Here's a couple of pics of my system. This is my first McIntosh system, and I did some research on what I wanted to drive. I've been getting back into LP's and wanted a Mac to listen to them.

Next I have to get the MPI-4 up. I'm going to build a rack similar to Berners but minus the CD holder and with some other variations.

Very nice!--can you list the components (though I could make educated guesses)?

I'm with you, but I'll take a swing at it.

C-32, MC-2300, MCD-7007 and MR-78. The TT is a Thorens, a TD-166 maybe?

The endcaps on the CD player are extruded aluminum, the 7005 had polished metal, I think. The amp is of the industrial design and doesn't have Power Guard. The tuner has the selectivity stuff on the left.

Oh enough said, it looks like my stuff. I could be wrong on the preamp.

Great system, and good luck on the MPI-4! I need to send mine to Terry someday.

Right on Mike - you're on point on all the components.

MC-2300
C-32
MR-78
MCD-7007

The TT is a Thorens TD-160 with a Shure M97xE cart tracking @ 1.25g with the brush down.

The speakers are B&W Nautilus 805's and B&W CMD 7SE running in series @ 16 ohms.

p.s. Anyone know the LP in the left bottom corner! :yes:

Missed on the Thorens model, but the album is Atom, Heart, Mother by Pink Floyd.

Strangely enough, I've never heard it.

Very nice system. One of my wish is to collect one full system like that (the panloc and cabinet vintage). Congrats !!

Glad to see a Floyd fan, seen them live in 87, and 94. Great system.
Am getting back into Lp's. Got a original Dark Side for 7.98 last week.

Floyd & Mac, there's a win-win situation. :) Nice system you have there.
