Livingroom toys

Current incarnation of my 25 year project.
Thumbnail for APL Hi-Fi 2900 - Fully redesigned with 32 bit DAC board with 211KHz upsampling and ECC99 tube stage.
Thumbnail for Simplicity - On the rack. The APL player has a hybrid attenuator, so it's coupled directly to the power amp. I like it this way over a preamp.
Thumbnail for Living room - There's a 36" flat-screen behind the doors, so we usually have them closed.
Thumbnail for Drivers! - Totem Hawks
Thumbnail for Air dried maple plinths - with Audio Points under the Totem Hawks
Thumbnail for The rack... - ...has been isolated from the entertainment center by cutting 1" holes in the cabinet shelf and the ends of the rods have been ground into spikes to pierce the carpet and make contact with the cement slab below. My D.I.Y. Flexy rack was built with ¾' threaded rods, 1½' maple shelves and has been grounded.
