Downsized from a gaming PC to a laptop just so I can fit my audio equipment on the table as a "stack" setup.

Double subwoofers all the way across the floor oh my god!...sorry, couldn't resist.

^^^ Wow those last few are amazing! A much more modest setup here...

i7 laptop → UpTone Audio USB REGEN → Schiit Audio Modi 2U → Schiit Audio Magni 2U → Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 250 Ω.

Speakers not shown because I'm in the process of replacing them with what I hope are a pair with better mids: Genelec M030 monitors.

The PonoPlayer stopped by to say hi (res), wearing Westone UM Pro30 IEMs. That Kickstarter seems like ages ago.

Edit: I've been asked about the DT 770 Pro. That is the standard 250 Ω model.
I replaced the stock gray earpads with angled oval versions from Brainwavz.

Trust me! Stereo bass is a must have! Definitely becomes much harder to localize them and the music ends up sounding more full and punchy from many listening places.

Oh, I'm not knocking it. I just saw them, thought basically what I posted, and realized just how much it sounded like double rainbow. So I couldn't help but post it.

Here's my vintage stereo system consisting of my Thinkpad X61 with 4:3 screen ratio running FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p1 playing my digital music collection with XMMS, Pioneer SA-520 tube amp rated at 65 watts per channel I bought around 1980, Optimus 10 band Graphic Equalizer I purchased in 1995, Jensen Model 4 speakers I got as a birthday gift 45 years ago and Koss PRO4AAT headphones I just got today. The X61 doesn't normally sit there and is just for the shot.

Nice setup. I love Robin Trower. I really dig vintage equipment. The sa-520 is a good amp but it isn't a tube amp, it's solid state. If it was tube it would've melted your EQ a long time ago.

I was sure it was, but this video seems to show that you're right. It's packed in too tight for me to pull it out so I'll have to trust the video to be right.



It's all good man. You enjoy it and that's what matters the most.
