hooray - success!

i think the cat is trying to hypnotise me

hmm, they haven't come out very big. i'm new to flickr, does anyone know how i can get a bigger pic without ruining the quality?

edit: added new amp pics on page 2.

 

[John Duncan]

Depends. The links you;ve entered all have height and width set, presumably by Flickr, but if you go in and edit the html you may be able to change the size.

 

[John Duncan]

Like this (I chose the nicest bit of kit obv):

 

[Craig M.]

yes, flickr seems to have set the size but the original photo was huge.

it looks like the way you have done it is by stretching the picture, i meant how do i get more of the original pixels - if that makes sense?

edit: to answer your earlier question about usb and optical on the dm, i checked again the other night (1st time with these speakers) and optical is definitely better.

 

[John Duncan]

Don't know flickr's naming conventions, but there will certainly be links to different-sized versions - if you take a look at the link for that jpg, there's an '_m' at the end - if you change it to '_s' you get a small version. You'd expect 'l' ('L'), therefore, to give you a large one, but it doesn't - take a look at the photos on flickr yourself and see if you can work out where the big one is. Note that you'd probably need to size larger photos *down* when inserting the html (max width 400).

Failing all that, use photobucket, which definitely stores larger images.

 

[John Duncan]

Ha. Scratch that - it's '_b' for 'big'.

Very nice set up there Craig. I reckon those ATCs would be the right size for my new lounge. Hmmm. Our cat does that to me all the time, always ends up with a long hifi session...

 

[Craig M.]

cheers igg, in this case she was saying "play with me or i'll attack your foot!"

the tasteful leopard print thing behind the left speaker is a "catnip scented play tunnel", things get a bit "interesting" when she's been in there! she did wall of death round the room just after before mauling my foot... still, makes a change from her trying to get milk out of me!

 

[Anonymous]

Good grief, sounds just like my cat! I had to throw the tunnel because I can't bear the noise of a carrier bag being scrunched up all night. Still, she's a good lap warmer for listening sessions.

Nice set-up

JoelSim:Nice set-up

You do know what that thing with the blue lights is, don't you Joel?

Hi Craig M.

Your current system looks great.

Thanks for your support.

All the best

Rick @ Musicraft

 

[jimdonnelly]

Very nice system.

 

[jaxwired]

Sweet setup Craig. You know a lot of people knock the way the ATCs look, but I'd say your 19s look quite smart on those stands. I rather like them. I wish I could hear them...

 

[idc]

Very smart and stylish. I am sure your speakers benefit from the space they are in.

beautiful picture.

 

[Craig M.]

thanks for the comments. the amp and source will change soon so i'll stick some pictures up, or i might wait until we've decorated. the other half has consented to some room treatment "as long as it looks ok", i'm just thinking of a few panels to cut down on slap echo. i'll let you know if i ever find some that passes muster....

idc:Very smart and stylish. I am sure your speakers benefit from the space they are in.

thanks, i think the lack of side walls means i don't have anything interfering with the sound although i'm pretty sure the atc's wouldn't make too much fuss wherever i put them, they just don't seem to react with the room at all. my old dyn's on the other hand, it took me about 4months before i really found their best position, just a few inches out or a change in toe-in and they didn't sound so good.

 

[Craig M.]

some pics of the new amp. bought from the famous "Rick@Musicraft", i am absolutely delighted with it.

in fact, you could say i am over the moon......

haha, can you tell 2 pics were taken in natural light and 2 under tungstens?

 

[Anonymous]

If I had a spare couple of k to spend on an amp...

...superb looking stuff Craig. Surprised you showed the Moon the door so quickly.

 

[Craig M.]

cheers iggle, i suspect that joel would cream himself if he heard the moon but this is a much better fit for me. it really is a perfect match for my speakers.

should have the new dac in about a week or so.

 

[Xanderzdad]

Beautiful kit and really good photo's. How did you get it all free of dust and fingerprints?

 

[Craig M.]

thanks, i have to be careful taking pics that i don't get too anal about it - otherwise the g/f will come home and find i've turned the front room into a studio with lights all over the place and me covered in sweat! in fact i'm getting irritated already just looking at 2 of those pics

still, that anal quality means i don't mind a bit of time with some pledge multi-surface wipes
