Thanks. At this point, I have memorized every review of the TAD R1s that’s available, so it’s time to get this thing going. We are pushing the “go” button this week, so next may or so I should be cranking some beautiful tunes.

Default The “Music Womb” (aka my room build thread)

You can always go with the “high fashion” exposed conduit industrial look!

After the prices I saw last week, that is seriously under consideration.

Jim, take heart. Rates are extremely low. You only go around once. After you get what you want and settle in you will be glad. Although not in the same ball park with your project I did an upgrade costing several hundreds of thousands. The silver 24' IC's hurt my soul terribly. But now the pain is completely gone. Also, I'm so happy for you that you have found a speaker you really like. Most go from speaker to speaker without ever finding satisfaction. The highend can be a source of immense satisfaction or frustration.

Approved construction drawings and pricing today. So, should be done next April and move in during May (theoretically). Will have basically a new /expanded house when it’s done and, of course, the music room.

Jim, I’ll be ready to show up there on the first day with a housewarming gift and some records!

Of course, when we’re done, it won’t be anywhere near as big or nice as buck’s place, but hopefully, it will sound good.

Starting to pack up. Had to break out the headphones tonight. The E650 gets here tomorrow for the condensed system during the build (and a second system when the room is done).

When I bought the MD108, I distinctly remember grousing that I would rather keep the couple hundred bucks that they had to spend on this magnificent travel case. Now that I’m moving my baby, I’m rather glad I have it.
