Describe your HIFI -system

[rockecat]

Nice little rig, nothing to be ashamed of here. I have about the same amount of vinyl left over from the early DJ days. I started converting to CD's around 1987.

My wife and I both worked for a music distributor for several years and back then as you know the reps passed out LP"S like candy, so much of it was free. I actually sleeved everyone in and outside with good protective covers, my wife thought I was crazy then and now nothing but praise for doing so.

Aside from the 4311's not-yet-delivered, how 'bout some pics...?

[bigstereo]

I will post some pics soon. I gave my camera to my daughter who has a new baby to take pics of and lives in another state. I have not bought a new one yet. Too busy spending money on stereo gear. I got everything off ebay except for the JBL e 100's, Technics tt, the Denon system, and the Pioneer cd player. I've been on a tear trying to make up for 30 years of wanting the gear but something always came up that was more important. Oh, almost forgot, the Gemini was given to me by a guy at work. It spent it's entire life in a bar which he used to own hooked to a system with huge Altecs providing the sounds.

Holy cow ,I feel a little naked with my little system.

Pioneer Sx-950 reciever
JBL L50's
JBL L46's
Technic Sl -1900 table
Stanton cart
Denon cd
1321 albums and counting.

If ya noticed my post, you'd know we're kinda in the same boat
But I only had about 160 or so vinyls- 1321 ?!? wow !

But my 3 kids in college are in the process of graduating between now and the next 6 months, and that'll sure loosen up a buck or two for me to get back into expanding my systems... maybe trade or replace one pair of my sonofagun updated L100a sets for a small proline system like a 4315 or something different .. 4425 ? I dunno.... just thinking out loud.

I really like all the high tech stuff but for me I think simple and effective works well and I am very happy with what I have. It really amazes people when they come over and I spin vinyl and it sounds so good, they seem to relax and are just taken in by the sound.

After reading about the equipment some of you have, I don't even know if my meger collection qualifies as "Hi-Fi", but here it is anyway:

Living Room

Marantz 4430 Reciver
Atec Santana II's

Home Office

Marantz 2220B
Electro Voice 12-2's
Yamaha CDC-96

Baby's Room

Marantz 2215B
JBL J320A's

Garage

Marantz 26
JBL 2600's

Storage

Pioneer
CS-63 DX's
Harmon-Kardon tube amp
Yamaha T-1
Akai Reel to Reel
Pioneer SR-202
Realistc tube tuner
Not sure of the model #'s of some of the stuff in storage, and its too late to start digging through the closet to find out. I used too have a pretty decent system, but my ex-wife got it. My present wife is pretty understanding about this stuff, since I buy 99% of it at garage sale's. I am working on a budget. Maybe some day I can own some of the equipment you guys have. Untill then, I have to make do with this stuff. Alltogether I have less than $600.00 in it.

[Titanium Dome]

Those 'Ts and 'T3s are nothing to sneer at. You're doing all right, my man. A TI lover like myself would be very happy surrounded by their magical sound.

[BooBoo Magoo]

Sears AM/FM with record player and cassette deck my mom bought for my 14th birthday. I replaced the crappy speakers with a pair of JBL LE8T's in boxes I built in woodshop class (Don't tell my mom I thought the speakers she bought me were crappy. I didn't really know they were crappy until I heard JBL speakers).

It kicks ass!
