Hello again to those I know. For the last 15mths I have been in the process of building a new house at Mangawhai Heads after moving from Chch. 3mths in a tent while I built a cabin in order to survive the winter. And last week I started "moving in". On Saturday I set up my complete system for the 1st time in 2.5yrs. I am amazed I could remember how to connect all the parts - especially the digital side. Even more surprising was that it all worked!

The room is not ideal and a compromise in the musical sense in many ways but is performing as well as I might have hoped. Polished concrete floors, no curtains yet and trying to make it livable and enjoyable from all aspects, including being able to enjoy the views, has impacted a bit.

Any suggestions will be gratefully received and may even be trialled.

Hi,

Looks like a decent size room and you have the enviable sloping roof, great for sonics!

Any chance you can put the TT were the laptop and nixie clock(?) is? Or are the speaker cables not long enough?

Hello,

You'll have to remind forgetful readers what's in the system...

I see a Garrard 301, LFD phono + amp, Living Voice speakers ?

Very good Michael. It's one of Tony's 301's with a 12" The Wand with a DV Te Kaitora Rua cart into an LFD MCT SE phono and the LFD NCSE Mk2 integrated to the Living Voice OBX-RW speakers. The digital stuff is ased around a dac by Colinf and the SOtM sms 200 ultra network player with a couple of power supplies.

Gosh, I had to check almost all of that!

The speaker cables are fairly short so no. They are made from solid core LFD wire. I also had 2 exclusive circuits, one with 4mm wire put in that wall for all the gear.

The room is 7.2 long by 4.8 wide with a kitchen area off to the right of where the camera was.

How's the room sounding now?

Need to offload any fountain pens to fund more records?
