Jud Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 My apologies Barry ... looking back at the video I realise I am looking at the microphones (and baffle) you described (Mani was correct). (Just trying to learn a little more here and embarrassed myself completely) Eloise I must admit to a smile as I pictured you looking at the video and thinking "Wait a minnit, wot's that big effin' mic in the middle that no one's counting??" (Please consider yourself entitled to a good measure of laughter at my expense the next time - quite soon, I'm sure - I inevitably screw up publicly here. ) One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. - Einstein Computer, Audirvana -> optical Ethernet to Fitlet3 -> Fibbr Alpha Optical USB -> iFi NEO iDSD DAC -> Apollon Audio 1ET400A Mini (Purifi based) -> Vandersteen 3A Signature.

Jabs1542 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Where did you get the shelves for the LPs? I like the dividers they have. Nice rig, can you tell us what all of it is? I can make out a few of the units, do you still use the tape deck (looks like I see a Nakamichi in there, maybe a BX series)?
