Thanks Jim. I'm still tweaking so I may do that. I'm going to add a switch to flip between power supplies. I may also replace old PIO caps.

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.

Nice. How do you get to the LP12 with all the gear in front of it?

The rig deserves a 1200G and a better rack.

Nice space. I'd strongly recommend removing the acoustic foam though. It sounds bad. I've been there and someone pointed out the bad news. I did some tests and yes, it distorted the sound. Use GIA ...

Interesting monoblock setup with the fans! A friend had active Acoustats back in the 80s.

Impressive build and attention to detail. Interesting to see you have/had springs under your amps. I've started using them to good effect.

Added a Samsung 65" 4k TV to the second system. Why have I waited so long? This may seriously challenge the vinyl experience!

Ah, I see. Makes sense. I've a 25R with some DIY mods - 4 x bulk foil input resistors in the input circuit, and main HT electrolytic cap replaced with a Clarity Cap. Big upgrade. I also use these t...

Looks a million bucks. I had to read the note to realize it was an average room, transformed.

Nice and well put together. Have you tried pulling the speakers out about 3-4 feet into the room? It'll improve imagining.

Hi Anthony. Thanks. My walnut later model 401 neon works. It needs the 110v bulb. The original won't strike at 110v. My slate early 401 neon is disconnected for better(?) sound.
