Started the hifi game in the seventies while in 8th grade with David Hafler amp and preamp kits, Allison four speakers and a dual turntable. This is my main system. Man cave in basement for record storage and second system, Eico hf-81, garrard 301/klipsch la Scalia. Will post soon. Still 100 %vinyl.
I love your system and am equally intrigued with your kitchen. I live in an 1898 house and have toyed with a similar ceiling treatment in the kitchen. Did you sand it then seal it?
