Two Klipsch La Scala Heritage mains work with four Heresy Heritage IV speakers and two R-121 SW subwoofers. McIntosh C22 and MC152 electronics accompany a Luxman M-02, giving the multi-speaker installation several amplification and control components.

Two Technics SL-1210 M5G turntables and a Condesa Carmen V rotary mixer form the vinyl booth. Nakamichi 700 II cassette and Pioneer H-R100 eight-track machines broaden the physical-media collection. Six Douk T4 units and SIVGA SV021 headphones support individual listening, alongside the room system.
