Michael Fremer's system

Well, it's his style. I stopped reading reviews on a regular basis a long time ago, anyway. Besides, there is so much used equipment that I think this will forever be enough for me. Except for cartridges and cables. Cables keep improving significantly.

Lots of stuff in a limited space. Surprised me.
 I enjoy his writing, and his videos.
Wouldn't change a thing.

This is not only Mikey's listening room, but his office and place of business.  Comparing it to "other" dedicated audio rooms is an unfair comparison. 

I agree with others here. One cannot pretend to add, subtract or keep any gear he has because he is an audio equipment review professional with a major magazine. Beside that, everyone has their own ear, their own tastes for sound. Additionally, he can listen to far more gear, at outrageous prices than we can. Many people here, rely on word of mouth and what is written in forums like this.
At any rate, I can only take 5% of what professional reviewers say seriously. They have bias, they take incentives and it is very difficult to find a critical or negative review from any of them. MF may be a nice guy, but his opinions are comical for various reasons.
