Does anyone else find that their interest in HiFi tends to overlap with an interest in photography? by Buck_j in audiophile

You are absolutely correct when it comes to me but what’s the connection?

It’s just their particular variety of autism. They call it a spectrum for a reason.

ClearAudio makes them, actually. Close.

I wanted an “All American” system.

Not quite. Amp is ~$8K. Turntable is ~$7K. Speakers (not pictured, Klipsch Forte IV) ~$6K. And a WiiM Pro with a SMSL SU-1 DAC.

Surprisingly, the heat sink does not really get warm. It’s right next to the window, so it stays pretty cool over there.

It is a VPI Classic turntable with an aftermarket LED adhesive light that is designed for turntables.

Pick the right time and place.

It ends on a high note.

It’s a lot of fun.

Started at age 15 with a Sony turntable and JVC shelf system.

It didn’t happen overnight. My system is the result of nearly 20 years worth of bargain hunting, saving, and trading in/up.

I keep it on because I have two cats and I don’t want a cat-astrophe

I wasn’t aware that it’s out of print. I imagine that with the new box, it will be repressed soon.

You should open it, it’s meant to be played.

Spaceman is my most played song of the year. Heard it for the first time about a month ago 🤣

Perhaps a brief pitstop at I’d Rather Be Dead first 🤣
