Post Your Home Cine & HiFi Kit...

Oh they couldn't book a survey date yet because I still owed the rest of the 15% deposit, waiting to get the bill via Email.

Coming soon in August:



The left of the Window is only 74cm wide, so any TV needs to go diagonally and its not wide enough for a second double cabinet / put TV in front of Window (eww). Not sure how to diagonally mount one, does anyone know?

Hmmm, going to have to consider whether to get doors on the cabinet, or just open shelves, no doors would cost less.

Oh something like this in the corner, I wonder if the furniture company can make a diagonal thing like this:

And you have all the cables hidden down the back.

All their media centre pics show normal horizontally mounted stuff so I don't know if they can make a bespoke diagonal one.

Wow, there's a blast from the past I used to have an A77 as well. Only beaten by the B77 really, which i never owned.

Wow, this Denon DL110 MC cartridge is another level from the Shure. I can see why it's recommended as a good pairing with the TP16 arm, big upgrade.

Listening to Apparat's The Devil's Walk. Lovely. Now I just need my damn rack so I can get it all setup and isolated properly.

Nice, I will be looking carts and arms in future. Still waiting for the belt and oil, although I've tested the bearing and it's silky smooth and silent still.

Plinth arrived, it's really nicely made and finished, better than I was expecting tbh. From a guy in Spain on Etsy called woodosound.

Mine has started the dreaded "knock"

New 7581A valves glowing rather nicely in my valve amps.

I need to figure out how I'm ever going to afford a sofa and TV on top of my cabinets and new carpets though.

Well I could in another year, dont think I will get it all done by the end of this year anymore.

Why would you put a sofa on top of a cabinet?

 

[Yaayuh!]

Just upgraded my TV to a Samsung Q80T 55 inch. Replaced a 10 Yr old Samsung 7 series 3D 46 inch.

Next up is replacing my Pioneer VSX930 amp and speaker setup. Looking to invest in a Q70T soundbar and then wall mount the TV and bar. Just moved house so will be a few months off yet.

Very nice.

^ What he said.

That pelmet lighting is nice, if my room was bigger I'd have a go at something like that.

That's my Monitor Audio Gold rears, sub and centre sold along with my AV amp. Bit gutted but they would be ridiculously overkill in the new living room. I've gone the Sonos route and the Arc is hugely impressive for a sound bar. Just have to wait for the sub to be delivered now to complete the 5.1 as I already had a pair of unused Play 1's.

Very jealous of all the projector setups. I’ve been rocking a Sony x900e with two HomePods in stereo pair. Once I get more space I think I’m going to try for a projector setup

Nice job @Ron-ski looks mint

My personal rig space has pulled double duty for working from home since the start of the pandemic last year. Work asked for a photo of me working from home for a newsletter so it will have to do for showing you lot my setup since its not normally this tidy

While not the kind of home cinema setup that most of you have posted this one still kicks hard when I'm in the mood.
Fronts are B&W DM601 S3's that I've had since new - 20 years and pretty much in as new condition.
Center is a B&W HTM62 that I picked up off free ads 10 years ago.
Rear channels are the satellites from my old Logitech Z5500 set which also provides the sub.
All connected to my bargain of the century - a Pioneer SC-LX72 receiver which at £100 4 years ago now feels like I robbed the guy!

I've got a home demo lined up for some ATC SCM11's and an REL T5x subwoofer next month, can't wait! Having never listened to a proper hifi/home theater sub in isolation I am really curious to hear how it stacks up against the logitech. The Z5500 still carries a reputation for going loud, which it does, but I've always had the feeling that its a bit of a one trick pony and that I'm missing out on precision and impact. I guess I will be able to answer that once and for all in a few weeks.

Posted this in Images of items I have purchased (except trainers)

Tidied cables up and double checked settings of cart/tonearm.

The cable KEF supply (RJ45) to connect speakers together is comically short. Used a spare 5m I had spare and tucked them down the inside of the stands.

Had plenty of turntables over the years and modified a few of them, but this Rega is on another level and it's my first Rega too. Been told the Apheta 3 needs 50-100 hours to break in before it opens up, sounds great at the mo to be fair!
