I am really happy with how the room has turned out. I have been working on finishing up my projects (which seems like a never ending spiral because I just added two more . The credenza and the edison bell portable). I cannot wait for my electric machines to be working
A few people have asked me "How does a credenza compare to a Cortez"? Well I can't fully answer that question yet because I haven't done any work on the credenza yet. The potmetal reproducer is in pretty sad shape... but I just put the reproducer that was on the 2-55 on the credenza. But at the moment this is all I can say:
The Cortez has a "warmer" sound than the credenza, but the Credenza has much better bass. The biggest difference that I have noticed is that the Cortez sounds the same whether you are sitting on the floor or standing. The Credenza sounds better sitting on the floor than it does standing in front of it.

Re: Phonospace (or, "Where's Waldo?)
david, you've got a nice gramophone room. Only one thing... those unsleeved records in vertical position on your shelves are going to give disappointment.. they tend to slide out and fall on the floor at the slightest provoocation. Be careful. Better: sleeve them! Or find a place to put them horizontal, so they don't slide out!

Mine spans two different houses and is a cluttered mess not fit for photography…

As the antithesis to Andy, here's how I am displaying my windup collection these days (no, not REALLY sideways ):
In other news, I saw Jerry B's basement today.

I am looking forward to the day I get to visit Jerry B’s basement. I am sure pictures do not do it justice

Well with the addition of the cylinder cabinet it’s slightly less cluttered, but many of my machines share the same space as the other pieces of audio / visual gear and the media that plays on them. While my whole cylinder collection so far is in one place all together…the rest not so much. I really could invest in more shelving.VanEpsFan1914 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 12, 2021 7:38 pmThe sweetness of honesty.AmberolaAndy wrote: ↑Sat Jun 12, 2021 5:27 pm Mine spans two different houses and is a cluttered mess not fit for photography…
