Hey Brian. Dropped by to check out your place. Looks very comfy! Great to see the Jelco 850 and Nobby springs in use. If I may: new speakers might be next.

Welcome to the basement dwellers club! And I agree. An undamped concrete basement is a lot more controlled that they think. Mine plays out into the space perfectly.

They're so fancy, I figured they were wood! I use a less elegant version of concrete on mine.

Love the concrete speaker stands. Very smart. I use concrete blocks for turntable support.
