Description

I have moved to a new home we had built the music room is in my basement . The basement was finished by me and a builder friend it has a craft room for my wife a sitting room and my music room . The main area is 16 ft. Wide By 25 ft. Long And a area on the left side back of room 5 ft. Wide By 16 ft. Long. This is a nice large room I am still working on speaker and sub woofer placement for the best sound .i am also working on placement of acoustic treatments bass traps etc. there is always fine tuning and a bunch of small tweaks to work on to improve the sound ( does it ever stop ) . I am retired now so I don't think there will be any big changes to the system now unless I fall in to some big money LOL. i guess if I had some extra cash I would upgrade the Reha to signature ,maybe upgrade the caps in my power amp and upgrade caps in the speaker crossover but I am happy with the sound I have now. Music I love folk music ,Grateful Dead,classical ,johnny cash ,tori Amos a little blues , Pink Floyd, some jazz , no rap grunge or heavy metal

The one on montgomery is Everybody's Records. They have a good selection there. Shake It has better Jazz and Indie vinyl I think. Where did the majority of your record collection come from?

Great looking system! Which used record store are you close to? I'm in Clifton, so Shake It Records is just down the street from me.
