treated with echo busters and double busters. Ive treated all my PCs, interconnects, etc. with Caig Pro Gold & it works great. I think it added to the spacing of instruments within the soundstage.

This looks to be a very well thought out system. I had trouble dtermining the cartridge though (is it the denon). Don't have any familiarity with the tylers other than seeing them on audiogon. How do they sound? Enjoy
