I go there when I need sanctuary !! with 2 teenage kids it can get a lot of use. I have an old 50s corner speaker and a 20s BTH speaker in there. I keep some of my vinyl there and all my shellac collection in there {out of harms way } It's a strictly mono set up with a Pye Mozart 10hf amp ,Graham Slee Jazz club phono stage ,Various old GE valve phono stages ,CD recorder and good old valve table top radio .....I put a lot of shellac onto CD for my enjoyment and also clean any New/second hand vinyl there as well "
