Looks like a really nice space.
My temporary setup while I heal. I have my LS50s put away because the front-ported ELAC Debut 6.2s are better suited to being close to the wall. Most play goes through a Chromecast Audio via Roon. My disc spinner is a basic Oppo DVD player, and my son’s Debut Carbon (since my Pioneer is in the basement and too heavy for me to carry up the stairs right now). Supplemented with a KEF Kube 1 from eBay that appears to have been mauled by a large cat. But it still works.
omg I’d be playing with that LEGO set all the time.
I still have two bags of assembly to go for the cab and dump bed. The pneumatic features of the crane took a long while to sort out. They’re pretty cool though. Different than any other LEGO I’ve built.
That Stellar stack’s looking pretty sweet! Hope they’re what you hoped for.
Now I truly get your remark about my VW LEGO van on my Stellar Gain Cell DAC. Lego kits make for great damping devices on the steel top plate, don’t they. Your stack looks brilliant, M700’s next to each other which according to another forum member sounded best.
Did you manage to find a NuWave Phono Converter? That is a real jewel, petty PS Audio gave up on them. What Turntable do you have it paired with and what cartridge?
The speakers and stands look great. Wonderful setup!
So much more, Paul. So much more. Thank you again for helping me get something so beyond what I ever believed possible. I can’t wait to get it in my actual “Music Room 1”. I’ve started doing stairs again, multiple times a day so…soon.
“Thumbs up”.
I’m going to Mass again today. 
First time since Christmas Eve. So excited.
Yeah, there’s an NPC in black nestled there on the left hand side of the photo next to the turntable. I put a new ground wire on them yesterday and it sounds so much better.
Gotta get dressed for Church. More later.
Enjoy the Gospel, right priority.
U of M,
Have a great day, going to church with your family, can’t be topped.
Chas
The gospel, the Eucharist, and even an anointing of the sick. It’s humbling to be among so many people that care about you and in the light of His grace that way.
Right now, the NuWave is paired with a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon with an Ortofon 2M Blue. It ultimately will connect with a Pioneer PL-1000 with an Ortofon 2M Bronze. I haven’t heard my good turntable since upgrading the cartridge from the Blue to Bronze, so I’m excited about that. The current setup had a bit of hum when the needle was down, but replacing the ground on the cables with a straight up run of 12 ga copper wire made a huge difference.
I wish I had a better room situation so I could open the setup some and have a better listening position, but that’s not happening right now, so I’ll just have to be patient. Even with the limitations, it still sounds awesome.
As to the Lego, that was one of their crazy complex Technics sets that I found on a clearance sale for something like half-off list a couple years back. Otherwise there’s no way I have it. The main reason I got it was the pneumatics. It still amazes me that this tiny little pump can operate the crane as it does. I need to finish it up, I really do.
I had the Lego VW Beetle. You inspired me to get the camper van, although I haven’t built it yet. They really did a great job on both those kits making them look like the real thing. Same with their BMW R1200GS. Even more amazing are the mechanicals for these kits with engines and transmissions…
But I best stop as, as usual, I’m getting way off-topic again. I’m hard to get talking, but once you get me started, harder to get to SHUT UP!!
We simply have small rooms anywhere in our home, The Netherlands are a great but small country. So like you I am on a quest for a system allowing for my speakers to be placed close to the wall yet perform well.
Like in your system my front reflex firing Yamaha MSP 5 are a great match with the Stellar Gain Cell DAC in my home office.
I am looking for a great subwoofer, it’s going to be either ELAC or Canton as they have stereo low signal inputs. Because the Yamie’s are active I have no access to high signal outputs. Both ELAC and Canton are Big Bang for the Bucks over here.
In the living room I still spin my LP’s with a Thorens TD105 with Stanton MM cartridge. All bottom of the line Equipment, the TD105 about 40 years old. It feeds into the Phono In of my Yamaha AV receiver.
Perhaps not a high end system, but the combination of bi-amping my Canton Vento makes it sound (and look) so good that I am afraid to have to spend so much money to considerably improve it. The Stellar Stack might do it. I am contemplating buying a Schiit
Mani to, move my SGCD temporarily from the home office to the living room and just need to find a dealer who will let me try a showroom model. Well let’s see. Other option which I consider, as the current set up is not that bad, is to safe through and buy new speakers as well which however would prompt me to go with tubes and high efficient speakers. It certainly fits in with my personal CFO’s policy, not to replace something when it ain’t broke.
I am so lucky, the TD 105 Turntable comes with a thin earth wire and I have no hiss or hum. Even with the original Thorens record brush that’s applied on the record while playing, no hum or hiss.
Lucky you got your hum resolved. Earthing is such a complex matter, it’s mostly trial and error till get it resolved.
Beautiful room!
Stunning, just stunning!
I heard these and other B&M models at a well prepared demo by the distributor in Munich. These are amazing active speakers.
