LS360s w/MA6500 amp & MVP861 disc player. I've since replaced the speaker grilles since it turns out the Bessel Tweeter Arrays depend on directional flanges integral to the grilles.

Looks like a wall of books, but I've done the unthinkable and put bookshelf speakers in a bookshelf! Upper are Teac Concentrics and Lower are Wharfedale Diamond 220s. This is more about fun than anything else, as it's in the same room as the big Mac speakers

MA6500

MC162 + MAC-3

Accuphase E-212 Integrated

Accuphase E-212

Cover came off only b/c I had the pleasure of replacing one of the pilot lights! Soldered in, of course. But the thing is built like a tank, that's for sure. Seductive brand, no denying.

'Exotic' Corner of Main Listening Room. At least the speakers here are in use--as rear reverb. They're on a 12ms delay. Polk RTiA7s with socks stuffed in their ports. The Zenith is from 1936 and actually works, but of course I don't listen to it. I may rig up some LEDs for its neato dial though. (Done now; photo forthcoming.) What's exotic here? The WAF sound-diffusing panels (the carved woodwork imported from Burma), Italian marble flooring, and the lantern which I found in Istanbul.

DENON POA-1500 and boy is it cool!

DENON Innards

Yamaha/Rotel/Hitachi + Phillips Speakers

A Maggie Corner. Yeah I know Maggies shouldn't go in corners.

An old attempt at piecing together a view of the (separate) MLR. It's changed a lot since then, so maybe I'll find a fisheye lens or something and give this space its own page. The ceiling isn't even visible here--it's a beamed, cathedral ceiling sloping up to about 22ft high. Not only has a lot of the equipment changed since this photo was taken, but I've really gotten into neon and have quite a selection. Don't ask me why, 'cause I don't know!

ADS Speakers Custom Rebuild

Veneer Figure Continuity = Attention to Detail

Although technically vintage, the rebuilt ADS speakers are among the best-sounding speakers I own.

Fun little MC754 which I loved but have now sold!

Infinity Kappa 6.1 S2 .. need to figure out where to use them. These are actually my favorite Kappas. The S2 have the front ports and they are three-way which means you don't have a xover in the midrange. Instead you have a midrange driver and in this case it's the legendary Kappa Polydome.

Jolida FX10

Looking for a Line Magnetic now, advice welcome

Fooling around with Monoprice bookshelf speakers

Replaced black grilles with Fender cloth, and painted the lattice with hammered-copper effect

AKAI AM-2800

Re-living my teenage years

It's a miracle when I have less than 124v

TEAC AI-501DA Integrated--And what a sweet little amp it is...

Brand new addition to the collection: THORENS and I have only just begun playing with it and dressing it up. It's going to hook up with a tube amp for all-vintage listening.

Some detail shots of the MA6500 case--I had the case for the MVP861 made by the same woodcrafter

Figure continuity again

Cabinet crafting details

Yamaha pieces. went in the bedroom system with DefTech and Polk speakers. Everyone likes to go slumming sometimes :)

Yaqin Hybrid Amplifier

Way too many amps around here! This one may go soon. But it's a surprisingly sweet-sounding piece delivering a real sense of warmth and intimacy. More proof that you don't have to pay up for big names to get good sound.

New Addition (November 2019) Stromberg-Carlson ASR-120

It's a resto-mod and I'm going to hook it up with my Thorens TT and the ADS speakers
