Post Your Home Cine & HiFi Kit...

He's posted some sort of indication that he actually owns it though :cry:

All you've done is waffle about having loads of expensive gear in this forum, whilst boasting you deliberately earn less than the threshold to pay tax in GD - it's no wonder people think you're a spoofer.

I’m not even sure he’s commented on expensive kit, just some mid-range subs. He also seems to believe that annoying the neighbours is more important than transparency, control, soundstage, musical detail or similar, implying that the rest of his kit is some RS budget special.
 
Laser Projector? If so how do you like it?

I could be mistaken and it’s a poorly placed inkjet :D

Hmm.. not sure which bit you're referring to? I've got a normal projector, Epson 9400, above where that photo is taken from.

Hornetstinger, you mean like this, with subwoofer no. 3 in the back right corner. Two are here in the pic, the old SVS sb12 replaced with a BK monolith+ couple of weeks ago -

My bad, I meant what is obviously (on reflection!) your centre speaker
 
Updated pic of one corner of the room with the majority of the electronics:

The speakers have just been given replacement crossovers. The speakers were built over 25 years ago, and I assume the caps were drying/dried out. The replacement offboard crossovers are in the wooden box on the rack (one per speaker) and have made massive difference to the the low level detail.
Oh, look, no 15" subs...

15" subs are old hat ;-)

 
I've had a few updates to my system over the last month or so, a new amp and another power supply. So thought i would post pics here.
I know there is one member here that is very averse to posting pics of his system, so maybe this might tempt him :D

Only 2 changes, my Nait xs2 for a supernait 2 and the addition of a hicap dr.

System now is:
Spendor A9 speakers
Airlink 3kva balanced power supply
Naim Flatcap xs
Naim Hicap DR
Naim Supernait 2
Naim Cd5 XS
Michell Orbe SE
SME V arm
Dynovector P75 Mk3 phono stage
Dynovector DV20 X2L cartridge
 
My 75” Mini LED after 13 months started having flickering issues. Costco decided it was uneconomical to repair so I opted for a full refund and now have dropped back down to 65” with a C3 OLED. The picture quality is stunning really happy with it…



Missing something, can you tell

@Mr_Sukebe First let me preface this I have enjoyed reading your audio related posts over the years. Now to reply your post. When He first appeared on these forums after being banned from the AV forums he use to recommend Boulder equipment. But the rabbit hole goes much much deeper than that. Here are some notable discussions that you may/may not be aware of in relation to Mr Stinger.

When question about his claim about audio equipment claimed to have A degree in Sound engineering. But then promptly followed up about sound treatment panels and the price of them and didn't know how to work out his room first and second order reflections to place the panels.

Claimed Rel knew nothing about subwoofers and then proceeded to get into a long winded discussion with Lucid about it.

Posted pics of his speakers but they were actually plagarised from a for sale thread I recognised. When asked to explain he posted another post showing dual subwoofer setup but again was someone else setup. Never has posted his actual setup. His defence was that he never claimed it was his. But then again why would you post a pic of another person setup unless it was discuss it merits or what was in it.

Recommends Boulder, Dual subs setups, Speaker setups over 10k then post in GD about paying tax. If you can't afford your tax bracket then you can't afford anything you recommend. He can be helpful when he chooses to be but usually posts about silly stuff he has no real world experience of. And he has been like that since he got here and carried it on ever since.

I doubt he has ever had the pleasure of say something like a DCS setup or Burmester and a whole other list of esoteric brands. Sure there are diminishing returns at the high end but once you find that right setup the cost is inconsequential. Everyone has their dream or endgame setup whatever it may be in whatever price bracket even Mr. Stinger. But rather than have discussions with fellow hi fi enthusiasts allowing 2 way dialogue it usually ends up with him recommending something they don't need or can't afford and 9 times out of 10 nothing to do what they posted about.
