They're the MOPAD isolation pad from the Auralex ISO series. Each foot is made up of 2 wedges so you can tweak it so that it's angled or have it completely flat.

Do they make much of a difference in audio quality for you? I've been wondering whether it would be worth buying some.

It sounds cleaner than with rubber feet which was already better than not using feet at all. The added height is also a plus. :)

This is my desktop. Pretty rad, eh?

I like! Can you tell me which widgets those are on the right and also where can I find the clock/calendar that you have in the upper left? Thanks

Those are the widgets from Rainmeter. The part on the right is the standard part and the clock and date is apart of the Simple Rainmeter theme.

I used to like rainmeter, but I tend to change wallpapers a lot, meaning I would then have to organize a whole new rainmeter theme every few days. CBF.

Here's my setup which I finished recently, after painting and redecorating for 6 months. Bought the Martin Logans, subwoofer (Energy ESW-C10 for only $75 on ebay, $325 off!), Cowon S9+Turbines (not seen here) and I am satisfied. Hopefully upgraditis wont kick in for another year..I need to support my photography beginnings, which is surprisingly more expensive than audio 

The room. It looks like theres only one power cord coming from the desk but thanks to zip-ties, I "managed" all my cables directly under the desk. Under the desk is absolutely atrocious 

The desk, Martin Logan Motion 4's are on the homemade wall-stands...

Rear view, with the PSBs 

The amp

The laptop is just a 'decoy', under the bed lies the real beast (more like my dad's "old" server which I slapped Win7 on). I only know it has a 980X and 16GB RAM, nothing else is too special but the combo is perfect for efficient photo+video editing.

Anyways, the setup:

Foobar2000 > Maverick Audio D1 tube out > Harman/Kardon HK3390, which powers:

          Energy ESW-C10 

          Martin Logan Motion 4's (up front)

          PSB B25s (On Sanus SF30 steel 30-inch stands)

All connected using some 16 gauge speaker wire and banana-plugs. The extra beefiness in the wire is nice, considering I got the 100ft roll for $10 and the pack of 16 bananas for $15.

After more than half a year, it is complete! Thanks to Ikea and much, much, much work over the summer and fall to help with funds. I only wish my phone hadn't been stolen so I could show the "before" pictures, it was quite drastic.

Beautiful! That is my kind of style....clean, uncluttered. Bravo!

You could always.. turn them around 180 degrees..

I lol'd...

I'm currently using a pair of English-Swedish dictionaries to tilt my desktop speakers up...  It definitely helps imaging and soundstaging when paired with toeing in, with the speakers so close and so low.

Dang dude....nice setup...only thing missing is some kind of amazing chair to sit down in.....i can see why you took 6 months too....gorgeous and amazing lack of visible wire....i like that!
