Mike Fremer’s listening room circa 2009

Came across these photos which I had never seen before. Thought you all might enjoy them as well.

Found them on John Mahoney’s article on Gizmodo “Why we need Audiophiles”

 

So, he has some records. Duh. Pretty well organized compared to most people collections. Certainly when compared to ours!

 

Looks like his old MAXX 3 speakers? And looks like he is reviewing Titan amplifiers. Those look like Shunyata power cords. This area is starting to look a little … uh …  cluttered.

 

Older dCS digital gear. Hey, at least he has it turned on. May not play it much, but… you know… just in case.

 

Plugging things right in the wall = good. Not familiar with what looks like an after-market wall outlet there.

 

OK. Seriously ugly stuff to look at while listening to music. Maybe he shuts his eyes…

 

The old Continuum turntable.

 

 

From left to right, a Continuum rack, a HRS rack and a Finite Elemente rack. The older dCS digital stuff on the rack at the right.

But… how does he get up to the racks to play any music? He must be part ballet dancer tip-toeing through the piles of records and stuff. Interesting he has the DartZeel there. I believe he just bought some of their components recently (to replace his Musical Fidelity) ? Can’t keep up with this stuff.

All of these photos goes to show that no matter HOW messy Neli and I think our place is – it ain’t as bad as this! 🙂
