Bob, how do you like the Ragnarok?

[bobbmd]

@AudioDoctor love it it’s ‘just the amp’ I run the 2 changers via RCAs through it as well as the meridian DAC—the Yggy GS is far superior DAC though and my TV is via optical out through the Yggy—sound is for everything is to die for by the Legacy speakers ie separation bass etc in my strange living room dimensions— what makes it also so cool for me are the pictures eh?

Very nice from all and gives me motivation to complete my new room even quicker. It's moving along as fast as I can carry the 5/8ths sheetrock upstairs, and hang the 2 layers on the studs. Lots of ideas from all the pictures. Keep them coming. Cabinets ordered, mini fridge picked out, as well as the crown molding and other items to complete the build.

Hi,

 

Here is mine in my new house :

 

1 PC with RME pro soundcard, a linear power supply, a NAS with Flac files, JRiver, JRemote, and a pair of Kii three.

if they’re genuine/ originals, then those 3 chairs might be worth more than everything else 😂

The sign @Udayan uses some common sense..

In eg my case my cables are usually worth more than my car 😁

Is it correct that you own only one bicycle? (Edit)

No. I have 4 city bikes and 1 MTB (which obviously is worth more than my car 😎 but still cheaper than the cables 😁).

The previous GIK quadratic diffusers started to come apart (damn cheap, factory-installed sawtooth hangers screwed into MDF), so I removed them before they came crashing down on my gear.  Suddenly, the sound was more alive and lively, which I liked.  My gear has changed since I hung the diffusers years ago and the difference was quite apparent (the Grimm and Shunyata, new additions, are hidden in the cabinet).  

 

I enjoy a listening room that is also a place where I can also read and relax without music.  And a place that I can share music with my wife.  With an open architecture, the system can be enjoyed from other rooms, which always lead to interesting perspectives on the setup.  My wife says the best sound is in the family room, which is on the other side of the back wall (which is open at the top).  It is true that there is less detail at that location, but all the room reflections are resolved.  That inspired me to try to use absorber/diffuser panels to achieve similar results. Still listening, but preliminary results are that it is getting closer.  In the meantime, emotional connection to the music is easily achieved with a wide variety of music served via Roon/Qobuz.  The four panels are Vicoustic absorber/diffusers.

Beautiful system.

 

May I know if you are using the Tambaqui as a preamp?

Thank you.   Yes, I use the Tambaqui's volume control (basically, it attenuates the DAC output).  The only input is digital via AES/EBU from the Grimm MU1.   Since the Tambaqui was designed using the Mola Mola amps (Kaluga), there is no impedance mismatch.

System consists of Devialet Expert 220 Pro and ML Electromotion ESL X -speakers. Sources vary from cd and Roon to BD and PS5. Very often these Days I find myself streaming Concerts and watching Musicals and opera.

beautiful, relaxing space.  just right for listening.  Bamboo floors?

[jparvio]

Thanks!

 

The Floor is made of Finnish Birch. Here in Scandinavia it is easily available whereas bamboo isn't.

Not nearly so fancy as some others here, but I like my home theater-focused system:

 

Screen Innovations Pro 16:9 150" screen

Epson Pro Cinema 6050UB projector

Denon 3700h receiver

Anthem MCA325 (separate amp for LCR channels)

Revel F208 / C208 speakers (with corresponding surrounds to complete Atmos setup)

2xJL Audio f110 subwoofers

AppleTV 4k

Audio-Technica AT-LP5x turntable

 

 

Yes, it sounds lovely for music, as well ;) Particularly enjoying ever more increasingly available Atmos / full surround content.

Oh, yeah.

 

I watch a lot of British / ANZ TV (via BritBox or Acorn TV), but also love watching live concerts from the Berlin Philharmonic, Live in HD from the Met (don't qualify to watch the live broadcasts, but typically watch them a couple months later via streaming), Carnegie Hall+, etc.  I also enjoy most popular movies - my taste here is pretty proletarian LOL I love the big "blockbusters" with full surround sound / Atmos, etc.  Fun.

I don't believe I've posted my set up here yet...

 

 

 

Second picture is current electronics situation.

I recently moved my Preamp and DAC/CD player to the front of the room from the side. This allowed me to eliminate an 8m interconnect and replace it with an 8m fiber optic run. The sound is better and at a cost of $9.

This is an old pic of my long gone Evolution Acoustics MM3 speakers.

They weighed almost 600lbs each!
