Redesigning my listening room: new turntable, floor-standing Paradigm speakers, equipment rack

I don't know what came over me, but as soon as I got my new turntable in, and then a huge Paradigm speaker upgrade landed in my lap, I thought I had to reconfigure things in my listening room to make it all work. I don't know that I want I did is aesthetically the best decision, but it sure has made a sonic improvement! I'll be dialing in the precise speaker placement and tow over time, but I thought I'd do an overview of the flurry of activity in my space over the last 48 hours.

If you're new to my channel, what you can expect from me is a vinyl collector's approach to the jazz genre. For years, I've only collected vintage pressings and prioritized originals of Blue Note, Prestige, Savoy, Bethlehem, Riverside, New Jazz, and more classic labels. Lately, with the resurgence of the medium and more collectors coming to the space, the music industry has taken notice and prioritized putting out high quality reissues of some of the best albums ever recorded. Subscribe to my channel to watch me navigate how to rationalize how I used to buy vs. how I buy vinyl records today.
