Too dark Stevie. We can’t see the turntable.
It was in a German Expressionist mood last night
Dan, where are your chrome bumpers?!
Sounds like a Sunn album!
Sold to make way for 500DR
When are you getting a small table for the new power amp?
Very similar to mine, except you are way better at taking pictures! Looks good and nice cable tidying. Very neat.
Wow, that’s a fantastic system, pretty much utopia in my head! Sorry to hear about your health and wishing you all the best.
No place , it has to stay like that. It’s on Finite Elemente cerapucks, then audiophile butcher block, then another cerapucks.
If I put a special table next to the Fraimlite, the tv will cover my window.
The only way is to put the tv on the wall, so higher. The Ear under it.
Not decided for now.
Do you have to step over the EAR to put a record on the Rega? It looks quite risky.
I am careful. But yes, that situation is not ideal.
@frenchrooster Fully understood - space is always a factor - looks nice so. And keeps your feet warm in winter I guess
The one sitting right sided on the sofa must get a validation before he is allowed so I think
My wife doesn’t think it’s a problem when she sits. More visually, but not so much.
My best option I feel is to find a different tv rack, with a large and high space inside to put the Ear amp. It needs a lot of air around and above.
But difficult to find on the market.
Maybe you could find a specialist joiner or cabinet maker to make a unit for you to your specifications. It would be better than taking risks with the amplifier - it would only take one too many glasses of Beaujolais!
Would it be possible to put the 555PS on the bottom Fraim shelf. You could then lose the rack on the right, put the Rega on a Rega wall mount, and then put the EAR power amp in the corner, either on your block or on a little low table, or even a Fraim base level.
I asked a shop who is making furniture on demand. Two tier rack : they asked 3k.
No risk, I can put an lp without risk for the amp. It’s just not so comfortable as before.
I thought about all racks management positions possibilities. No other choice than putting the Ear amp at the place of the tv or under it, or like now, because of cables speakers length ( very expensive cables).
I could raise the tv and put it on the wall, but not sure about the general aesthetics.
Could you put the Fraim on the right, with the 555PS at the bottom, with the power amp on the floor to the left - so simply moved back from where it is now - with the Rega on the wall above it? It would be easier to change records too. Don’t worry, that’s my last suggestion.
Thanks, but I won’t work, lack of space, and other reasons… the best solution is a taller tv rack, with more height under the tv to put the amp ( and larger shelf too).
Thanks for your suggestions, let’s come back to pictures.
I would maybe put the TV on a wall bracket. There are lots of different types and you should be able to find one that will be hidden behind the TV, so you just see the screen. Then you can put more Fraim underneath it and increase your box count as much as you want!!
