Very nice! I need to consider moving my gear to a separate area away from the TV and speakers like this. @HiFi Guy at what distance is it too far to run speaker cable to accomplish this?

Little web searching says it depends on the gauge of your wire and the resistance of your speakers.

I love how much the KG-4s look like little Fortes.

14 or 12 gauge wire is fine. Don't go nuts spending a ton on speaker cables. Can expensive cables make a difference? Sure, but there are better places to spend money.

Do not buy cables from Monoprice. @jaycee had an issue when he purchased my Rogue amp last year- one channel would shut down. We finally traced it to a faulty Monoprice speaker cable.

pioneer stereo receiver sx-737, pro-ject 1xpression carbon (which i think has an an oyster pearl cart), cork mat, wharfedale diamond 10 bookshelf speakers, mid range blue jeans, and before y’all flip out, fat dots snuggled under the speakers (also i lived in a shared space and can’t crank it too high anyway). certainly happy with it. not happy with my lighting. ever.

Love your setup. What stands are you using for the LS50s?

I very much enjoy that your rig looks like something out of Nikola Tesla's lab. The shelving unit is real purdy as well. Nice.

What are we looking at here, especially the tube stuff? Is that Bottlehead gear?

 

[Melancholy_Melody]

This thread is inspiring me to slow down on the records in order to save money for some upgrades!

You got it, all Bottlehead stuff. Eros phono pre, BeePre, and Kaiju amp. Can’t say enough great things about the company, build experience, support, and of course the sound.
