FFS wrong first picture. This one is my setup, the other is my record shelving
>>60275119
No real legitimate reason other than that I like the format as a novelty and you can get albums for dirt cheap. Plus there's a whole 8-track repair scene and I find repairing the tapes relaxing.
>>60275401
Fair enough. I never really bothered with it due to the sheer fact that the players are hard to come by near me, and local goodwills and such sell the tapes for like $2 a piece, which is armed robbery, especially since cassettes are $0.50
>>60275020
8 Tracks are neat, my grandmother gave me one of those all-in-one consoles with one when I was about 8 or 9 and played some of my dad's stuff, actually found the occasional bleedover to be charming. What kind of music do you make, btw?
>>60274286
Nice, compact and clean.
>>60275339
>>60275349
Good for you for having B&W and Nakamichi equipment. Also like the record shelf, doesn't seem like the typical cubical Ikea.
>>60275375
Nice, love that cassette deck. VU meters are sweet. Looks like you've about run out of space though! Or do you have another set of shelves not in your photo?

Normal text is my home DJ setup. I use the Rokits and the sub for studio and DJ use. The Rokits are pretty easy to move.

Looks cosy as fuck
>>60275676
Says the guy with a rythimik sub lol. I just like nice older tube equipment. I listen to mainly distortion heavy tracks (post punk shoegazer etc.) so it sounds much warmer
>>60275767
I couldn't answer this with certainty. The speakers were my biggest save. Everything else, I actually started off small and basic and would eventually sell older components when I wanted to upgrade. Sometimes you would get lucky and a crazy bidding frenzy would happen near the end of an auction. Selling off my retro was also a tremendous help.

I'm the guy that posted that originally.
Fuck you.

*retro gaming collection. Woops.
>>60276271
I wanted to get a rythimik but living in a tiny apartment room (and of course being poor) I just settled with a svs sb1000. Its good but obviously rythimik is the clear winner when I auditioned both.

>speaker behind an object
Why even...
>>60276486
as long as the tweeter and midrange is facing you it's fine. the low frequencies don't give a fuck about a couch
>>60276486
the couch partially obscures one of the speakers.
its absolute fine.
>>60276445
ugh that bothers you, but the amp being on bare pcb with several hundred volts exposed does not?
While I'm at it I guess I'll post my latest build project. I just got back from being overseas for around 2 years and moved into this new comfy af apartment. Built these wooden record holders and single mounts to go on my walls.

The 2nd level (below main) tore out some spackling in the drywall so I have to respackle and then I can put the bottom level up.

>>60276422
did you invent the amp yourself or follow a design or what
I always wanted to make a tube amp
I have a few different setups. This is just for CDs. My main one is out in the garage. Sansui Model 2000x I found.

Chicago fag or did you just fly there for The Wall Live because you were lucky enough to get tix?
>>60278249

>>60279654
>not reading
it's a ticket to see The Wall Live at wrigley field.

got:
pro ject debut carbon usb
aktimate mini+
norstone stylum 3 (stands)
planned:
some sort of subwoofer
colour matching was not intentional but I like
>>60275339
Supposed to be bad to store records flat and stacked like that.
>>60282296
Cool
>>60282328
It is incredibly bad at long intervals. promotes warping.
Where the fuck can I buy a new drive belt? I thought finding one would be easy, especially for a ProJect Debut, but it really isn't.
>>60283772
course it is
I bet you can get them on ebay
>>60284160
I found one but it was $40 for just a little rubber belt which sounds like a rip off.

Technics SA-303
SL-1200 MKII fitted with AT150-MLX
Pioneer Solid State 70s/80s amp, not great but quite decent (considering an update, at least the phono stage).
Speakers, who cares, something by Paradigm from the 90s. Not great but good for vinyl use, very "smooth" reproduction. Good for now, probably upgrade in the future when I can allocate the budget.
>>60284691
Oh and the tube amps built by my dad, based on some 50s design. You're pretty good sounding, but have some stability issues and aren't yet usable.

That shelf doesnt look sturdy enough to hd records. As it starts to fill up you run serious risk of it collapsing.

Looking to get a turntable for Christmas that isn't too expensive and isn't shitty and has decent sound quality. Give me suggestions, faggots.
