Turntables and Home Cinema<\/h2>\n

\"Turntables-compared-550pix<\/p>\n

One of the latest incarnations of the system, right before I changed the entire room. Thanks to the extra Artesania Turntable Platforms<\/a>, there is room for 2 turntables and their associated pre-pre’s – the rest of them are on a separate table.<\/p>\n

\"Turntables-compared-550pix<\/p>\n

I had built a separate Turntable-table, to give my the remainder of my favorite turntables a permanent spot, using a separate Musical Fidelity M1 Vinl phono stage, connected to the main system. The big unit far right is a Clearaudio Matrix record cleaner.<\/p>\n

As part of my new experiences with turntables,\u00a0I wrote the following separate articles:<\/p>\n

The interesting thing is that for connecting the Turntable Table, I borrowed a 7,5m long Transparent Reference XL XLR interlink, which in turn gave rise to a new idea for the audio setup and room design with the equipment at the side of the room. More about this will follow in the next Audio History installment.<\/p>\n

Night view of the system<\/p>\n

Night view with the projection screen down – it doesn’t show much, I know, but I like the colours and composition.<\/p>\n

Contrast does not seem spectacular with ambient lights on, but is very, very good with all lights off. It also helps that the screen isn’t mounted against a white rear wall, which would normally spread reflected light from the beamer and screen on other walls and back onto the screen.<\/p>\n

one last look at the comfortable sitting area – for there would be no more room for the loveseat in the new setup…<\/p>\n
