Do I see a microwave reflected in the nearest Watt/Puppy? I can't imagine heating up my hot-pockets in the company of such gear...

I think you're right. Hmm, why would there be a microwave there?

Also... Why put a rug under the equipment racks? It'd do more good out in front of the speakers, tile floors are a little less than ideal.

I've had the same audio system for going on 12 years and made only minor adjustments to it. This system, more than any I have owned before (and there have been a few) communicates the emotion and magic of the music.

The system is situated in a lower level dedicated listening room. Walls were constructed using two layers of 5/8" drywall on 16" stud centers. Floor is concrete slab and is covered with the best fiber-based padding I could find and wool carpet. There are four dedicated 20-amp circuits on isolated grounds, as well as one separate 15-amp circuit for non-audio ancillaries. Room dimesions are the closest I could get to golden-rule proportions. The room is prewired for a future plasma screen and Magnepan 5.1 surround system, however, I'm a two-channel guy at heart.

The room is treated with RPG abfusers (side walls), RPG bass traps (front corners), ASC tube traps (rear corners) and ASC Sound planks (front wall). Measured performance of the room/system combination is really pretty good (up 5 db at 80 Hz is the only real anomaly).

A non-audio feature of the room is an ultra-quiet vent fan situated above the hot seat, which I installed so I can smoke the occasional cigar. Make-up air is supplied by a large thru-wall return vent. It was a nice idea but I have only smoked one cigar in the room so far. The fan is effective for venting heat generated by the tube amp, however.

Overall, I'm pleased on this, my third and hopefully last, dedicated listening room adventure.


My listening room just told me that when it grows up it wants to be just like yours.

Not for your life! Have you experienced the way musicians eat and drink? Regardless of how rich you are, you'd be broke in a few months...

Still, I wouldn't want to have that kind of money tied up in Singlepower product.

Granted but only as long as they work.
It seems many SP owners are finding their investments to have finite life spans.

Dont confuse the older amps with some of the stuff to come out of SP recently.
