It’s funny that the Eames house bird was not designed by the Eames’, but bought while on a trip somewhere, and cherished ever after. It featured in many photographs of their designs however. Been loving and photographing mine for years. It moves around the house and I never know where I’m going to find it next. It is a simple and classic design, not yet bettered IMO.
Very good idea. Could try a blanket to see if it even helps. However: we have thin curtains on the other windows and a thick curtain on one door will not fit visually.
The bird normally lives on top of a small bookcase and I only put it (him? her?) on the floor to get it in the picture to say hello to yours, but it actually looks really nice there. Vacuuming the sitting room is my responsibility so I’m not too worried and will leave it there for a while, and potentially start moving it around. We don’t have pets to it’s the next best thing.
Thanks. I tried the NDX2 on top as but didn’t like the look. It was Mrs HH who suggested the radio on top, and I’m really pleased with how it’s come together, with the Rega on the wall and the Rega boxes at the bottom. A bit more eclectic than having everything too matchy-matchy. As to the next thing, I think buying a few more LPs and enjoying what I have.
@anon4489532 In a good spirit of the season post I have compiled this image for you.
As we come to the end of the year of another System Pics thread, I thought you might like to review all the changes you did make during 2021, and take us through the full journey that got you to this point.
Here is a visual reminder from some of the pictures posted - apologies if any are out of sequence or superfluous. Viewing this image on a larger screen is preferable!
Ha! I’m rather hoist by my own petard there I think. Other than one modest change in the pipeline that I won’t mention in case it doesn’t work out and which only costs £320, I need to hold much more strongly to my resolve! I also need to post far, far, fewer pictures. It’s soon time for a new 2022 thread and all this jiggling about will be consigned to history. At least it’s provided a little gentle amusement.
Found a very old system pic whilst sorting out my lightroom library. We’d not long moved into our present house and I’d bought a pair of n-Sats as my Motive 2s didn’t like the new room. I was still looking for stands, but a man needs music… at least I had NAC A5 so was doing something right
My setup. Nothing changed since 2004 apart from the addition of the Auralic Altair G1 and a complete service of everything and recapping. No DR upgrades because it’s a bit to expensive for me.
