this looks like a serial killer’s dungeon…
Newspaper:

“Victims were tortured for weeks, having to listen to “Jazz at the pawnshop” so they could decide if there really were audible differences between cables, amplifiers and CD players, before their inevitable death came as a final relief.”

I have neither the skills, nor the diligence, nor the time to generate beautiful 3D view.
And this is almost the worst time to show off my interior. Everything is rearranged and a lot is out of place.
But Quod tibi hoc alteri.
Just three stacked phone photos. The toilet is on the left in the dark:

At first I thought this "stacked photo" was of one of my local friend's places.
He is single, never married, just girlfriends (one for roller skating, one for motorcycling (he has a late 60's Triumph and a late 60's full dress Harley Davidson, [they are the only 2 possessions that he has that do not give off this vibe]), another gal to have lunch with, etc.
His 6 old, non-descript cars & a dually truck, his farm house in the country, his in town condo & his place with 6 acres in the sub-burbs in between, all have this almost but not quite hoarder vibe (the selection of stuff is too selective, useful [and he knows where everything is]) for it to actually classify it as hoarding.
He's just a machinist and tinkerer that has gone a bit extreme.

Just opened up our small sunporch...I mix and match things there...this is the initial setup for summer.

Oppo CD/Blu-Ray player, Nikko Beta 20 preamp, small BT receiver, dual mono Aiyima A07MAX amps with 36v/5a power bricks, ADS L420 speakers in original condition.

Playing from the sunporch on our landing, the sound travels nicely to both the 1st and 2nd floors.

Our, still very small, listening room and setup seen from my listening position - with new gear since dec. 2025. New gear since last post:
TASCAM BD-MP1MKII Blue-ray/CD/DVD/HD File player - through a Topping E30 DAC to the Parasound pre-amp.
Audient Oria Mini - Room Correction - Instead of IK multimedia ARC room correction.
The Thorens TD1601 (on this photo) is sold the other day and I am waiting for a new Thorens TD1601 with the new improved arm (TP160) to arrive.

If you - like me - have a very small listening room, then space for physical media can be a big problem. There is not much of a solution for storing LPs - they take up the the space they take up.
BUT the space that is needed for storing CDs is another thing - I have compressed the physical volume of my collection to about a third by taking the CDs+frontcover+backcover out of the jewelcases and into a danish made PET CD pocket (https://djois.co.uk/home-living/media-storage/cd-storage/cd-sleeves-for-cd-storage) and the into baskets bought on Amazon (https://www.amazon.de/-/da/dp/B0BHSHLN51?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1).
A great solution with an extra benefit - you can now browse fast the collection like in a music shop. The front CD indicates where in the alphabet the basket starts.
Photos 1: Comparison between CDs in jewelcases and in pockets - 13 jewelcases just emptied into 13 pocket stacked beside each other to show the obvious physical volume compression.
Photo 2: My entire CD collection of 1821 CDs (including all boxed-sets and digipaks that cannot be repackaged into the PET CD Pockets) in a very small space :-). Every basket containing 50 to 60 CD-albums depending on boxed-sets and digipaks.
