Good Day Guys,

Well I have come this far and so I thought that I would share for the first time, pictures of my Home, my AV equipment and D.I.Y. install and decorating ect.......

I moved into my first and new build home in April 2008

This work was carried out from May 2011 until now 10-September
The pictures will start in my living room before then after.

when you post in full editor you will have an option at the bottom to add
a file, which would be your picture.

there is another way but i don't know how to do it, i see that others post 2-10 pictures
along with their text but i can't figure it out.

Same area again showing some of my equipment laid out on the floor, because I had to wait to pay for my equipment support stands to be made from HiFi Racks of which eventually came along around 1 1/2 years later . . . .
Various restrictions in funds prevented this from materializing sooner.

First photo after I had decorated all of the living room, fitted speaker cables behind coving, followed by fitting the Bose 6.1 Acoustimass 15 Series III, Pictures on the walls, Feature wall paper to make the Pioneer KURO look stealthy against the wall. The HiFi Racks in place with the black pillars to give the appearance of the solid oak shelves as thou seamless and floating.
Bose base unit placed on solid Oak & Granite Slabs of which tighten up the Bass :)

Since these Photos were taken I have moved the lexicon MC12B V5 2008 on to the middle shelf, above the Lexicon LX7 Amp.

Separates in full view are Sony Ref CD with puck weight XA50es, then below this is Pioneer Elite DV47 Ai & finally Sony's then Ref SACD Player XA9000ES.

[quote="benmbe"]Since these Photos were taken I have moved the lexicon MC12B V5 2008 on to the middle shelf, above the Lexicon LX7 Amp.

Most cables have now been cleared, although I still have a number of connections to complete.
Sunday evening was spent connecting the Pioneer HLD X9, Meridian RF Demodulator 519 with Wire world reference
Digital Coax, and Super nova polished 280 strand Fiber optical cables, along with QED's Reference Scart to S-vid + left & right audio (last 2 not connected, not needed.)
Both were connected up to the Lexicon MC12B Processor and then I had to configure / assign inputs after which I set the screen up and Played ''Lost in Space DTS'' listening through the Sennheiser HD 800 headphones.

I am unable to use the Lex Amp at the Moment due to lack of funds to pay for the Wireworld Silver reference Balanced Analogue audio Cables, of which cost £270 for 2 and I shall need 7 & that's with a 25% discount.
The above will take me another year to achieve. . . . . . . .It's a hobby guys and I am used to waiting :)

I have also decorated out my bedroom fitted speaker wires behind coving along with another Bose Acoustimass 15 series III 6.1 System, full study desk, file cabinet, book shelf, chest of drawers, with some more items to follow.

Pioneer 50 inch 503 connected to a Pioneer CLD-925, with a Sony reference 30ES Minidisc player and a Pioneer ELITE Combi DVL-91 and Media box inside one side of the study desk.

All furniture is Solid Oak.

The system in the bedroom will not be fully up and running until I am able to afford the cables for the Lex, & then I shall be able to disconnect the Denon and place this in the bedroom but, only after I have purchased another matching oak cabinet, and also another HiFi Rack four shelf stand in the living room.

Well that's enough for now . . . . . . .It has taken 14+ years to come this far, still most of this is now done.

I must admit that it has been very frustrating over the years, and going without holidays ect......

All the best guy and take good care.

I will post the bedroom system photos soon.
