New audio rack!

[vinyldavid]

I finally got the rack that I had been asking for....

see here: http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii298/vinyldavid/IM000861.jpg

I also re-organized the rest of my room, but pix of that will come on Friday once I get my new desk built.


Changes that will be made to the rack in the near future (component wise):
Remove Technics double well cassette deck, replace with Pioneer CT-F9191 (Gotta fix rewind)
Get a WORKING LD player, and put that in (the one seen under my receiver does not work, just looks better than just the receiver)

In the farther future:
Record Cleaning Machine. Where the Russco is.

Very cool David. This is part of the fun with building a dream system. It seems components change as we grow, and new racks are part of that.

Thanks!

yeah, I think that this rack will be able to support some nice upgrades and additions to the system.

I've also got a Concept ELC cassette deck waiting in the wings with a motor problem, and that will be atop the CT-F9191 once the Pioneer goes into the system.


I think I need a DBX 300/400.

It's the box that has the 2 RCA cables plugged into the front. I just found out that that input does not work. )-:

Still, I got the buzz problem to go away completely.

My mother does not like it, and is going to spring for 2 of the smaller shelves, as she is concerned with the possibility of it falling....I sleep fairly close to it.

so now I have to take it apart and put it back together again. *fit*

But hey, I can get more stuff on the two, and with less fuss about wires and cabling.

may i make a recommendation on that, dave? how about the 1988 PIONEER CLD-3030? IMO, the very best LD player of all. have a look, and let me know what you think...

Nah.

I think that we've been through this before. Not that there is anything wrong with your player, in fact, it looks really well made and cool, but I want a CLD-M90.

My father had one way back when and it only died when it fell down a set of stairs when I was 11/12. best CDP I've ever heard, too.

Mainly I am gettin it for the sentimental value.

DAMN, THAT'S FUNNY!!!!:-oo the first FUNCTIONAL LD player i ever got was a CLD-1080 that my grandma got me for $50.00 when i was staying up there for a month. anyway, the morning she took me back home i was taking stuff out to the car including the truckload of gear i had found at thrifts that month. her house has a landing immediately inside the front door with two sets of stairs; one down to the finished basement, one up to the house proper. those damned stairs are SHALLOW. so shallow in fact that, as i was excitedly lugging both the LDP and the MITSUBISHI HS-413UR VCR that i have in my system to this day out to the car. i lost balance at the top steps and down went both decks. the 1080 slammed right into the base of the brass handrailing separating the upward staircase from the basement one. the VCR landed on top of it and actually survived without a scratch. the 1080, however was totaled, faceplate smashed in, and the transport mecha thrown clean out of alignment. dejected, but thankful that the VCR survived, i got the LDP's carcass back home, where i had another 1080 that i got in non-functional condition with the remote and manual. i tried to repair the deck with parts from that DOA example, and successfully swapped parts and reassembled it, but, alas, no go. at any rate, i traded some crap off for a 1987 LD-838D a few months later, and that was my only LDP until i got my baby there back in christmas of 07. anyway, i just thought the parity of our laserdisc experiences amusing, dave. i too am a highly sentimental person...
