Ivan, an artist and record company owner, gives us a tour of his sound setup for CNET's Show Us Yours series. This tour has been put together by Steve Guttenberg, CNET's Audiophiliac columnist.
Here's Ivan right after he played Radetzky's "Loops Live By Atom" LP of absolutely mesmerizing electronic music. Ivan is an artist, but he also owns Hueso Records, an adventurous record company.
Brilliant light from outside filled Ivan's room during my visit, creating a really inviting place to be. Ivan is from Chile and he played some of his company's releases on LP, but the music can also be streamed on Spotify and Tidal. Ivan has music systems throughout his home, and he is passionate about the sound of music.
These small bookshelf speakers serve double duty, they are Ivan's stereo speakers for his audiophile music system, but also the main speakers for his home theater system.
There's music in every room: here's the Gemsound BJL-1150 turntable, Prima Luna Prologue Two tube power amp, NAD radio and Polk speakers in the kitchen.
Ivan really does love all kinds of music, this is collection of music from Africa, Trinidad, the US, experimental and spoken word. And there's a lot more vinyl stashed around Ivan's home.
