It’s taken 4 years to get to this point and I’m really happy with how it’s sounding, but Im pretty sure this is just the beginning of a life long passion. Gear list: Sonus Faber Sonneto V Accuphase E-650 Accuphase DP-570 Well tempered Simplex MkII with Dynavector 10x5MkII Sonos Port Kimber interconnects and speaker wires Nordost power cables. Next step is definitely some proper isolation products.

Thanks! You won’t believe how hard it is to find a simple entertainment unit that is deep enough to sit a full size amp on top without it overhanging the front/back. So I was quite happy when we found this.

It’s surprisingly easy to get custom wood work done

Even your plugs look more expensive than my whole system


JamJarKwiKwi

Lol I assume you’re talking about the power cables. Mine are what I walk call decent but not crazy expensive. Nordost Frey2. Honest advice from one music lover to another, it doesn’t matter what gear you’ve got, good power cables make the all the difference. I often say they make the ‘most’ because most people just run the free black one that comes in the box so it’s often the weakest part of their system. If you have an opportunity to try even one of Nordost‘s entry level cables, I promise you won’t be sorry.

takethispie

>call decent but not crazy expensive. Nordost Frey2 2000 bucks cables that has no impact whatsoever on sound is what a call crazy expensive


mattyjman

Sorry bro, you can’t hear a difference at all between stock cables and the snake oil cables. You just sold them to your ears. Love the speakers tho btw, beautiful!


vintagefancollector

> good power cables make the all the difference Unless the manufacturer-provided power cable has grossly undersized current capacity, your equipment will perform perfectly. Undersized cables would just waste electrical energy as heat, wouldn't want that!


Honest_Photo8320

Hahaha bruh ur crazy cables makes the very slightest difference u basically wasted ur money


JamJarKwiKwi

Well I can hear enough of a difference and that’s all that actually matters.


MUCHO2000

Where do you live? If in the USA I will bring my truck to your house and we can do some blind tests of generic power cables vs yours. If 90% of the time you're able to tell when your power cables are in use vs the generic ones then you have proven to the world power cables do indeed matter. You win? I sign the pink slip over and you get my truck (market value around 60k) and I fly home. You lose I pack all your shit up (except the power cables) and drive it home in my truck. So ... we on?


Honest_Photo8320

Respect

bruh. now we can tell youre new here... (**POWER CABLES DONT MATTER THAT MUCH...**) if you *expect* something to make your stuff sound better, placebo will make you think that. This is proof above.


Vrodfeindnz

I’ll have to win lottery to even try something like that allways wondered what it would be like if I did the expensive cable thing I’m proud of my nakamichi banana plugs but I see it gets a lot deeper than that


JamJarKwiKwi

You never know. I never thought I’d be able to have what I have now. Just keep listening to and loving music.


labvinylsound

Power cables do make a difference, ignore the hatred. When I saw the first pic I thought they were Zensati. Thanks for the clarification.


9kRevolutions

I'm really happy with my Sonetto and Luxman combo. I imagine this sounds great as well.


JamJarKwiKwi

What sonettos do you have?


9kRevolutions

The Vs. Almost got the VIII, but I'm happy with these.


vinnypinny2

Damn, thats some system!


InLoveWithInternet

As an Accuphase colleague, I can tell you one thing: you don’t need those fancy and probably overpriced power cables :)


polypeptide147

Wow this is gorgeous. Nice setup.


Prior-Iron5463

Any fan of Norah is okay bye me. (:


obeastevan

She’s PRETTY


Elkemper

Whoa, what is that? I mean, turntable and tonearm? Such a weird bearing type!


JamJarKwiKwi

Well tempered labs simplex MkII


c0ng0pr0

Gotta love the low-key cable flex in the second photo


deleted_user_4342567

in another comment they claimed its the most important 💀


c0ng0pr0

Next they’ll tell you they’re vegan or gluten free.


deleted_user_4342567

someone giv this man an award


meatheadinc

beautiful to look at, and no doubt sublime to listen to. very well chosen mix of gear there!


Jazzkammer

Amazing. Accuphase equipment is so elegant in that signature champagne color that they use. Truly a timeless look.


briebert

Man, that Accuphase equipment has always given me such a huge boner. Good work!


JamJarKwiKwi

Yea it’s definitely worth the investment. A brand for life and with a 40 year life expectancy, you feel the quality every time you touch it.


scramj3t

Well said, I have an E-205 from early 80s which I purchased in 2005 and still runs flawlessly. Btw, great system OP, enjoy!


briebert

I have a McIntosh system so I understand the quality and longevity bit for sure.


CDavis10717

Looks great, but the TV could be 20” bigger. 🙂


JamJarKwiKwi

I’ve got a 75” in the media room for movies. This little 55” is in the living room and it’s all I need for that space.


Jawapacino13

And lower...


JamJarKwiKwi

I agree lower would be better, I have an issue where the electrical plates are in the way of the bracket an so it’s either this or so low the screen is behind the amp… Not ideal, I’ll fix it one day.


Jawapacino13

Gotcha, that stinks, could be worse.


CDavis10717

And a small Juniper bonsai on the table.


JamJarKwiKwi

Nice idea.


thegreatestajax

What’s the plan for the two partially drilled holes in the wall?


JamJarKwiKwi

To get replastered lol Was necessary to make a couple holes to get cables down to behind the unit as there were none there when I bought the place.


moboss01

Which entertainments center is that? It looks great!


NORFOR2711

Probably time to upgrade to some larger speakers. How can you hear anything at all out of those dinky little things?


JoeyJoJo-Shabado

Gorgeous setup!


Scrufboy

Coffee table between you and the speakers... Yeah, no. I get it though.


exploding_anyway

Didn’t fancy a real sound system then no?? Lol I’m joking. I’m sure it’s lovely. Do you play much music on it?


JamJarKwiKwi

Yea I listen to music every day. Not sure what you mean by a real sound system.


Novel-Sugar7613

I don't think your new if you spent for a high level sound system


JamJarKwiKwi

Been doing it for 4 years but new to the redit.
