Readers' hi-fi and home theater systems (photos)
A tasty selection of our readers' systems. There's some awesome looking gear out there!
Turning blue
When I put out the call to "Show us yours--your hi-fi that is" in December. I didn't know what to expect, but the Audiophiliac readers' response was broad and deep. JPEGs of heavyweight hi-fis, from home theaters to tiny desktop audio systems, flooded my in-box. They're all good, so let's get started looking at the gear.
Some high-end turntables are gorgeous, and Lee S.'s VPI is pretty snazzy.

Pipin' the 'Pod
Eric N.'s iPod speakers. Wow!
Sweet Sansui
Al T. bought this vintage Sansui receiver for $10! Nice match with the turntable and iPod dock.
Screamin' screen
Daniel Q.'s home theater setup took about 10 years to put together, starting in high school, when he bought his first pair of M&K S-150 speakers. Over the years, he bought additional speakers, upgraded components, built subwoofers, and then "gave up" and bought subs. He continued to fiddle and finally added a 128-inch projection system a couple of years ago.
Really love your Peachtree
Tom R.'s Peachtree Audio DAC/amp and Dahlquist DQ-10 speakers. Sweet.
Good Omens
Andrew L. has a nice system built around Zu Audio Omens, one of my all-time favorite speakers, and a Dynaco amplifier.
Flashy Magnepans
Terry R. has Magnepan 1.7 speakers and Parasound electronics.
Make mine a mini
This maximum sound for minimum space system came from Schyler O. His mini setup features a pair of Audioengine 2 speakers, a pair of Sennheiser 598 headphones, and a Schiit Asgard headphone amp.
DIY electrostats
Some readers build their own speakers, and that's impressive. But David F. built his own electrostatic panel speakers and subwoofers! He also restores reel-to-reel tape machines!
Wall-to-wall sound
Jeff D. sent this panoramic shot of his extreme high-end audio system. Wow!
Thanks to all who sent in photos. I'm just sorry there isn't room to show more systems.
