An Architect's Music Room

The music room took a lot of love and 10 years of planning/design to build. Now it is finally there (well almost). Here are some initial pictures of the analog shrine. Hopefully I can now continue my harmless indulgence in good music and share it with my little daughter as she grows up.

New updates in 2016-17 with new McIntosh C50 preamp and MVP891 SACD player, sweet sounding BMC M2 monoblocks, Primaluna Dialogue Seven monoblocks and a beautiful Transrotor Leonardo Doppio turntable. Latest addition to top it off is a pair of the magnificent Focal Utopia Scala speakers in a warm gray finish.

Hi there... The clear dust cover were custom made several years back for another set of tube amps. They just happen to fit the PrimaLunas perfectly. Sorry don't have the manufacturer details.

Hi... We live in Southern California. Ours was built in 1952 by a fairly well known local MCM architect, Paul Tay. A lot of work has gone into this house over the last 10 yrs of ownership. Previous owner didn't care for the style of architecture, unfortunately. Thanks for your very kind comments!
