"My" Room is very close to completion; most equipment and all LPs in place.
I set up my system in a rudimentary fashion to begin the tweaking process etc. I have built in low cabinets with countertop along the right side which should be an ideal location for equipment. The cabinets are mounted to an exterior wall.
Here is the view from what will by my (approximate) listening position. I will install longer speaker wires.... (Nordost Flatline right now and clearly not long enough).
More to show as it develops so to speak.

...I'll wait. : )
Want to get ambitious?
See if you can determine which way the joists run under your floor, which is usually the opposite direction of the flooring on top of them ...so my guess is they are running in the right direction to put the cables under the floor and have them pop up right behind the speakers ...assuming you are willing to drill some holes and are good with a snake.
I know ...it sounds nuts. I did this for several clients back in the day and the "wireless" look is wicked cool.
Nice room. Enjoy !

Triangle Titus 202

LOVE the Triangle speakers. I posted a review several years ago, and what I said then still stands. EXCELLENT speakers for tubes. I drive them with a variety of tube amps. Using the Carys now, but also have Heath W5m, W4, AA 111, Dynaco ST70, Eico HF87 and 86, Fisher 30 pr, Pilot 902 pr. With all amps, the speaker deliver whip sharp transient response and create a soundstage unconstrained by speaker location. Can be holographic at times.
Some say they are "bright". Bass is lean and may cause a perceived emphasis on upper mids and treble. Tubes are the perfect counter to any brightness.
About 2000 records; of which about 150 or so have been designated for sale...have to go through, clean grade etc.
I have longer cables that will be installed until I have a chance to upgrade.
I have included a pic of my vintage display. All pieces are in working condition- either stock, restored or rebuilt.
Thanks all !
could use them with my equipment collection!
Congratulations!

If you need some longer speaker wire, I like KnuKonceptz Kord Speaker Wire Ultra Flex Blue OFC 10 Gauge Cable, which is less than a dollar a foot on eBay. It is what I use with my Thiel CS3.7 speakers . I terminated my speaker cable with Nakamichi Gold Banana Plugs .
Hey, John, that's nice lookin' stuff. Think I'll order a roll.
Best

Great view, but it looks like longer Nordost cables are needed?
Awesome, I have half of that. Show as some pictures of your equipment. Drool...

so how many LPs showing there?
give or take...
"Once this was all Black Plasma and Imagination" -Michael McClure
There are 40 cubes, and each can hold 70 LPs, making total capacity 2800. I actually had less than I thought and I segragated about 150 for eventual sale. Most of the box sets along the bottom row are classical.
that's what 3k vinyl look like!
I think I am getting there albeit mine are scattered all over the house because there are no large wall like yours to dedicate storing LPs. :x
Are the speakers in the picture Triangle Titus? If so how do you like them? And what amp? Thanks.....
i
looks great!
Happy Listening
Wow, looks great.
Any way you can flip the speakers in the room?? Those albums in the cubes make for great rear wall diffusion. Really works well.
