Description

Multi-purpose man-cave.  Time is spent equally watching movies, listening to music, or reading.  A midlife crisis got me involved in prop collecting, which enhances the theatrical nature of the dedicated space.   

Other gear: 128" Stewart CinemaScope Luxus Deluxe filmscreen, Panasonic PT-AE4000U projector, Parasound Zhd HDMI switch, VTI BL404 stands, GEM Dandy record cleaner, Sennheiser HD 598SE headphones, movie poster light boxes by LED Posterboy.

Retired components: ARC SP9 mk II, Nakamichi Dragon, Thiel CS2, Pioneer BDP-09FD

Forecasted upgrades: OPPO UDP-203, 4K projector, Classé Sigma SSP
