Shed system, some stuff sounds better than others, mainly old bits here.

Wow!
You've got a treasure trove of em' there Joe - trying to put together an ultra cheap system for a hard up friend of my son's!
Think I've found a good source ! [emoji10]

What happened to dirty vinyl pusher?

Been wondering the the same thing. Dropped off the radar for a bit last year and came back to a changed site and no half witty FNQ humour 

Bit of an update to the FSSSS-

 

$180 worth of ex demo Q Acoustics 2010I's. The best bang for buck speaker I have ever heard.

 

 

 

 

 

These would do justice to smaller room main system, well worth checking out, my first taste of Q Acoustics gear and I am very impressed.

Very good aren't they.

I set my mate up with full 5.1 setup with Denon receiver. Killer for the price.

Spooky, I thought exactly the same thing, how they would make incredible surrounds.

 

They are fantastic as mains!

SHOEI aye, got the bigger head Daz

 

They must be much better than the 3020's then as I thought they were terrible. The 2010s do review a lot better then the 3020s so maybe they are.

Q Acoustics do good things for little outlay. I'd recommend anyone on a budget to check them out. PSB too. Of course, if I had a pair of either, I couldn't bear to put them in the shed. They'd be dead in a day with all the flying particulates, small fires and whatever else I can work up on a Saturday arvo. Very nice wee system though dude. Must take a pic of The Bastard Bose to share....

Took a DAC and flac files to work today and injected the old Yamaha with good results 

Evening folks,

finally got around to posting a pic of my workshop system - Kenwood AVR. Rotel CD spinner and a couple of Whatmough 2 way Magnums. With the weather having been warmer over the last few weekends, the system is finally getting a run while going about the usual chores within the shed.

 

Cheers,

James

My garage - workshop listening area mainly for watching sports, live music and having a few frothies (beers) with friends or just to get some peace.

@Greygit love the PI posters.

Recently took the workshop system home for an outdoor party, came back in this configuration and decided to just plug and play, I now have a five foot ghetto blaster  that "shakes the foundations" eye e eye oh

Note the original Stormie Mills graffiti 

Not my workshop, but on my back deck I have a system that has evolved nicely over the last couple of years.

 

Latest upgrades, and probably the last for a while now, are a Sangean WFT-3D for Streaming, Internet Radio, DAB+ and USB stick duties and a Rotel RA-970BX Integrated amp that I just picked up yesterday.

The Sangean replaced an Oppo DV-970HD which was mostly being used with memory sticks, and the Rotel replaced a Yamaha AVC-30 Amp which is a bigger beast and made the space a bit squeezy after the previous change.

 

The Glenwood speakers retain their original bass/mid driver, but the tweeter and internals have been upgraded.

The Yamaha T-80 is a cracking tuner and takes care of my regular 3PBS, 3RRR & 3MDR  listening out there.

The UNDOK iOS app makes using the Sangean a breeze.

 

Just thinking, this is now the first of my various systems that does not have a disk spinner!

 

The Oppo player and the Yamaha amp will now go to the garage, so I'll put up pics of the actual 'workshop' system when that is done.

Latest addition is SBT to access the NAS full of all my freshly ripped CDs ? @Raiden

 

 

 

Ended up running Ethernet cable as the wi fi wouldn’t stretch to the shed. Works like a charm ?

@Darren69 Yes but... A-ha?!

 

?

 

Cheers,

Ahh, takes me back. Was feeling a bit sentimental.  

 

 

I am running on bits and pieces that I just can't get rid of

Now THAT is an awesome shed system.

Thought I might upgrade my amp in the mancave.

Originally I had a AU-217, long gone now and it was ok but no where near the 517's sonics. Sounds fabulous, a total different beast. Probably too good for the gaarrage though but it's getting used as it should.

Is it really a workshop?, it is where I work on my DIY....

Oh, don't know why it did 2 copies of the same pic
