@pechelman nice tube gear! I just entered the tube game with a Luxman LX-380 and a pair of Zu Omen II speakers. Sounding pretty good in here!

[pechelman]

Thanks @setandsetting, your setup looks great too, and excellent cable management!
Have read great things about the Zu's but never the chance to listen. Looks like a nice space to enjoy them in as well.

I been spoilt with Streamer lately.

After putting some time to create proper listening space at new place, I hope I could be more ear to my P2 with exact stylus. I still remembered the warmth to my ear from vinyl.

@oblivion-sila Beautiful setup!

[pechelman]

Vinyl's great but I love roon. It's very hard to argue with my inner pragmatist to sit back and swap albums with a tap on a screen. Great setup @oblivion-sila !

@oblivion-sila Im actually going to a listening party tomorrow night for the 50th anniversary of DSOTM. A local vintage hifi equipment shop is going to debut a new release of a live performance of DSOTM from Wembley 1974. Can’t wait to hear this on the highest end vintage equipment ever!! Should be a treat!!

Thank you @goosehd @pechelman
Vinyl is worth it but yeah need a lil bit more effort. Not sure we are in good era but surely we are so spoilt with streaming.

[pechelman]

completely agree!

I've learned so much more about music from roon and found things I'd never in a million years if I had to go to a record shop but I still enjoy the simplicity of vinyl when I go to a friend's place to listen on occasion.

@Mizmazzle It sounds mysterious. I found some stuff back visiting Worthing but when you say vintage, that will be surely older than those. Please share us your experience. ️

[Mizmazzle]

@oblivion-sila I will man. I just hope to god I don’t end up spending 10k on a McIntosh tube amp haha. They have so much amazing shit at this store. Fortunately or unfortunately, I don’t have 10k at the moment haha

@Mizmazzle Mac makes great stuff, but I'd highly recommend going the DIY route if you're at all interested in tube stuff on a budget. Bottlehead makes great kits if you arent otherwised electrically inclined that are easy to follow and they sound fantastic.

@Mizmazzle very clean set up. The warmth of a Marantz is so kind to the ears & soul. Here's my set up:
receiver: Marantz 2275
table: Marantz 6100
speakers: Dahlquist DQ-20s (if you're in the Portland, OR area I'm selling these - my wife is over how big they are...lame!!...holler at me and I'll give you a hell of a deal. they sound amazing, drink power and were just refurbished )

[Mizmazzle]

@pechelman thanks for the info! I’m def wanting to move into a tube set up next. Would be sweet to build my own! Sounds like a fun project! And it doesn’t cost $10k

[Mizmazzle]

@Inorganic yeah bro!!! Love it!! I agree with your take on Marantz. Also, they are drop dead gorgeous!!
