The room’s in the process of re-decorating, paused for the holidays, but the system is getting a good seasonal workout.
Subs are REL carbon specials, my only change for 2023.

Funny my kit is also crammed into an architectural feature
I built the shelves and unit into an old Victorian press

The bottle contains rum blended in the UK and the VDU has gone as part of the “tidy up.”
I’ll provide a few more pictures once tidying and rearranging has been completed

What’s that Orinco thing I see there?
Welcome to the house of fun:
I’ve got a small workspace underneath the roof of my house (my wife is WFH mostly and thus has a full room for home office). To add a bit of fun, I got myself a Mu-so 2 over the holidays. Works surprisingly well near-field and keeps our living room system safe from any audio related experiments I may or may not feel the urge to undertake. Good times, great joy:

2023 was a good year and I had made a few changes to my setup. In Jan, a new Esoteric S-05 Class A power amp replaced my Luxman 590AXii integrated. Added a few grounding boxes and cables. Added a new Shanling ET3 CD transport. And finally a 85in TV for display 
. Moved my system back to its original position too.
Looking forward to another good year ahead.

PSB Alpha IQ… Upgraded from Sonos Play:3 (pair). Will see if I need to add a sub or not. Have a carpet to put down over the weekend.

- frequency response: 64-20,000 (±3dB)
4 inch driver, large room (beautiful fireplace). Can’t imagine not having a subwoofer.
I’m running kef ls50 in open plan living room and using SVS micro 3000. Small but a decent low form factor solution. And available in white.

I’m really interested in these, please keep us updated. I was conflicted between these and the LSX II for my desktop speakers.

That was my target Sub, unless I can find a KC62 used at a good price… but the APP with the SVS is my tipping point.

They sound really good, we’ll see how much effect the area rug will have. I’m probably going with a Powernode Edge and Emotiva Airmotiv B1+ for my desk and sub. I’d rather only have one more power plug on my desktop vs 2 (or 3 with Sub).

The results of 3 decades of collecting stuff… 
Plenty of discs to put into my CXC and Sony.
Hi-Fi Specs
From top to bottom in my cabinet.
- Cambridge Audio CXA81
- Sony 4k ultra HD blu-ray player
- 2014 Mac Mini (Roon Server) with attached USB hub and wireless receiver for keyboard and mouse
- Cambridge Audio CXNv2
- Cambridge Audio CXCv2
Dali Spektor 2 speakers, JVC subwoofer, 55 inch Toshiba 4k ultra HD LCD TV, ISP TV box and a little game console satisfy my media hunger.
Apart from the game console and the blu-ray player which are networked through Wi-Fi. Everything is Ethernet connected through a little unmanaged switch.
