Here is a pic of my vinyl rig

Like the subject says, here is a picture of the latest rendition of my 2-channel vinyl rig. Of course, taken with a gratuitous use of blue light.

Wow...looks like a High End Boutique... very nice.
I see you have a Tempest, how is the phono performance?

The phono section is superb. I was very pleasently surprised when I got the Tempest. As you can tell in the picture, I like the tube sound, especially with my horn speakers. So you see, Klaus had to prove to my ears that solid state could be good too. Well I must admit my eyes have been opened. Tube systems, solid state systems or hybrids can all be good, if you take the time to try different pieces to get that ever allusive synergy. It has taken years and many rotations of gear to dial this in, but it has all been worth it.

Audio nirvana is a journey. The object isn't so much the destination, but enjoying the ride.

Rather than gratuitous blue light, mine has gratuitous blue vinyl  :green:





...and here's the scary pick of my table  :D

Very nice indeed and from Karrin Allyson to a little Rob Zombie, now that's broad spectrum audio.  :thumb:

Wardsweb....I think I saw your speaker project on audioheritage, am I right?  Nice neo-vintage hi-eff speakers?

Wardsweb - Damn man, that is sure to bedazzle even those who have never heard of hi-fi!  Scott- I love the turntable\stand combo.  Very cool! 

Is it just me or does Odyssey gear look like it was designed for a race of giants?

Hey!

   Well, here are picture of my FrankenRega :lol:





   This TT started life as stock Rega Planar 2 believe it or not :wink:

   What is the plinth made of? Well, it is a kitchen chopping broad! :lol: Yes, I really like the sound of which waaaaaay better than stock Planar 2. :D

          And of cause you could dice, slice and chop on it too! :jester:

Take care,
Buddy :thumb:

That system's got nuts of steel!  Plus, there's enough room to cut bread on it.

SET Man, nice ground wire for the CBTT (cutting board turntable). There is room for cheese and wine. I wonder how the cheese will affect the sound of the cutting board with it's additional damping. It may also depend on what kind of cheese you have on the board. Swiss is very porous while Colby is more dense. Now you have an evening of experimentation!
