Just updated my virtual system

Yes, I saw the center channel in your pic.

How about a link to your blog, and also what cables are you using (DIY?)?

I'll be experimenting with Canare 4S11 as speaker cable for a mini system to listen to while @ the computer (first time I've tried stranded wire in the past 20 years, or so).

Had hoped to use screw down banana plugs for convenience (even though I prefer bare ends) but can't find the ones I purchased from Percy years ago, so bare ends it is.

Good thing you moved from LA as the weather here has been unbearable lately (ranging from the mid 60's to the mid/upper 70's;-).

The screw down banana’s are really helpful for the HT receiver which really won’t be happy with anything else. For my speaker cables I used these for the amp to crossover:

Then a combination of WBT (great) and Furutech (meh!) locking bananas to the speaker drivers.

Our weather here has been pretty good. Being on the coast we actually get temperature buffering from the ocean climate, so nothing nearly as bad as say Ohio or New York this year, but we were in the high 80’s with humidity already.

The line level cables are detailed out in the system page. All custom with components from PartsConnexion.com

The spades you linked would be fine for this setup (plus they come with shrink wraps), thanks.

Recently started a pen/paper list of links and passwords as this is not the first time we have lost computer stored data.

Next project (after the mini system) is recycling the 5,000, or so, Amazon shipping boxes that have accumulated over the past 2 years.

@dekay  I strongly suggest you use an online password manager.  It helps me go from phone to laptop to PC, and use secure passwords everywhere.

The only time it's a bit of a hassle is when signing in on my TV for Netflix, etc. 

@erik_squires ,

 I really like that butcher block stand! I might have to start saving for my next birthday present to myself.😁

All the best.
