This is the listening room. Two channel stereo is the goal and the surround system shares the space with video. The dimensions are 17 feet at the front, 9 feet tall, and 25 feet deep. Acoustical treatments are hand-made quilts and tapestries, additional area rug on carpet, and acoustical panelling towards the rear. Also, behind the listening area is my Baldwin 7 foot grand piano.
Hi! Yes, I love the GS phono amp. Before I only had an older MMF Phono-Pak, a very entry level phono stage. So, this was a big step up, both in quality and in price. I really brought the vinyl to life. I don't have any desire to look further. i am now amazed at the ability of vinyl to sound like real music with the right equipment. Like you I mostly enjoy jazz (straight-ahead, some bop, some traditional), classical and some rock. The vinyl still sounds better than any digital based source I have yet had, but the digital is getting better. I don't mind the effort to put records on. I have a great used record store and make regular trips there. All the best.
Tgrisham, I too have just added a graham slee to my phono section and am amazed! Just wandted to get your reacation to that and what else out there you compared to the GSlee? I have the music hall 5.1 and am very happy to sit back and spin numerous vinyl from my collection. Peace!
System edited: Added the Mac Mini as a server feeding the PS Audio DLIII. It also passes through a M2Tech Hiface DAC to spdif interface to pass a coaxial signal to the DAC> Great sound!
System edited: Finally added a computer based music server with the G4 as a hub, hard discs as the source and Apple Airport Express receivers in each of the other systems.
I have not noticed any sympathetic vibrations from them. I realized that it might be an issue but so far so good. Mentally, I like seeing them. Since my son has stopped playing the violin (I hope just temporarily) I would like to put it up as well. I actually thought the grand piano behind me would be a problem, but I have not noticed it yet. I have done frequency sweeps listening for vibrations, but haven't found any. I like having them there in view while I listen to music. So much of the enjoyment of this is psychological anyway. I am going to post a new picture soon, showing the addition of a Mac music server. Thanks for the compliment!
