Re: Howie's Audio System
Great room Howie! That setup must sound fabulous!
Really love those Kaguras you have in the back.
p.s. For the images to show you need to edit and insert them inline
But Joe will sort it out for you no problem.2 Channel Stereo :

The last pic, definitely not an LP-S, but, I suppose the golden Labrador you're about to drop the needle on won't mind

Re: Howie's Audio System
Very nice setup and love the library too!
I’m sure the Aida’s are pure magic with Kondo tube monos, very nice. The Anna on the Thales must be very nice as well.

Re: Howie's Audio System
Thanks. The CA TT and Anna are brand new, less than one month old so i am reserving judgement until later. Spun up my trusty Avid Acutus tonight and I have to say, it slayed the Clearaudio but that might not be fair...

Re: Howie's Audio System
Great “real world” set up. Beautiful. I bet the proximity of the OED set makes the music sound better.

Re: Howie's Audio System
Audio setup can be done almost in anyway, but a big thing for me is to be comfortable and the options for others to be present - it looks like you have this Howie, enjoy!
