No tunes for nearly a month is driving me nuts !

Set up my new rack and the new CDP until the TV is mounted and the rest of the room is done.

For those that think I'm seriously ditching my TT you may want to read a bit about me first :banana:

Oh well least I have music spinning. :music:

This might sound crazy, but f you gave me one of those, I would sell it immediately, and buy more another turntable.

That table isn't going anywhere with the Melody sitting on it! I head that thru the Cain & Cains last year and it sure sounded good.....for a cd player :)
Congrats! :music:

You went a month without tunes? Are you OK? We could get you some counseling or something.

Nice rig, BTW.

I think he missed this one.

That is a tapestry, and a rather cool looking piece.

I caught him in chat and asked him... It is really cool looking.. much better than my Dead tapestry, in all brown tie die, and my brown Kokopellie tapestry..

The colors is what really caught our attention..

Looking at it.. it almost looks like a floor cloth.. or on canvas

Sweet looking rig Dave!

If you ever get tired of either of those old analog thingies...I've got dibs :D

Nice digital there. However, An Ipod in a dock would take up less room. Oh, and I called up an old buddy of mine who is pushing up daisies...... He said that yes, Hell has frozen over and there are lots of flying pigs.

That's a fine looking setup....regardless of how the music is played!

Enjoy, good sir!

Darn VH, I was gonna offer him an Ipod so he can really be in today's groove.

Dave that setup looks fantastic. The contrasting woods look nice together.

It does look nice the way it is but its all temporary until my TV is mounted where the tapestry above is. Then The amps will probably move down one shelf and the Melody DCP will move to one side to make room for my Sota Table.

The real nice thing about this setup is I can use much shorter Speaker cables then in the past.

Thanks for the kind words.

Great-looking setup, including the turntables you're not currently using. Particularly the Marantz TT looks fantastic.

Dave,
How do you like your preamp? JuicyMusic right? Great looking setup, I bet it sounds fantastic.

AH would that technically be "Welcome to the shinny silver side?

Being the Digital world is for the most part on shinny silver things and the vinyl side is BLACK.


You poor confused educator.
