New system: almost there...

Nice and clean, you must be enjoying yourself in such a room.

Great system! You can't beat simplicity. Love the record crates. Did you purchase them online? If so, could you please provide a link?

You have a winner my friend. Nice and simple, good electronics, good speakers, a soothing setting -perfect!

Cheers

Target baby! Just happened past them while grocery shopping the other day. Not a perfect match to the speakers, but relatively close. The tag said they are Acacia Wood...? Not familiar with the wood type, but pretty nonetheless. Here is a pic of the tag and info. If interested, you can likely buy from their website.

Thank you! I checked their website, but I couldn't find that exact item. I'll stop by one of their stores and see if they carry them locally.

Apparently I am off my rocker a bit more than usual this week. I am keeping my ARC Ref 110. I also ordered a new Oppo BDP-105D, a Chord Qute HD, Audioquest Diamond USB cable and a couple more Audioquest Columbia XLR's. The rack pictured is going back, as the dimensions are not large enough to accommodate the Ref 110. I will post updated pics once things finally get done and are all settled in. I love this hobby, though sometimes I definitely drive myself nuts. ;-)

Glad to hear that you're keeping the Ref 110

Oppo BDP-105D and longer Audioquest Columbia XLR arrived today which allowed me the freedom to move the rack/system into a corner behind the speakers. I have tried having the rack between the speakers a few times in this room and it never sounds as good as having nothing tall standing between them. My room is awkward.
The Chord Qute HD in black and the Audioquest Columbia RCAs should arrive tomorrow before noon. Looking very forward to just being done and enjoying all this. My back is killing me and it has been a long (but still fun) week. I'll post more pictures once the last DAC is finally installed and I am all done. This also gives me the added benefit of easier access to the patio door that sits behind the system and allows some natural light from time to time. :-)
