Inside the system

Large active Genelec 1039A and 1038BC monitors anchor BAR•TON’s studio-derived system. A room-within-a-room approach integrates acoustic treatment into the construction, making the enclosure around the listeners part of the installation. Technics SL-1200 MK4 turntables and two restored Akai GX-F71 cassette decks provide analogue sources. Headphone electronics rotate among Cambridge Audio, SMSL and Beyerdynamic, with Canare shielded copper cabling. The emphasis is on monitor-based playback and several ways to hear physical media.

Inside the system

ifAUDIO restored Tannoy Arundel Super Red loudspeakers, developing replacement crossovers and custom cabinets for the installation. An Audio Research SP14 preamplifier works with two Classic 120 monoblocks; a Cambridge Audio CXN100 provides digital playback. The modified Tannoys are a venue-specific installation, rather than an untouched factory configuration.
