Wardsweb Systems Update

[Wardsweb]

While I was at it, I added a Technics SL-1700 to the sun room. It was a freebie from a friend. It motivated me to fix the Vacuum Tube Audio PH16 phono pre, that has been sitting in a box for a couple years. It was given to me because it didn't work. It is a kit that wasn't put together very well. I fixed some bad soldering, bad wiring and some resistors that were the wrong values.

Esthetics are important to me. I love the pseudo art deco look of the horns.

The pics of your rigs are always slick. How many room / systems do you have lol?

There are systems in the living room, dining room (no dining table), den and sun room. I have gear for three more systems. It is an obsession.

I put together a mini system for my work bench. I use Poweramp on my phone, that goes to a Logitech blue tooth receiver, hooked to a Miniwatt amp, driving a pair of vintage Optimus Pro LX4 speakers. Sounds amazing good for what it is.

I gave the quads to my son. I just picked these 1963 Pioneer PAX-25B speakers up at an estate sale down the street. I refinished the cabinets and hooked them up to my DIY 2A3 amp. Sound very nice.

Dining Room

What speaks are those?

 

[Wardsweb]

The drivers are Altec 605. The cabinet design is a variation on an Altec 620 cabinet. I made these for a friend.

I moved the Arte Forma 2A3 into the sunroom. Something special about SET and the horns.

I did add a WiiM streamer to the sunroom system. Great bang for your buck.
