I really like the view out of the window Jerry! Do you have a pond in your yard or are you on a lake/ocean front?Originally Posted by jandl100
2nd system update.
Frosty today in the Welsh hills!
You can just see my leetle Akai graphic equaliser, behind the wooden dinosaur (how appropriate!).
A 4dB bass lift from that and the quite bass light Maggies sound just rootin'-tootin'.
AMC 2100 power amp supplies loads of control (100wpc, 30A+ current delivery).
Audiolab MDAC fed by an old Pioneer DVD player as CDT. Long USB cable from lappy for streaming.
Rotel DD tt with Goldring Eroica mc cart.
Denon minidisc player for my 500 or so collection of mainly live concert recordings off Radio 3.
... and not forgetting my luvverly tartan carpet.
Sweet.
View from just by listening chair ...
Cold in Vancouver today! Calling for some snow over the next four days. That doesn't happen on a regular basis here as our climate is quite similar to London's

Thanks, Don, it is nice.
No, the only water is a small stream that runs across not far beyond the hedge you can see outside the window.
We are surrounded by hills, which is good, too.
And this is Wales - so sheep, lots of sheep!

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

That is a beautiful location! I prefer ocean frontage being nearby and my wife prefers to be near farms, like where she grew up, so, of course, we live near farms! I tell her that she won the property discussion, so I get to have my Hifi ; )There's the stream ... and you see what I mean about the sheep?
Every time she complains about all of the money that I have spent on Hifi, I mention that I want to buy a motorcycle again.....then she says shut up and buy yourself some records. Ha! I may miss my motorcycle but I a building my vinyl collection!
