Redboy's setup from the audio underground
I'm trying to figure out how to summarize this stuff.
My system changes a lot because I'm ever distracted by shiny pennies, but some underlying themes exist:
My system's just a little bit off the beaten path. Flea-powered tube amplifiers producing just a few good watts, esoteric DIY stuff, idler turntables, giant horns. I listen at low volume, prefer jazz at this point. The stuff (click through for threads with more pictures and information): Vinyl stuff Skele-208:  Phonostage is a Herron VTPH-1MC or a Bottlehead Seduction with step up transformers. Preamp is a passive job, built around S&B TX-102 transformers: Amplifiers are single ended EL84 monoblocks that I built.  Speakers are based on Edgarhorns.  Here are the best pictures of how it currently all comes together. When I brought the speakers in, I had to rearrange the room kind of radically and everything got stacked on whatever was convenient. I still haven't found a good solution for the stack - I'm still looking for a good "stand" or rack for it all. Oh, and the giant rack thingy that you see on the right side of the second picture is no longer there.

Absolutely beautiful setup. I'd really like to hear it.

Very nice. Is there a write up on the amps somewhere?

Here's another picture of the turntable. The tonearm is a 12" Thomas Schick, and I'm currently running a Denon DL-103 cartridge on it.

What a lovely system, and an inviting room you have.
I like the cupbord/shelf running around the room, good for breaking up reflections. Nice pussy. I would love to hear it all. Cheers, Timo.
