Nice, ralniv! I'm in Newport Beach right now, headed to San Diego tomorrow.

I just missed ya. I was visiting family in Florida last week. I hope you enjoy your stay in southern California.

Hey, stu and Nemesis! Welcome to the Guide and Club Parasound! :banana: Good pics! Stu, where's White Salmon? I'm in Puyallup.

Nemesis, that's a great screen!

Here's your pictures for everybody in full size:

[stu1101]

White Salmon is just accross the Columbia river from the town of Hood River, Oregon. Sixty miles east of Portland. This is the big windsurfing/kiting area.
The 13" TV makes my C2 a C1! Well almost.

Whistler, that Teac unit is gorgeous! What is it, exactly?

[Chris D]

Nice!

[Kingdaddy]

Well, here is mine with the network interface (Airpanel) for my music server

Never mind, can't make my file small enough to attach.

[Chris D]

Daddy, do you have a server somewhere (or does a friend of yours) that could host the picture?

Kingdaddy, once your pictures exist somewhere in cyberspace, you can link to the actual pictures here in the format of

[nicholtl]

Those speakers are INTENSE!

[Chris D]

They either look like bongo drums, or Star Wars set pieces. I can't tell.

[Kingdaddy]

Thanks for posting the pictures Chris, my room is so dark that I need to use scene mode on my camera to get enough light through the shutter and this makes the file size larger then normal. They still don’t look very good though, I need to learn more about photography

.

I hear the bongo analogy a lot, the guy over at exoticaudio.org described them that way as well. The idea of the shape was to channel the back wave away from the driver and have it dissipate as much as possible before it gets back to the cone. I had 5 different shaped prototypes before I chose this one, and there did seem to be a discernable difference between the different shapes. Sphere, pyramid, two different tapered polygons and beveled square were among the different types I tried.

Nemesis, what brand/model number is that screen of yours? That's sweet and I've been thinking of doing something like that for my C1. Unfortunately, I never found on that would allow it to sit like that. Is there some kind of a stand built into it? :T

Thanks!

[Whistler]

Whistler, that Teac unit is gorgeous! What is it, exactly?

The Teac VRDS-25X is a dedicated CD-Player, it still needs to get tuned (seperate power supplies etc... ).

Equipment list

[nicholtl]

MAGS - Very minimalist and zen. Very tasteful and clean. And a fine selection of components to boot. You should be a contemporary interior decorator.

Alright, you guys inspire me to get up off my ass and borrow a digicam so I can post pics of my setup now.

[NMyTree]

Wow, you guys have some sweet gear and some great pics!

Thanks for posting them, I love seeing pics of people's systems.

[Peter Nielsen]

MAGS - Very minimalist and zen.

:agree: very nice and "clean" setup. High WAF :B

Peter

[Chris D]

Mags, what a GREAT setup and set of pictures. I agree-that's so clean and chic looking. You could make equipment brochures from your setups!

[nicholtl]

Edit.

[Peter Nielsen]

What am I doing wrong?

The start tag is [IMG] and the ending tag is [/IMG]

Add a slash to the ending tag, and it will work just fine.

Peter

[nicholtl]

Oh ok, it worked, only the picture turned out HUMONGOUS. How do I resize it be more civilized?

You could for instance use PMView.

[nicholtl]

Here we go... (thanks Pete for the help!)

Where the amps get their power...


Part of the rat's nest...


Cool angle, eh?


The system...


THE rat's nest...


Media racks...


Refreshments...


And my bedroom system in the far back...

[Chris D]

Whoa...

Nicholt, I edited your picture link for you on the last page, but it looksl ike you changed the pic address. (because of size, I guess)

[nicholtl]

Ahh, thanks Chris. I edited that particular post, since the image was waaaay huge. All my pics are on this page now. I like the baby in your avatar. Your kid?

[Chris D]

No, no... my little girl's massively cute. That's just a funny pic I found to put in the avatar for a few weeks. Okay, this may be cheating, but I'll use the excuse that somebody ELSE brought up the subject, and this IS a picture thread after all. So it's not my fault I'm posting a pic of my little muffin:

[NMyTree]

Whoa....nice system and set up, nicholtl !!! Very nice!!

Although, I'd like to see some of those pics, without the blurryness :B :W

Man, I love these system picture threads. So much fun to see everyone's gear and their set ups.

Chris, she's a doll, a real cutie!

[nicholtl]

Yup, Chris, she's adorable as can be! I want to give her a big hug!

Tony, haha funny you mention the blurriness...it was intentional, with my slow shutter speed and all. I felt it added to the visceral effect. =)

[NMyTree]

LOL.....I see. :B

The 'ole ........my system and speakers are so powerful, it's shaking the whole house. Thus impossible to take a "still" picture :rofl:


Seriously, you have a sweeeeeet system there!


BTW, is that the Queen Alien I see on top of one of your floorstanders?

[nicholtl]

That's my roommate's "Sentinel" from the Matrix. I should've taken a pic of the other speaker, with a Darth Vader model. They're really quite detailed!

[Chris D]

I don't think I've posted pictures of the half-rack Z-series.

Here's the Zphono:



The Zselect speaker selector:



The Zamp v.3:



And the Ztuner:



For all of these components, here is an equally scale sized apple for size comparison:



If nothing else, these components have some real nice looks to them. Here's more pics of the Ztuner:



And of the Ztuner back with RS-232 control.

Here's My New Toy!

Okay! Here's some pics of my new toy.

[Chris D]

Dang, that piece looks sweet. Still haven't got over the good looks of the Halo.

[will1066]

Nice pics and setups!

You have a beautiful daughter, Chris. How old is she?

[Chris D]

Thanks, Will! She's 18 months old here in a few days.

When we were considering baby names, I actually mentioned "Halo"... that didn't get a warm reception by the wife.

[will1066]

LOL, it would've been fitting. She looks like an angel. Congrats. You must be proud!

[r100gs]

Just stereo. 8)

[Chris D]

Oh, yeah... looks like your study/office is lots of fun to be in, r100gs! Here's your picture blown up for everyone to see:

[Kingdaddy]

Those look like Dynaudio Audience, if so, very nice. you would be surprised how much better imaging could be if there is no furniture between the speakers. Nice set up, BTW
