New listening room
 
After 13 years of having my HiFi stuffed in the middle room of the house, we have finally had a move around and I managed to get the end room with new furniture and stuff.
Think it looks good and so far I think it sounds better too :D

First picture shows the new listening couch, LP holders and lamp, plus foot stool (for big feet...)

Second picture shows the rig on its new/old rack (made the rack many years ago but never got to use it properly - not 100% happy with it so might change it down the line)

Now you have to list the gear! What's in the stack?

I can see the obvious error there, can everyone else? (hint: seating)

:) OK - starting from the top:

Michell Orbe turntable with an AudioNote Arm 1 V2 and Goldring Elite MC cartridge.
Michell PSU and Cairn Boost MM/MC phono stage
Myryard headphone and pre amp
Philips DCC 700 cassette player
Under the Ferrari cap is a Raspberry PI with IQAudio DAC Pro doing the streaming and Spotify duties.
PureSound Valve amp and Reiver Jenna speakers.

Hope that helps.

Nice, very nice. lovely kit. I keep buying too much kit to fit in one room, so my hifi is currently spread across three different rooms - and with too much kit to list.

Interesting to see that the Raspberry Pi is doing Spotify duties - I use (multiple!) Gramofons connected to the various amps in different rooms for that.

I was thinking lack of beer fridge, but that's not seating related. Should seats be S8 Recaros:ROFL:

Oh and nice set up Andy+++

Many years ago I had a pair of A8 front seats in the house (and powered).
But, due to size ended up giving them away so I have been there and done that:

I know, that's why I made my comment! :tuttut:

So who bought them, Stephen (Tintin) or Roberto?
