zimbo´s currend system and listening space

[zimbo]

Hi,

after posting in the welcome section here are some details of my current system.....

an overwiew...

https://abload.de/img/panorama4cjij.jpg (https://abload.de/image.php?img=panorama4cjij.jpg)

The "main" system includes:

active two-way horn speakers with TAD TD-4001 and TL-1601B in a DIY enclosure with arround 190 liters volume.

https://abload.de/img/dsc060197gjyx.jpg (https://abload.de/image.php?img=dsc060197gjyx.jpg)

driven by a Trinnov Amethyst preamp including the active crossover, DSP and so on....

https://abload.de/img/dsc06110kokz2.jpg (https://abload.de/image.php?img=dsc06110kokz2.jpg)

for power amplifying a Rotel RMB-1066 6 channel amplifier, bridged to 4 channel, is used.

https://abload.de/img/dsc05925qrkp9.jpg (https://abload.de/image.php?img=dsc05925qrkp9.jpg)

Mainly used source is the record player. This is a DIY deck using some Micro Seiki parts, tonearms from TW-acustic and Ortofon and some carts from my collection....

https://abload.de/img/dsc06073lok9z.jpg (https://abload.de/image.php?img=dsc06073lok9z.jpg)

the phono preamps are a clearaudio basic+ and a tube phono of Innovative Audio, called "phonomoped MK2b" :D

on the other side......
the "second" system for listening on the computer workplace...

speakers are Musikelectronic Geithain ME-100, main source apple macMini, also used for main system as Roon core (Trinnov Amethyst as "endpoint")....

https://abload.de/img/dsc06114djkhz.jpg (https://abload.de/image.php?img=dsc06114djkhz.jpg)

Amplifier is a Bryston B-100SST including DAC and phono.

https://abload.de/img/dsc05953z3jsc.jpg (https://abload.de/image.php?img=dsc05953z3jsc.jpg)

the two record players are an old Sony TTS-3000 with Thomas Schick 12" arm and a newer Technics SL-1500C

https://abload.de/img/dsc05762wajqc.jpg (https://abload.de/image.php?img=dsc05762wajqc.jpg)

https://abload.de/img/dsc05345uqjq8.jpg (https://abload.de/image.php?img=dsc05345uqjq8.jpg)

https://abload.de/img/dsc05327hmj8d.jpg (https://abload.de/image.php?img=dsc05327hmj8d.jpg)

both record players are connected to the internal phono section of the Bryston amp by using a Fidelity research FRT-4

https://abload.de/img/dsc05457t4j3r.jpg (https://abload.de/image.php?img=dsc05457t4j3r.jpg)

The Bryston amp is also connected to the Trinnov preamp over its record out outputs, so I can use all record players in the main system.

Hope you enjoyed my little introducing to my currend system.

best regards from Germany and have a nice weekend

[speedyj]

Lovely looking system and your room seems to have a great feel to it.


What music do you prefer to listen to?

[zimbo]

Thank you, guys.
@John
I grow up in the late 80s and 90s with electronic music and this is the genre what I do prefer till today. Of course, I also like other music, a little jazz, hip-hop, pop - preferably mixed with electronic beats.... :D

That's a super system and room you have there Sascha and a lovely collection of turntables. I see that you have the Clearaudio phono stages but have you added or tried the accu battery power supply? I have this phono stage pair but not the battery power supply was just wondering if it added anything to the quality of sound.

[zimbo]

Hi Paul,

unfortunately I don´t have the "Accu" power supply, it´s very difficult to find as single device and, honestly, I don´t think it will be so much better with it.....:whistle:

best regards
Sascha

Sorry Zimbo, only just seen this thread, you have a wonderful system and room.

[jasonC]

[AJSki2fly]

Welcome to AoS Sascha, you system and room looks fantastic, aesthetically very pleasing, I bet it sound great too.:)

[zimbo]

Thank you, guys!


Is that you in the photo with the cat, beautiful.

No, it´s not me. The photo shows Rod Mc Kuen (https://www.poetryfoundation.org/harriet/2015/01/poet-and-lyricist-rod-mckuen-is-dead-) an American poet, singer-songwriter and actor and his cat Alfred(?). :)

That magnet assembly on the horn is HUGE!
I wonder who had the idea of solid horns first. My Operas are similar!

Hi Chris,

the TAD TH-4001 goes backt to the early eighties. https://audio-database.com/PIONEER-EXCLUSIVE/speaker/model2402-e.html
Your Opera is a little bit younger....

and, yes, it´s HUGE!

Wow - that is some collection of LPs. I also like the cartridge display cases. :)

[Shovel_Knight]

You have a very nice space Sascha, I love the subdued lighting.

[Insert long list of tried and true exclamations here.]

[zimbo]

Hi,

after a while, almost nothing is the same as before. :)
A lot of stuff is gone and the room got some changes and acoustic updates. You know that, the hi-fi hobby is a constant process of change. However, I am confident that the current situation will persist for a long time. Hopefully :doh:
Here are some pics of the progress in the last months......

The listening spot turned 90 degrees to the short wall and some bass traps and absorbers were added.....

back space behind the listening spot with a little work station for home office and the digital part of Hi-Fi....

Driving one platter off the other, never seen that before, bravo.

[zimbo]

Thank you guys! :thumbsup:


Driving one platter off the other, never seen that before

It's like using the HS-80 flywheel with the benefit of being able to use more tonearms :smoking:

so I added another one.....
