Description

We moved into this home in April 2020 and this is the latest iteration of our den/listening room. The space is starting to feel cozy and we're very please with the sound. I also finally got all the art on the walls.

New adds this year:
DeVore Gibbon Super 8s, Heed X-2, vintage Meridian 206ΔΣ, lava lamp, and custom rack (solid mahogany).

Great to know. Thank you! I will reach out to you for more info - it might be a couple months before I do. I'm in the info gathering stage while I get funds together for the next set of upgrades, which includes a rack.

I'd love to hear the O/Baby's. I considered them for a second system and opted against them for now.

Cheers from Maine.

I suspected it might be a custom piece. It's absolutely gorgeous - really my ideal for an equipment rack, so I was crossing my fingers it might be an option available to me. Being on the East Coast, it's probably not terribly practical.

Enjoy that gorgeous system - love those DeVore's, too! And thank you for the info!

Beautiful system, beautiful room!

May I ask for some details on your equipment rack? Is that a commercially available rack or one you had custom made?
