Okay, so finally, after posting about the oak stereo rack or whatever it was originally called, this will probably be a letdown, but here it is:
The bottom shelf was, of course, designed for holding records, and those are what remain of the soundtrack albums.
(The rest of the records cover an entire wall, I'm afraid, and while it's a nice collection accumulation, it all needs to be whittled down further. At its peak several years ago, I estimated it to be some 5,000 albums. Oy!)
More to follow.
Lovely...but do you have a laserdisc player??
Why, DR George, I am shocked. What kind of a jernt do you think I'm running here?
Top shelf: Jolida phono pre-amp, Teac cassette deck, Pioneer reel-to-reel deck, Pioneer Elite A/V receiver.
Middle: Sony Beta HiFi VCR (not connected at present), Pioneer LD player with Lexicon surround decoder (you needed an outboard one back in those days), Panasonic VHS+DVD recorder. The little thing sitting on top is a Sirius.
EDIT: Other items were the cable box and Oppo BDP-93 Blu-ray player (all-region). TV is Panasonic 50" 3D plasma. Speakers are a mixed bag: my original Vandersteen 2C's (with small power amps because I wasn't sure it was a good idea to call upon the receiver to power those along with everything else -- but in fact, I've been told that would probably work fine and sound even nicer); Energy center and side surrounds, Jamo rear surrounds, and Lava subwoofer. Purists would scream, but it's all balanced and I assure you it sounds fabulous. What else? Oh-- turntable is the late-'80s incarnation of the original AR turntable, with Rega tonearm and an old Audioquest cartridge that should probably be replaced.
