My Current Set Up - SR6006+ DX-1 and Strada yet to be paired

[SatMumbai]

Hi,

I just want to share with you my current set up. This is really a small set up but is very enjoyable! After many years of going through cable clutters, trying to untangle the various cable management systems, I found this latest implementation to be very easy with respect to setting up and maintenance.

I am sure many of our local carpenters can make these wooden boxes. I used a normal 18mm plywood with an ivory sun mica. Got enough holes drilled on the top as well as side to have a non messy look. The front frost glass helps to hide the equipment partially and the remote works with out any problem. The top holes help is natural heat management. If need be a fan can be installed inside. So since the vent holes are on top the hotter equipment (AVR or power amps) need to be on top and hence the partition inside the wooden box is made asymmetric. Top has more space and bottom is slightly less tall but most of the other gear (I mention them below) do not need so much space anyways.

Hope you like the design and if you do so and want to use it for your set up please feel free to use the design cues!

Nice and neat set up.

Nice setup; simple and clean. I especially like the way your white coloured speakes and cabinet blend into the room's asthetics. Lighter colours are always better to make the room feel large and spacious.

Nice to finally see someone into white

You got that bang on! Given the very small apartment that we have right now, this is the best that I could fit in along with the people. And the colors became even more important to make it look not so overwhelming!

Thank you! I have been into black color before. When I had the B&W CM9 in Piano Gloss Black, i was very happy but it was only for the first two days. After that I understood what a big dust magnets the Piano Gloss Black was! Then I went for wood / natural brown / cherry / mahagony depending on the speakers but never white. I got the Kef R300 in white and they looked so airy (colorwise) and so decided to go for white speakers in Mumbai as well! I am glad it looks pretty good

Thanks Denom! I am guessing it is more to the room that the system but I still cherish the compliments either way as all the apartment renovation is also done by me

Thank You!
I have bought them when I was in Germany. But the good news is I did not buy from German Dealer but from a US eBay member. They were shipped brand new in box to me and if I remember it well I guess I paid around 1400 Euros for the pair including shipping & customs.

The Amplifier

500VA Insulated Torroidal Transformer - Self Branded

Innards of the Amplifier

Pre and Power Amplifier Section (towards the right side of the amplifier)

Actual Power Amplifier Chips National Semiconductor LM3886 / Two Per Channel with massive Heat Sinks

Tubes (I guess in the pre-amplifier Section) though they are on the same board as the Power Amplifier. They have the same amplifier in Power Amplifier version. So is it possible that there is just a passive pre-amp section with volume control and rest everything is a power Amplifier Module?

There is no tube glow even when the amplifier is ON.

Nice pics, Sat! Amp looks very well built.
