The bigger question is where are his speakers

Oh I guess there are more pictures and the speakers get lost amidst the computes.

omg so horrible, where are the speakers 5 times larger than he will ever need for his small apartment? Why aren't his $30 obscure niche records with tribal art and pentagrams on display instead of some lame all time great singer/songwriters?

I'm grouchy cause I thought this guy had a computer taller than his desk and it really disappoints me that it's not. I thought it was some sweet-rear end gaming rig with all the fixin's.

Got these things over the weekend.

Death Wish II soundtrack. My buddy gave this to me. Actually a pretty good soundtrack.

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

War of the Worlds broadcast.

Pilgrim - II: Void Worship.

Trees - Sickness In.

I'd like to thank Imgur for stripping away those little things that made their site helpful and easier to use. Good job!

Dig the Trees album, that was the first of theirs I heard and it convinced me to track down the other two. Please share your thoughts on the Pilgrim once you've listened to it a few times, I keep wavering about whether I like my copy enough to justify hanging onto it.

They all have the same amp because groupthink

I run mine through a Pioneer 1019 and am ashamed

, but I have a nice preamp and good front L/R speakers

I have a Pioneer 1020, sounds great to me. I mean I guess some small part of me would like some appropriately vintage receiver full of tubes or whatever but it's also part of my surround sound setup so I can't be bothered.

Death Wish II soundtrack. My buddy gave this to me. Actually a pretty good soundtrack.

The original is pretty good as well. Has Herbie Hancock instead of Jimmy Page, so pretty much completely different.

Edit:

Managed to snag these two recently. The Dan the Automator record was a gift from a friend who found it for a couple bucks at a Urban Outfitters place (not one to look a gift horse in the mouth). And the former for less than $10.

I picked up an old Nakamichi based on some chatter in the vintage amp thread to go with my pioneer PL-516 and I couldn't be happier. Ugly as sin but it sounds great, look for models with the STASIS amps.

Can you say anything more about it (model name/year/etc)?

I have a soft spot for Nak gear.

The TA-1/2/3/4A are all good receivers with the licensed Nelson Pass STASIS technology. If you need more power, the PA-5/7(ii) power amps are also great. Probably one of the few good values left in the audio market. The receivers with 'harmonic time alignment' are also solid, but not as good as the STASIS ones (though if you're on a budget they're arguably a better value).

Thanks, that covers it. I got a TA-3 driving some old Jamo book shelves and I'm content.

Will do, I'll give it another spin or two on Friday.

I'll have to give it a listen. Though I have to say the cover for that release is a bit of a letdown compared to giant Charles Bronson looming over a city.
