Description

We're currently living with the in-laws so at least I have a room but it couldn't get much worse. It's in the middle of the house, one full wall the rest are either open or riddled with entry ways. So no quiet environment or accustics what so ever. I'm using this time in exile to upgrade what I can and remember the 'good old days' of living in an apt. and having a rectangular/semi-enclosed room. Any comments/advice good or bad is welcomed. thanks

So have you been listening more now after using the statement with the denon? What cd did you use when you switched the cables? See you soon bro.

Cool new pics. I like the dedicated "stands" for the juice bar and U.O. Although you should of shot some new ones of the rack as a whole, so we could see all of our gorgeous shelves at once. Cant wait until your all back to Washington and the systems can be combined. Nice work bro!

So hows the Statement?

jlind325is

Very classy bro. i think that color will compliment the end caps well when you finally finish them. I cant beleive how long ago i made those, i think i was a junior in high school. did you use a spray on poly or did you brush it on? i think this weekend i will start my secondary rack although i would like to get the samson rack. maybe i should just pony up and do it? but then again i would like to get an integrated amp with that money. later

Right on!! Thats cool that she noticed a difference, she is an aspiring audiophile who just wont admit it. lol. Are you getting the tripe points used? i am considering getting some triple points as well and then move the surefeet to under the UPC. Isnt it a nice feeling when the plug "locks" into the outlet. kachunk, its not going anywhere. As i posted on my thread i moved the vons and reput the spikes in. As of right now i am just enjoying the music. I still want to get rid of the NAD soon but what i am hearing now is letting that be no big priority. im swinging by the audio shop today, who knows what he might let me demo this weekend. later

Is there a cd hiding under your vcr?

jlind325is

damn that s-video cable is big!!! you totally got to find a better way of supporting the cable, the cup just dosent cut it! lol. Although i shouldnt be talking with scrap wood supporting my power cables. It looks like you rearranged some things since i was down? wasnt your rack on the outside, or im i just thinking of seattle? and the chair to the right wasnt there if i am remembering right. it sure is nice see that gear again, oh those vr3s. good times man good times.

Mdhoover-

Your post didnt come off unsympathetuc at all. Not even close. I was just agreeing with J_Green that his room IS hell in my opinion. From what i have read of your numerous posts you know what you are talking about and have given good advice, keep it up. We all appreciate it. I am a novice and if you have any advice for my set up i would be glad to hear it. thanks Justin

Mdhoover-

I have heard J_Greens room and it almost brought a tear to my eye. His system is what got me into this hobby, or should i say this addiction. to hear it in this state(room hell) was sadening. everthing i loved about how it sounded no longer existed. Hang in there bro!! there is sound at the end of the tunnel! Justin

jlind325is

hey you posted!!! right on. I like the title. You going to post pics soon? i miss being able to hear those VR3's every couple of weeks. Soon enough you all will be up here and we will decide whos sounds the best!!! When the UO coming in?
