    Show us your Head-Fi station at it's current state. No old pictures please...

    I straight-up can't go back to standard LCD screens anymore. The perfect blacks of OLED outweigh any brightness advantage of LCDs to me. And in a pitch black room I don't think I'd really like a TV that hits 2000+ nits.

    Yep! LG CX, 55". At the time I wanted the 48" because I thought 55" would be too big for my room, but the 55" was actually cheaper. Now that I've moved, and have a much bigger space, I'm glad I got the 55"! Hell, I even have space for bigger, when the time comes to upgrade.

    Not "head-fi" station exactly, but I recently moved and the new house has an addition on one of the bedrooms that I am now using for my home theater. It's still not complete; I need some more acoustic treatment (the acoustic panels on the left side, for example, are temporary), bass traps, need...

    Got a new house; much bigger than my last. This has opened up the ability to have a little home theater. Not done yet, but she's coming along nicely!

    Cat-Fi

    He's just shy of a year old. He's super handsome, but an odd duck. He's very talkative, and he even grunts when he plays. It's also kinda funny that his color basically disappears in the winter.

    Playing Code Vein yet again. Dunno why I always come back to this game, but every time I play it I play the exact same build. At this point the game is almost easy to me. I run through entire sections without needing to use heals, and some of the bosses I fell on my first try. I hope one day...

    Has anybody else run into this? My dog, for whatever reason, likes to chew my cats' whiskers off. Both Maru and Yuki let her do it, and I have no idea why. You would think that, at the very least, it'd be a sensory overload for them and they'd want to make it stop.

    Still going hard on Dragon's Dogma 2. Have some updated thoughts on it after having beat the game a couple times. I initially played through as melee classes, as those were my favorites in the first game. Aside from a few steps back from the first game, overall the new balancing is better on...

    I have enjoyed, and hated some of these. Now what?

    What aspect of a closed-back headphone are you looking for? Isolation or bass response? If it's bass response the only recommendation I have is the Hifiman HE-R9. They have, hands down, the best bass I've heard in a headphone, regardless of price. It's high in level, to be sure, but it retains...

    Post Your Video Game Screenshots!

    While maybe not cutting edge, I really love how Dragon's Dogma 2 is able to capture the look of fantasy art.

    One final SSD for my computer, as I literally don't have the PCI-E lanes for more. It's sort of an odd purchase for me, because I don't need the space, and I'm not using it as "intended". That is, I'm not using it as a cache; I'm using it for my photography. Even off my Gen 4 M.2 drives loading...

    With how poorly the game leverages hardware, it would be humorous if it wasn't so frustrating. This is maxed settings at 4k-like resolution. It's like both the CPU and GPU are waiting patiently for the other to do something.

    Been playing Dragon's Dogma 2. Having waited over a decade for it, my hopes were sky-high. I played through the original on PS3, then Dark Arisen on PS3, then played it through endlessly on PC. Even put a good amount of time on the Switch version. I had pretty much squeezed every bit of...

    I decided I need a 7.1 surround setup, so I bought some side speakers. I didn't initially plan on going piano black, but every other finish was out of stock for this model. There's a "newer" model that costs $500 more, but that's entirely not worth it for me. And boy, am I glad I got these in...

    I can't stop fawning over Maru's tail. It's the fluffiest tail I've ever seen. He's like 40% tail fluff.
