When designing my place (inside a steel building), I built this wall about 2 feet thick. Then framed out these cubbies with a sliding shelf for each piece of equipment. Finished the front with brushed aluminum I made up from flat stock.
I Just thought you might like to see a different type of setup.
There is nothing quite a classic as a wall of McIntosh gear. Very clean. No visible wires and no rack to vacuum around.
Great vintage gear - it’s always nice to see a Maximum Performance Indicator in use!
Every setup needs a nice scope!
I probably should have included an equipment list, sorry…
Bozak Symphony speakers (B-4000)
McIntosh 2205 amp, 2105 amp, C-28 preamp, MI-3 Max Performance Indicator, MR-77 tuner, Monster HT-3500 to power and turn off all equipment, Grace Link streaming device, Fire 10 dedicated to streaming Spotify. Below is a TEAC 3340 and a Pioneer SX-1980
It’s like looking at Audio Video Interiors from 1992. All you need is a 25” TV right in the middle of it all.
Man, I miss those days
Some computer monitors are 42 inches these days!
How do you handle cabling or changing components?
Is that a Bozak Symphony speaker? Have always wanted to hear a pair of those.
Looks great.
Are there fans in those cabinets?
I’d like to visit and straighten that picture.
Awesome looking setup!
Just FYI- you should always slack the tape away from the heads when you power it up or down. Electrical spikes can easily make it onto the tape, and then you have a pop or a dropout every time you play that spot. Keeping tape tension also leaves the dancer arm calling for torque the moment it is powered up.
An A-3340 was my first tape machine in 1987. First prosumer deck to offer “Simul-Sync”. I learned how to record on one of those. What awesome memories!
