Pictures of your computer rigs! Post them here! - Page 12

A couple cool shots from Jungson.

I just got new Denon D2000 headphones over the weekend. The new gear buzz has motivated me to post a picture of my desktop listening setup. The picture is a couple months old so you'll have to imagine that I've got the D2000 sitting on the desk. I still need to get a hanger/hook for them so they'll have a proper place to be.

Equipment in the picture
Vista, J. River Media Center, M-Audio FW 410, Mackie Big Knob, AV123 x-head, M-Audio BX8a monitors, ART HD215 EQ, cheap Techniques TT
Sennheiser HD-600, Grado SR60, Denon AH-D2000 (hiding in the future)
Desk is an Ikea Jerker with a keyboard tray cannibalized from another desk

The EQ is for the monitors. I only use it for the adjustable high-pass/low-cut filter. Sometimes I need to cut the bass back on the monitors to keep it from getting boomy or annoying people in adjacent rooms.

The desk there is an original Ikea Jerker. Unfortunately it has been discontinued by Ikea.

My post of my setup (above) has an Ikea Jerker ver. 2. Unfortunately that desk was discontinued by Ikea a few years ago.

Google for Ikea Jerker and you'll find that the desk had a bit of a fan club. A nice feature is that the desks were modular and adjustable for different setups. Optional side shelves, optional top shelves, and other Ikea options. The replacement for the Jerker is the Ikea Fredrik, a smaller desk with not as many shelving options.

No. It's a perfect test. It's unflawed. You can listen to entire songs in ABX, or just remix ur tracks to one song easily.

"brain gets confused with quickly changing data."
Totally unfounded and rediculous. I've done ABX tests, and they are pretty easy and straight forward.

You can't pass it, now you're rationalizing. All of your arguments are based on the fact that your ears aren't very good. :/

This effects anything and everything in the same circumstance, even our brains, yes?. I try to think rationally.

Well, since you're smarter than Einstein, I guess you win again.

Ya, you're actually right, but I was making a point of the very low EM in general. Bad analogy :/.

Light isn't effected by EM anywhere near where an electrical current is. There is no reason data coming out will be different than going in.

I'm staying away from this. I've been pretty logical with everything else.

Theres no suppourt here man. I've checked high and low for proof of packet loss in a digital/optical connection. I can't find it. Digital is either right or wrong. It's in 1's and 0's. Theres not a divided opinion on this.

Really?
What does it sound like?

Jitter happens. It's measured in picoseconds. It's present in all digital audio. You can correct it a bit, but it's not going away. This has been overexaggerated around head-fi.
I'd bet you can't ABX a super-jittery source vs a 0 jitter(not really possible in digital).

No. It's not needed.

I agree.

:/

Experience as an audio conspiricist or a listener?

You're the one making completely absurd claims. I think I stand on the rational, reasonable, logical side of this debate.

I'm done.

ABX is like nipples on a male hog.

haveblue you need to get an emu0202/0404 and control your setup from there and not crouch under your desk to reach sub control every time you want to adjust volume

hmm i've thought about putting my amp under my monitor as well.... how's the height? doesn't it strain your neck from looking up?

Actualy , it wasn't comfotable setup... So I moved amp right. It's height is 70mm
Now it's somethink like this:

what mac compatible keyboard is that?

looks like the logitech dinovo edge, it's a windows keyboard.

My current kit

Trancer, how does that AD700 sound out of that Fiio E5? Been eyeballing one for myself.

Here's my setup
