I like the sound in this room. We just received the Acoustic Zen Adagio loudspeakers, the big brothers of the ones you see here, and have about 3 weeks of break-in time on them.

This room made me think that we can expect to also get good results driving them with tube amplifiers when they get fully broken in. The sound here was a little rounded off, but in an enjoyable fashion, to my taste.

Black Diamond Racing cones, rack and amp stand. Odyssey Audio electronics, Sony CD player.

Black Diamond Racing has a Black Diamond Racing coaster. You know, a coaster that you put drinks on? I'm not sure if they just give them out to manufacturers who OEM their product or not... but it is cool. It is desirable. It has three little feat on the underside. I want one.

Now, I do not drink beer, or soda, which would make these coasters mandatory - how else do you keep a long lasting head on that beverage when the rock gets a rollin'? But even for a glass of water - can you imagine how much healthier a glass of water would be that was not polluted by traffic noise, discordant acoustics coming from the cat and dog, not to mention the nightly news?

Finally, vibration control for the common man and woman.
