Two Systems

by diofan56 on Done For Now

Description

Here are both of my systems. Everything for the two-channel audio system is in the tall rack. This is my main system. The black RBH T2P/R speakers are currently being used in this system.

The home theater system is actually pretty small. Right now I am using the line arrays for the front left and right speakers just so they are being used. The line arrays were the speakers for the two-channel audio system. When I bought the theater system I bought the Velodyne and all of the Paradigm speakers for use in it.

I use an antenna on the roof for my TV reception. It works great since just about all stations in my area are broadcasting in Hi-Def.

    • Thorens TD-280 mkIII
    Bought new many years ago and still works wonderfully.
    • Grado Unknown
    I don't know what model it is. I seem to remember it costing around $90 way back when.
    • Carver TL-3100
    Bought many years ago, still performs as it should.
    • Adcom GTP-400
    A great little preamp-tuner combination. Bought new many years ago.
    • Adcom GFA-545 mkII
    Nice amp, 100 watts per channel. Bought new many years ago.
    • RBH Sound T-2P/R system
    Two model T-1/R full range speakers with Beryllium tweeters and two model 1010 SEN/R subwoofer cabinets. Also includes two SA-400 mono amps for the subs.
    The Adcom GFA-545 II amp powers the full range cabinets.
    • Panasonic TC-P50S1
    Viera series 50-inch plasma TV. Bought new a few months ago.
    • Panasonic Blu-Ray player
    The latest model when I bought it a few months ago.
    • Denon DVD-1930CI
    A very nice player but it is not currently in use since I bought the Blu-Ray player. At some point I may use it as the CD player for my two-channel audio system.
    • Marantz SR4003
    Home Theater receiver. Not bad for the price. Bought it new a few months ago.
    • Velodyne SPL-1000
    Bought used. Works wonderfully!
    • Panasonic PV-V4622
    Four-head VCR. Not in use since I went all digital.
    • Nakamichi BX-300
    Not being used. Bought new; an amazing deck in its day!
    • Paradigm MiniMonitor
    Two pairs, version 4. Bought new a few months ago. Used for the front left and right and rear speakers in a 5.1 setup.
    • Paradigm CC-290
    Center channel speaker, version 4. Bought new a few months ago. Yeah, I know, I need to get it off of the floor. I'm considering have a stand made for it.
    • Custom Design Line Array Speakers
    Based on a design by Rick at Selah Audio. They are about 4 years old. Currently being used as the front left and right speakers in my home theater system.
    • Custom Design Equipment Racks
    Designed my me and made by Walnut Creek Woodshop in the Des Moines, Iowa area. Cocobolo 1/4-inch veneers on all surfaces except for the underside of the shelves. Adjustable shelving. The tall rack holds the two-channel audio equipment. The wide rack holds the home theater equipment. This allows me to put one system in one room and the other system in another room if I want to do that. Moving the two-channel system into the basement is actually being considered.

Oh wow!  I forgot I had this picture posted.  Most everything is gone now.  I still have the racks, the TV, the DVD player, the HT receiver and the turntable.

My latest gear is a Parasound P-5 preamp, a Parasound A23 amplifier, a Marantz TT-42 turntable, a Marantz FT 7001 tuner and a Mac Mini used basically as a music server.  My latest speakers are PBN Montana EPS-2 and Nordost White Lightning speaker cables.  My current DVD player is a Panasonic DMP-BD60.

I'll take a picture of my current setup and will post it soon.

Viewing the picture of your system may be first think, way overkill. Then reading that it is actually two systems set up for the pictures, makes sense now.

Nice set up, having the custom racks on coasters a nice touch. You must be one of the few like myself using a roof antenna. Amazing how well the pictures can look compared to cable. I would think even better the sound from your custom made speakers. Happy listening.
