I’m just soooo happy to see a picture that doesn’t show some fancy brand new, no dog hair listening room!!! It actually looks like someone lives there. Brilliant!

Plus even better, that you use normal furniture to hold your equipment. :grinning:

Very nice. We also have a RB “Itineraire” sofa, backs go back and forth, in the forward position is like a normal sofa and with the seats back a Roman-style orgy becomes a serious possibility. Great for slobbing out, just need someone to dangle grapes above us.

That’s why I am only ALLOWED headphones :smiling_imp:

SWMBO :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Seriously though when we re-modelled the house when I had 5.1 surround speakers, we were replacing floor tiles so we ran 22mm conduit into channels in the concrete floor and terminated in 2 banana plug panels on the walls. We even ran conduit to the family room to use the AV amps second speaker channel.

If you are doing that scale of building its the right thing to do even if you don’t need it !! The wires are still there even though the amp is long gone.

South African houses rarely have studding walls so everything is concrete , wonderful. My LAN cable goes through 2 walls and across a concrete flat roof with massive UV protection.

@Mike_O_Neill Mine is now just SWMBO as I have taken so many liberties over the years on the Always.

And still here!!!

Took the pic not standing on the vacuumcleaner. Sometimes not only the sound is clean, but yes; it’s a living room :wink:

Absolutely no one needs to see my hovel of a house :stuck_out_tongue:

I have an i5 PC running the Core/Server/Storage in the garage. I was using a NUC but I’m thinking of repurposing it as a Bridge/Endpoint. This communicates with a Chromecast Gen 3 hanging out of the back of a Pioneer Elite VSX-LX303 with Klipsch speakers. The Pioneers is hideously lacking any form of dynamic range / obviously noteworthy power envelope.

Still better than the sound in our old Chevy Colorado, though :smiley:

What a “Linn Fan Boy” :sunglasses:, a very rich fan boy !!

I had an LP12/Ittock/Troika as my vinyl setup for many years , when I went seriously for CD I eventually went for the Linn Karik .

There is no doubt about it Linn are great engineers, a long way from dental drills :rofl:

Have you tried The Hitchhikers Guide to Meridian website? There are some really helpful people on there who are good at fixing Meridian kit.

Thank you for this great tip! I did post a message on the Meridian forum and I hope I’ll get lucky.and find a way to have it repaired. I’ve also wondered if a 3D printer could make the part but going that route is over my head.

There is definitely synergy in a system. That has taken me fifteen-years to achieve. I’m not rich, but I value quality sound reproduction :grinning:

Not anymore! :rofl: :beers:
Congrats on an exquisite setup! Do you feel that the Esoteric external clock is a worthwile addition?

Unfortunately, yes :dizzy_face:

The K-01X on its own is no ‘slouch’, and I got the G-02 on an audition basis. However, after fifteen-minutes use (probably after the clock had warmed-up) the differences were literally night-and-day.

I wish they weren’t. And I wish I could send the G-02 back, but the impact it makes is breathtaking. God only knows how a G-01X would impact on the system :money_mouth_face:
