thebilljim Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 So I got some new toys tonight. Picked up one of these... And a pair of these... I know putting your speakers and turntable on the same shelf is Very Bad, but for now this setup is working pretty well for me. I've only had this all set up long enough to spin the first side of Through Silver In Blood, but it already sounds 1000x better than the garbage setup I had before.

Halo 2 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 in progress, plan on getting some wall shelves for my speakers so I don't have to use the stools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebilljim Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Didn't you only have like...less than a dozen records when you joined the boards? That collection grew pretty damn quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 You need to get rid of that shitty t-amp before you do anymore upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamha21 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 The evolution of my storage area. Some custom tweaks that you can't see -- the installation of a backing on the IKEA Kallax with spacers on each shelf and the hooks installed on the side of the Kallax for cord and dust cover storage. Pretty pleased with what I have going on right now with the small area that I have. Also a bonus shot of my record clean area as well.

Tardcore Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I used to have identical components. right down to the blue debut carbon and the rosewood 10.1s. it's a little hard to tell but it looks like your speakers are right up against the wall. I think you'd get significantly better sound if you moved them away at least ~6-8". I don't recall what the recommended placement specs are offhand.

I think you'd get significantly better sound if you moved them away at least ~6-8". I don't recall what the recommended placement specs are offhand. You are right, I used to have them about a foot away from the wall, but pushed them back about 1-2" to the wall purely for practical reasons of being easily able to access one of the shelves. I haven't noticed a sonic difference, but I'd rather have them further from the wall.What's your current setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current: Marantz PM8004 (I went through both the 5004 and 6004), Monitor Audio RX8s (Had the 10.1s and Monitor Audio RX1s before moving up to the floorstanding speakers) Marantz TT-15S1 (went directly from the Debut Carbon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tardcore Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Nice, I've been looking at Marantz or VPI as my next turntable. I would have liked to go with VPI, but a B stock deal came up on the Marantz that was too hard to pass up. I think I even have that same lamp...except I got a blue one to match the Pro-ject.

shaizada Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Ok I re-did my setup a bit. Still a bit messy but it takes so much time to sort out! A friend took pics, and I like them!

allenh Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 How are you getting on with the Rock and the Helius arm shaizada? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaizada Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 It's a fabulous combination really....ultra refined and very sophisticated. Really lets the cartridge come through unperturbed...I really enjoy the combination. Hassle free and always ready to Rock! (Pun intended).

allenh Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Good to hear, I can't help thinking that's mostly down to the arm though although yes the Rock is a fine design and one a lot of the many heavy fixed tables copy (apart from the damping trough which seems to be uniquely Townsend), what cartridges have you tried in it? and have you experimented with damping fluid?

shaizada Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hey allenh, so far I have experience a Jan Allaerts, Van Den Hul Grasshopper III GLA, Kiseki Purpleheart and a Denon DL103 through this arm. Each showed its personality unhindered pretty much. Yes, I have tried with and without the dampening fluid, and the dampening fluid really adds another major level of quietude to the record. It seems to so far have helped all the cartridges above, so much so that I pretty much have decided to leave it engaged the whole time.

arem Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 That shit looks amazing and I'm sure it sounds like god's orgasm, but I would hate to try and change a record after a couple of drinks. Three good bourbons and I'd be sprawled in a pile of monoblocks for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, it is really as case of different rather than better or worse when you get to that level and yes the damping fluid makes quite a difference but be careful you can add too much, the voice of experience talking. I do keep toying with the idea of selling some of my spare kit and going to see the guys at Helius with a wad of cash but it's the hassle of selling that puts me off, I'm ok with the buying but selling can be painful in more ways than one.

The Vool Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Looks nice, but as Freki stated I'd also place it somewhere else...I'd be too lazy to bend down to change/flip the record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
