Description

This is the system I have in my machine shop- a one car detached garage in back of my house. It sounds better than my Denon based home theater system. My kid hogs the home system playing X-box, and I can listen to what I want as loud as I want in the shop.

The shop includes a 1965 Bridgeport milling machine, 9" lathe, and all the tooling to build a 3/4" scale Shay locomotive live steam model.

Added a turntable, rack I had in the house for another system, HD tuner, and phono stage.

I have seen a real Shay at Roaring Camp, in Felton, CA. Can't beat live steam, tube audio and vinyl!
