Excuse my ignorance but what's the air compressor for the turntable?

Air driven / suspended system.

Thanks. +T

That's completely insane. Who knows though? If we all had that $ to play with , we'd probably come up with some crazy stuff too. He's probably made arrangements to be buried in that room as well. :)

I'd prolly listen to music in that room if I owned it.  Maybe... :-\

I bet sports radio sounds sick in there.

Tickets are dead to me.  Except the ones I have, don't have, and lost.  Not to mention the ones you have, don't have, and lost.   And the ones that other dude has, doesn't have, and lost.  Let me know if you need some tickets, I'm happy to oblige.

After reading the reviews I'm surprised....   Dude spends $75k on a record player and it doesn't even self level that fancy smancy air balancing system.

From the review:
Quote
I simply pushed a switch and, within a few minutes, the +200-lb plinth had risen on a bed of air supplied by the air-suspension system. I had to level it pneumatically via three small knurled knobs. This is critical—the frictionless arm will slide in toward the record center or out the other way if the 'table isn't precisely leveled. In fact, the only way to level it correctly is to counterbalance the arm/cartridge with a temporary counterweight (I made one from a pipe cleaner and a wood screw).

$75k and you're using a wood screw and pipe cleaner to balance ::)

was apogee involved in the design process?

I swear if that was my rooms I wouldn't have any friends either because I'd be in there all day and only come out to go to bed.  I'd love to just sit down in there one afternoon.  ;D

If I were to ever have a room like that or a sub like the one posted, well I wouldn't have it for long.  Spending all my time with my $$$$$$$ system would probably put me in front of a judge and the wife would be taking it.  I'd make sure and get the dog to hit her where it really hurts  ;D ;D  Who am I kidding she would never let me do any of it in the first place.  Now putting that kind of money into a boat (Sunsation 32' Dominator with twin blown Merc 525's) and a 2500HD to tow it is a different story!
