Yep, that's my vacation home system... Nothing too special... Just some Mc stuff I had lying around and decided to make use of...

It's like a 20 car wreck on the 110 Freeway here in LA. With all the flashing lights and strewn debris, you don't know where you should be looking.

The flat panel looks lost in the middle of all that distraction. Too much of a good thing?

Perhaps. "There's no accounting for taste" comes to mind.

he can turn the lights of on most of his gear, so it's less distracting. Also, like you see in the top pic, the doors are closed, which hides most of the gear. Also, the flatscreen is only for media center purposes, for movies, he uses a $$$ projector and projection screen

anyway,
his interior style does seem kinda stuck several decades ago...
not my style, neither...

Keep them spinning,

And the most amazing and revolutionary new product launched at CES was....

drum-roll please....


The McIntosh Wall Clock ($2K):

Seriously WTF??? $2K for a clock??? I'm not talking about something DAC related... I mean a real wall clock to tell the time in your bedroom or living room..

If that's how much a pretty McIntosh faceplate adds to the cost of their products, then I'll never buy a product from them...

I saw that at the show and thought it was really cool looking, but maybe for $150 or something like that. $2k is absolutely crazy. It doesn't even make sense for McIntosh as this clock costs almost as much as some of their actual audio products.

$150 would be a great price... I could buy one, glue it onto the front of my Emotiva XPA-2 and pretend to have a McIntosh amp....

For those that want a tube clock but can't afford the McIntosh here you go

Heh, I think I might stick it on the front of my Yamaha AVR.

To add some more info and pics on the Musical Fidelity M1 Clic Music streamer/preamp ($2K) and the V-Link asynchronous USB to S/PDIF converter (approx $170), I mentioned earlier:

Son of Jim Winey....

Have you ever read Jim's original patent? I have. It is one of those "that is so obvious" patents that is obvious only after it was created. Non-linear thinking at its best.

I have some patents like that- they look easy until someone tries to pick up the ball and then.... whoops... they are stuck.

Isn't it odd that there are so many more critics than there are creative people. But I doubt that any of the creative types ever find the critics invigorating........

I'm looking forward to hearing a very nicely driven pair next month at a friend's house. He also has 20.1s which would make for an interesting comparison.
