Gemoody -
Reasons for not posting a system are many and varied. Mine are because I am currently excavating a site for a Tiny Home to live in while I help draw up the plans for a new home that is large and far enough off the beaten path that the utility company will be running a dedicated 7 KiloVolt line to that location.
Now, I like to look at pictures of glowing tubes and oiled hardwood as much as the next guy, but I don't have that to offer unless I dig in my closets. I currently lack the space for a separate Home Theatre setup and a Listening Room. Sitting in my favorite chair, all you can see is the TV. My 5.1 system is completely disguised and out of sight, but it satisfies. From classical to jazz to Dune, it works for me, and that is what matters.
For those who enjoy the truly high end, I regret that I have only sold it to others. My focus has been on relatively small and durable, starting with the FM radio station I designed, built, and ran out of my dorm room in college. My current project, when not on the construction site, is to digitize my media collection, which currently takes up most of a 7x8x8 foot storage unit in a much larger temperature and humidity-controlled space used for art works and theater props. The Internet at the new place is spotty, so streaming is a low priority. Since I cannot show you my audio equipment, and leaving out everything on my test bench, I will instead just list the BRANDS of audio / video equipment I currently own.
Excluding some professional video equipment, my daily driver Nak Dragon, and the Dual Golden 1 platter spinner I bought new, I will limit insight into my obsession to a listing of the equipment BRANDS that I currently still own. In some cases, I still have over 2 dozen pieces by a single brand. The collection spans from the 1960’s to the 2020’s. Yeah, that's why I said obsession. I’m sure my wife will eventually be Sainted. Here's the list, which although neither TOL in most cases, nor brand new, indicates I love to listen, just like you:
ADC; Advent; B&O; Bose; BSR; Burwen; Control 4; Crown; Dual; Extron; Fisher; Garrard; Heath; Harman Kardon Citation; Infinity; JVC; KLH; Marantz; MCS; Mitsubishi; Nagaoka; Nakamichi; Onkyo; Ortofon; Panasonic; Paradigm; Phase Linear; Pickering; Pioneer; Realistic; Sansui; Shure; Sony; StarTech; Tascam; Teac; Technics; Webcor; Wollensak; Yamaha; Zenith.
A mixed bunch for sure, not flashy, but they offered something special at the time we first got acquainted. When the mood strikes, some of us occasionally get together again for a while. In the end, who could ask for a better circle of friends?
