Mood lighting for listening


Mood lighting for listening.

Photos of my secondary system.

Loving my new MC Modern record cabinet. Now that I’ve added legs, I don’t have
to crouch down much to access the vinyl. This cabinet holds 1940’s-1962 music.
Red glass front and back, so the light shines through.

Adding that LED light strip gave it a nice magical feeling. I like the fact that it looks cleaner than looking at a bunch of record spines.

Parasound Integrated, and a couple of nice old Pioneer TT’s. Dali Helikon speakers.

Mood lighting might be nice but I usually turn down the lights very low, or even off, when doing real listening if you know what I mean.

I've got room treatment, fabric covered pillers in the corners behind the stand mounts. On the pillers, the "now playing" album cover holder on one side and a sputnik lamp with very low wattage bulbs on the other. It's dark enough to reduce visual distractions, but light enough that I don't fall over my sleeping dogs when it's time to change a record. The last side of an album or streaming with a sleep timer takes place in total darkness.

I’ve tried some LED lighting and the ones with a transformer created a nasty hum when turned on. Waste of money.
