Showing (off) your Roon setup - description and photos [2024]

My wife is an architect and designed and built our house.

One of the joys for me is the Hi Fi Cupboard

A lot of the gear has changed since we moved in 20 years ago - although fortunately the power amp hasn’t and still looks great in its slot.


It’s a Hot Tubes JD1 - based on the Michaelson and Austin TVA-1 (Hot Tubes was a Hi Fi venture with a friend many years ago)

The rest of the gear hides. There is a mixture of gear for the main Hi Fi in the living room - plus the multi-room system we installed when we built the house - updated to use roon.
