Hermit's stereo

Cheers Marco. That's very kind of you. Appreciate it.

No system changes since I last posted but I was finally able to source a mid century Ladderax record cabinet locally. This has allowed me to fit all my records on the Ladderax unit and so I’ve managed to get rid of the Zomo record storage units that were either side of my speakers. They were the last modern pieces of furniture in the room. Not that I’m obsessive or anything.

So here are a few updated pictures of the room. My favourite piece is this sputnik rocket lamp on tripod legs which I think is stunning.











I’ve still got to get rid of the pink carpet and replace a couple of the double glazing panes which have blown and are a bit cloudy. Other than that the room and system are finished. It’s come together better than I could have hoped for and I really couldn’t be happier.

[hermit]

Thanks chaps for all your kind comments.

The room and Systems looking great Paul

[hermit]

Thanks Stuart. You're welcome to pop over for another session when the madness finally ends. I've stopped smoking so it ought to be a more pleasant experience next time. How are you enjoying your Lockwoods?

[Slammed56]

Likewise Paul , will be good to get something sorted out when possible ,I think your Lockwoods are the only thing in the system that’s remained the same since my last visit
That turntable looks simply stunning !!!
It took me a bit of shuffling systems around to get my Lockwoods singing ...... my plan originally was to have them in the big lounge but there now in the smaller 5x4 “Hifi” room , surprisingly they seem to sound better in this room for some reason , they look a bit daft but , hey it’s the sound that counts
RFC xovers are next on the plans for the Lockwoods then I’m going to start a new Horn project for the lounge ..... loads of space in there to go a bit crazy

Yes indeed. It's a funny old game. One minute you think you've a settled system and the next thing you know it's all change. I've had the Sony for years but it needed some fettling and that took quite a while. It's been great having it back.

It's always a pleasant surprise when you see how well the big Lockwoods do in smallish rooms. As you know my room is far from massive. I think you'll be amazed at Paul's crossovers. He really knows what he's doing.

You're a braver man than me.
