Does anyone know why I keep getting this message, I have tried to make my pics smaller in size but still the same message. I have more pics that I would like to share of the build as well as the finished setup.

It sounds like there is an overall limit for the forum itself that has been reached, not necessarily your particular pictures. Maybe Andrew can chime in on this?

That was my thought to at first but then I saw other members posting pictures which got me wondering if I am doing something wrong or there was a limit for each member.

Working on a solution now. Stay tuned...

So back on track.

Thanks to Andrew.

Decided to build a little stand for the DC-1 and rack for my headphones. All built by left-over material so it basically is for free. Thought the stand would give it a "floating" look when looking at it from above.



Had to do some cable management as well. Today it all plugged in to a 10A outlet thru a supra block. After the vacation I will get an electrian over to get me some dedicated 3 x 16A outlet. Not that it has been a problem yet, but still.



This is a picture of the setup when I got to test it for the first time. I know the amps are "off-centre" to pass the WAF. But the music was in centre so i'm fine, + I get to look at mono blocks.


My first impression is hard to describe, but i think i found that "bottom" I have been missing, it digs deep.

Looks Great!

when I got to the last piece of the top board I had some cables to handle and I came up with an idea in my head that I wanted the cables to look like they were coming out of the top board. There is a total of 9 cables and 12 holes. I did a lot of measuring and also did a test drill to make sure what drill that would make the best fit.



I am quite pleased with the end result as it was the first time I tried a solution like this.



Last picture is of the setup today. Left on the to-do list is the socket that i'm thinking blue lights in some way (discussing options with wife) and separate outlets.

NICE WORK!!!

Wow! Excellent work, Flunk. Everything looks fantastic. I like the cable management system, too.

It's just a shame that your speakers are so underpowered...

Agreed, suggested to the wife to get two more XPR-1 and bi-amp, she didn't say no so there is still hope.

I have realized that I'm listening to music at a higher volume now, guess it is easier without any kind of distortion. I have turn it to -35 to get a second blue dot on the display.

Actually I was concerned that I couldn't play loud enough in the beginning until I reached volume -20 on the DC-1, it was loud. And today discovered that I goes to +12 so no worries anymore.  Only if I'm ever able to test it to max, perhaps borrow some pa-speakers and play out in the garden for my neighborhood.  At least until the police show up.

Just had some fun with the camera and found some new settings.



Have a nice weekend.
