Dedicated Music Room

[signs]

I've recently moved house ( 10 weeks ago) and along with a planned new kitchen and cinema room thought I would make a dedicated music room , the progress so far .........

( the fire is electric so no heat )











and the record storage is Ikea Kallax built into a stud wall

 

[Mr_Sukebe]

Have you already done the sound cladding on the walls?

Don’t need it !! I live on my own now and it’s a detached house

 

[Mr_Sukebe]

It's not to prevent sound bleed, rather to reduce sound reflection and enhance room node damping.

You'd be shocked at the difference proper sound treating can make for a listening room.

@Mr_Sukebe is quite right.

Looks great but surely the fire produces a fair bit of heat?

hi sorry for the slow reply

The TT is a 1972 Thorens TD160 (absolutely love it!)

the speakers are Bowen and Wilkins 603

The amp is a low budget Onkyo 910 (will be replaced with a Rotel Ra 12)

Marantz CD and tape players

Very nice mate... very very nice... can imagine that turn table being worth a little bit now... sweet as. And those speakers, very nice, a friend of mine has B&W and swears by them, never owned but I know those you've got get race reviews! Nice setup that is old school and new school!

I was going to say, that TT deserves a better amp!

I'm thinking about placement of my gear in the new living room, but so need the TV up on the wall first.

Think I am going to custom build the record storage and amp/TT placing.

Great room. I think I would have spent a bit on room treatment if I had the luxury of a dedicated hifi room though.

Love the TD160, I had one many moons ago. Needs a bit of tweaking and set up but a very capable turntable.

thanks fellas

regarding room treatment it unfortunately has a suspended floor so i'd be stuffed anyway , but if i'm honest it sounds good as it is

 

[Gray2233]

It looks absolutely spot on tbh, there's nothing quite like selecting a bit of vinyl to play and sitting down in a comfy chair with a glass of something strong in a proper music room.
