System Pics 2005

Thanks for advisory, I guess I don't have it (IP adress, own web site ect...). I'll try to get one soon.

Hope this works - the music room

Second try - I'll give up if this does not work

No, Please !
I'd really like to see your music room. I could help:

Mail me your piccies and I put them on my web-site, and provide you with the links that you can include in a post.

Waddya think ?

Best regards, freundliche Grüße

ExPat (and anybody else wanting to place piccies on the forum)
If you want to "host" images regulalrly you could go to this site which offers free hosting:

http://www.imageshack.us/

You will have to register if you want to keep your images in a library on the site

The page link comes up with a "browse" button and a "host it" button.
So "browse" to the file you waant then click on "host it". The file will be uploaded to the Imageshack site and a thumbnail version will be displayed along with a set of alternative hosting "strings" for different uses. Pick the first one in the list which is for hosting the full size image on forums, amd copy/paste that string which starts and finishes with the [IMG] statement straight into your e-mail (don't bother with the pic symbol you don't need to use it).
That's it. Image size is best kept down to 1024 x 680 pixels else it comes out too big, but the nice thing is you are not restricted to a miserly 50KB you are allowed much bigger files.

If you go to one of my photos and right click on it and ask for its "properties" you will see the string that is enetered into the posting minus the begining and ending [IMG] statements. Thats's how it works.

BTW Image Shack is free but I think they appreciate you deleting old images when finished with, though if you delete them from their site they will disappera from your posting on the forum.

good`luck

Is that Multiyork furniture? I'm sure our footstool is the same but in a different fabric?

Took the pics last spring when the poppies were just exploding in my garden

I honestly thought they were flesh-eating plants!

Stefan, does Manger have any special reason for not using spikes to support their speakers?

Those room dimensions and HiFi layout looks really familiar. I can't see a swimming pool though when I look out of my window . Nice setup you have.

What are the dimensions out of interest and is your sofa against the back wall? Can't quite see from the photo. Did you try with the speaker positions along the length of the room?

Expat in Oz,

Just out of curiosity,

How many CD's are there ?

Please tell us more about Audio Note in comparison to Naim (sound characteristic, design philosophy, system matching...) Thanks.

Following some recent upgrades..... (sorry for poor image quality)





From the top down: Pro-Ject Debut II, Rotel RTX 935, Naim CD5x, Nait 3, Pro-Ject Phono Box, Muscial Fidelity X-Cans V2 & Sennheiser HD600s, And B&W 804s

Tuan,

first of all. I'l be damned if Naim and AN don't have something in common in the basics.
The main thing which is very interesting to me is philosphy of both companies: "no philosophy", kidding. The philosophy which says "more of the same". Every better AN component than another is just a component with less manas. I need to say that I have had an all Naim system before and nothing specialy wrong was been there, but I was wanted to go forward and find electronics which would give me natural music tempo, crisp sound, sense for scale, natural flow, liquidity and good timbre. My goal was been to find an electronics which would give me a message of a musician, what HE want's to say, not electronics. When I was listen to Naim, I always pay attention on it's qualities and some few shortcommings I must say. With AN, I hear unbelievably high level of musicality which I wasn't heard before. Zero or 1X oversampling DACs without any filterng significantly affect the final sound. That DAC 1.1x/II is a very new AN DAC and mine is one of the first which are left the company. If I need to be very critical, I would say that even now, when DAC is new, I was totally blown away with the DAC sound. I need to say that also an entry level transport is also realy good, it don't have any error correction deices which makes him very special and component which is first of all made to perform. All tantal, Black Gate, really separate supplies and BNC connection are sininims for good sound to me, AN and Naim share some of that.
Now I am selling my Meridian 508 which in comparison with AN sounds totally unmusical and uninvolving, bright, thin and very nervous, really.
For me, the best of the two worlds are Naim and AN, nothing else works well in MY situation.

I am in a hurry, so sorry on my english and grammar.

Ozren

All that space I am jealous

Expat,
very "clean" setup - in terms of no disturbing shelves, walls, furniture etc, anything near to your listening area. Very pleasing ! And most of all: The sun enters the room from everywhere with full intensity. Great ! And finally: No case for the carpet police !

mtuttleb,
my first thought was: Looks like Marks house... Here's my proposal: Just paint your big Geranium flower blue, and ask the rabbit to wear a swimming suit. The illusion will be perfect !

Best regards, freundliche Grüße

Stefan

Nice system and pic's, Mtuttleb!

But,...would it be possible to shrink the pics a little bit ?
I have to scroll from left to right all the time, to see it all

By the way, your Phonosophie racks looks quite similar to my Tripod rack...





The only difference I know of is, that Phonosophie use some rather large cones underneath the legs, where my rack (Sound-Factory 'Tripod') uses spikes.
(I'm thinking of changing the spikes for cones too)

Those Phonosophie racks inspired me to get the kinda rack I'm using now.
(Phonosophie is not available in Holland)

regards,
Alco
