Great, thanks! That's just about the same as my JBL's only I can't (easily) get the MLP that close.

I payed 6k for the Isoacoustics dolly set....don't judge me

I believe i spot a vintage Yamaha amp. How can anyone judge anyone with that kind of gear not in a positive light?

I finished the speaker cabinets in walnut to match our furniture in another room

Beautiful job on the staining-finishing, nice.

So, the corrupting influence of this forum has bitten me again. Now, it’s undermining a long-term relationship.

I just bought a used pair of Revel Concerta F12 towers. My beloved Advents, after 44 years of loyal service, are looking at me with puppy-dog eyes welling with tears.

44 years! Now that's getting your moneys worth. I think you have more discipline than most of us, definitely earned an upgrade.

I dunno if I’d describe it as “hi-fi” in the purist sense but it is perfect for myself, saying that I’d love to try buchardt or barefoot monitors just to see if the expense could be justified.

2020 iMac/iPad Pro with 1.5tb alac files with Roon/Tidal hifi -> Cambridge Audio CXN V2 -> KRK 10s sub -> KRK G4 Rocket 7, Audioquest Pearl usb cable, Audioquest Pearl Ethernet cables to iMac & CXN V2, Balanced Neutrik/Van Damnne XLR cables to sub & monitors with isoacoustic 155 speaker stands and isoacoustic 200 subwoofer stands along with GIK acoustic treatment in the room.

New room arrangement.

Listening to Liszt tone poems transcribed for two pianos right now.

I take it you play that Tuba? That's a big heavy guy to carry around.

 

[rdenney]

That particular tuba is bigger and heavier than most, and fits in a class of instruments called “Kaisertubas”. I also own a very fat grand orchestral Holton, but then I have a number of smaller tubas, too.

This pic is from 1991, and I’m second from the left. I’m playing a very small Yamaha F tuba. The group is the TubaMeisters, of San Antonio.

More recent, hair now gray, with the big Hirsbrunner you saw in the speaker pic.

Did you say San Antonio as in San Antonio TX? That's where I live you still live out here? Be cool to have another forum member in town

 

[rdenney]

No, I moved from SA to Dallas in 1993. Dallas is NOT an improvement over San Antonio, and I still miss SA. Moved from Dallas to Virginia a few years after that, and met my wife here.
