Hi everyone!

I like to see pictures of others hifi and room.
It is very difficult to find pictures here, the only one i have found is some nice pictures from Juan. (and Peters backhead)

Please post pictures :-)


Tore

Hey Tore!, Nice room and system, must sound terrific.

(and of course BIG pictures ;-)

Best regards,
Juan

PS, you can use this little software to resize your photos to e.g. 1280x768: http://www.avs4you.com/AVS-Image-Converter.aspx (http://www.avs4you.com/AVS-Image-Converter.aspx)

I need to clean up my space first but then I'll shoot a few to post here...  :yes:

Bert

Hi Tore,
nice proposal. Here are a couple from me.
Maxi

I place my pictures here as it is the appropriate place.

Thanks Tore for the excellent idea.

As can be seen (more or less) I have two places from where I listen music, while I´m working in my computer I´m seated behind the sofa at the table and if I´m just listening I choose the sofa. From both places I´m in the middle of the speakers and the sound is a bit different but equally good.

Juan

 It's not possible to clean up my space  ;), so I will not post a picture here. 
Cheers,
Georg

Well, as we're sharing...

I've recently set up a small 'studio' in my basement for my vinyl digitization project and taken most of my equipment down there. This leaves my listening room nice and clean... for photo opportunities!

(Incidentally, the speakers are much bigger in reality than they look in the photo. The room itself is 4m wide.)

The only thing missing is a NOS1.  :(

Hi,

A picture of my set up. My room size is 8.5mx5.7x2.6

Best regards,

Arvind

What I love about all these photos is that I can prove to my wife that I'm not all that crazy after all and that she should be happy with my positively moderate approach to this hobby.

Thanks guys!

Mani.

Hi Arvind,
Cool! It's like a HiFi Showroom. And you have even a Gyrodec. I sold mine more than 20 years ago and you made me feel nostalgic. :cry:

Maxi

Arvind, great system!. I see that you keep the EMM Labs player and also a Theta digital (not sure), I wonder if you are still using them once in a while.

Juan

Hi Maxi/Juan,

Once in a while I listen to vinyl so I have kept the Gyrodec. Haven't been able to get down to digitising the vinyl's as yet. Too cumbersome to use vinyl on a regular basis.

I actually wanted to sell the EMM gear but the price is so ridiculous that I thought might as well keep them. I play it for a short while every Sunday to keep them in running condition. The Theta Compli is only for DVD.

Thanks for the encouragement.

Best regards,

Arvind

Hello everyone! Sending my pics, thanx for asking :)

closer look 1

closer look 2

Sergero, nice !

But funny; Looking at this I recall that in my previous house I wanted to change the positions of the furniture but whatever I wanted to change, it could only end up with the speakers positioned like yours. And although there was nothing wrong with the sound, my brain couldn't cope with such a position. Somehow, for me, speakers need to be in parallel to a wall.

Regards,
Peter

Well yes....its kinda compromise between me and my wife cause she also has her own furniture in this room:)
Regards,
Sergei

I understand. But disallow her that furniture and solve two problems at the same time. Maybe three !
:seeyou:

How big is that mess actually ? :innocent:
Comon man. The fact that I can't listen to your speakies anymore shouldn't prohibit from looking at them !

Photo of main system attached (lacking a Phasure DAC, sadly).   :(

Jud hi,

Is that a linn lp12 record deck peaking out from behind the tv ?

Nick.

No, but good eyes.  It's a nearly 30-year-old Linn knockoff, a Systemdek IIX.  Not bad in its own right at its reasonably low price for the time, but no Linn.

Sorry for the blurry shot, it was taken with my iPhone.

The digital-related part of the main system is as follows:

WD MyBook FW -> MacBook Pro w/SSD -> Mapleshade Clearlink USB -> Schiit Bifrost -> Spectral DMC-12 & DMA-150 -> Vandersteen 2Ce. Other cabling and power strip Omega Mikro/Mapleshade. Also MIT Z-Stabilizer.

You have no idea! Patience... or come over and enjoy in silence?  :)

Bert

As promised...  ;)

Total room dimensions are 8,1m x 4,1m x 2,9m (depth x width x height).

The part behind the speakers is used as entrance, storage, my office, the kitchen and my own toilet!  8)

Bert

Seems you are (s)winging your room  :grin:

Georg

I would like to put myself forward for the "minimalists" award. OK I suppose I could get rid of the Christmas tree but that would not help domestic harmony.

Christmas Cheers to all

Very nice Paul.

Wonder how you can conceal the speaker cables!

Merry Christmas to all too!
Praphan

Photoshop ! :toomuch:

 :rofl: :rofl:

 :yahoo: :yahoo:

Yeah, right. It is quite easy to erase those tiny "Anticable" wires from the photo.

Peter, did you take this second photo from somewhere in this forum? Haven seen it before.

Cheers!

Praphan - No, it is the same photo, but I photoshopped it.

Ok ok ...
It was taken from the GainGlone Heaven topic.

Bert -

Please tell me the toilet is tucked away somewhere I cannot see (i.e., that you do not use as a toilet the part of the picture I *can* see). :o

No worries, all is clean and fresh in my studio.

Bert

Indeed, that is exactly what is happening here... 8)

Bert

Ha ha I've been photoshopped!!!

Speaker wire runs in pipe under the floor !!!
