3db's Main System located in the basement

[Mike Schramm]

That’s my goal, to get good enough that it looks like a museum piece! Also, I’m nowhere near reaching that goal…

Most of us are several blocks away from the museum… and there’s no street parking in sight

I did an invisible system upgrade with my basement system. I replaced the Iomega media player which did not have any networking capability (but it has a 1 TB drive) with a Roku Ultra HD. I can now accesss my Emby server/library as well as get back some of the movie streaming apps that are no longer being supported on my Samsung TV. I just made it a dumb TV.

I think I'll use the Iomega on trailer system or maybe on the Yamaha stack and run an HDMI cable from it to the display just for navigation and menu selection purposes while connecting its analog output into the Yamaha 2 channel stack. Decisions.

I decided to put the Iomega in the Yamaha stereo stack. The analog outs of the Iomega feed the preamp. The HDMI cable is fed to the display so I can navigate the Iomega's menu.

I came home yesterday from my daughter's place after spending the weekend with them. Its a 90 minute drive away . On my way home I picked up a 25 cube kallax storage shelf from Ikea for the basement. I started the project around 2pm yesterday and didn't finish it until 7pm for supper. I still had some tidying up to do this morning.

It started off by emptying the white shelves.

There new spot was in the furnace/laundry room which also meant some rearranging. I first had to move the gray shelf and ladder to the new location shown.

The two white shelves landed in the spot where the gray shelf was.

After teh laundry/furnace room was organized, I had space to build the Kallax in the media room. I built the 25 cube unit without losing my sh?t. I think I'm beginning to get fluent in IKEA. Once built and located where I wanted it to go, I moved all albums from brown shelves below to the Kallax.

I took all the cassettes from this location

and moved them to the brown shelves

Now all my albums are in one spot and my cassettes in the other
