Nothing particularly interesting, expensive or new here, but i’ll show it anyway..

When i first moved into my cottage in 2017..

Grant, you may well recognize that Thorens, although now it’s now shoved in a cupboard with a SME 3009 on it, and will probably sit there for all eternity.

Fast forward to a few months or so ago..

Ok, so not looking good, in fact a complete fucking rats nest of wires and cables, so..
With a bit of time on my hands i grabbed a paint brush, replaced the skirting boards, curtains and fenced in the rats nest of wires so the whole lot looks a tad more palatable.
I still need to make some more trunking to hide the cables and a few other bits, but thats it.
It sounds good and i’m not chasing anything better as i’m more than happy with it..

Nicely done Jon ! good job :thumbsup:

A40 power amps? Got a pair of those tucked away somewhere, sounded pretty good as I recall, one of them started distorting though. Wasn't sure about getting it mended because of the cases being glued together.

I always wanted one of those pin-stripe Meridians.

They're really nice players.

They do come apart relatively easily if you are careful.

Very neat Jon, and I'm glad to see you've got your albums stored properly. I was a bit concerned for them in pic 2 - ask Marco, he knows a thing or two about ring wear :)

That John Player Special clock is pretty cool.

As is that gadget you got for blowing dust off the needle.

[InThe Sticks]

Thanks.

You've lost me there :scratch:


Oh, and my listening chair, a La-Z-Boy heated, massaging recliner with of course a fridge built into the arm rest (excuse the dust)

Are you able to contact Scotty in Engineering through the arm rest controls?

[Gazjam]

Really nice setup man, like it!
Always wanted one of those Meridian players.

Looks good Jon, and love the listening chair, I would probably nod off in it.

I used to have some NVA gear about 15 years ago, an NVA P50 passive pre-amp and A30 power amp, I found it very good, very revealing and lots of detail. I moved onto Meridian gear and a surround sound set up for a while.

I indeed can , but only if the warp drive is topped up with dilithium crystals.

I do, all the time, especially as it reclines almost flat.
I went from a Croft integrated to NVA and it was night and day for me.
The croft was good, but just too damn warm sounding for my taste.

What was the car battery for? And do you now have more than 2 CDs?

The aux battery was for powering a DAC, and see pic 3 for the other answer.

[Barry]

Ah yes - I didn't see them under the TV.
