Would you be so kind as to provide a high res version of that turntable shot, at least 2560x1440? I want to make it my wallpaper :]

 
Here you go.  It scaled down to 2560 x 1706.  Thanks for asking!

My dealer pretty much leaves whatever table he has hooked up on when he's in the shop.
 
It's no more scary than cueing something up. I love it, especially since the Amadeus takes a long time to spin up to speed. 
 
Always powered down with my Scout but with a mat table you can flip when it's on no problem.

Thanks!
 
 
Yea, I always turn the turntable off when flipping sides.  I also did this with the stock platter though.

Yup.. the Bifrost/Lyr drive all of them pretty well.  Had the HD650 and it was nice with the Lyr.  Hooked up the LCD2 to the Bifrost/Lyr at a HeadFi meet and it was outstanding.  Just picked up the HE500 today and it's pretty amazing with the combo. Going to take a while to break in.  Honestly, if you have the HE500, skip the HD650 and go for the LCD2.  Of all three, I think the HD650 would get the least love.  Just my opinion.

I have the HE-500 of the 3..looking to either pick up the 650 or LCD 2 sometime in the future..
 
Think the LYR/Bifrost combo is sufficient to drive them?

Everyone has such neat and clean setups. Me... not so much.
 
 

headphones: Grado SR325is, Grado HF-1, Beyer COP
amps: Nuforce DAC-100 and HAP-100
other stuff in picture: alligator clips, tweezers, screwdriver, mini screwdrivers, post it notes, opamps, cables, empty padded envelopes, tin of bandaids
just outside the picture: a multimeter (I was measuring the outputs on the amps)
 
 

My glorious headphone stand composed of an empty cd spindle hanging from a twist tie wedged between some boxes. Oh yeah, and a Brainwavs HM3. Behind it: an envelope with miscellaneous earpads, another bag with miscellaneous cables, a computer speaker, water bottle, and some extra bubble wrap. Above it: a mysterious box labelled MISC PARTS. I don't even remember what's in the box anymore. I'm a little afraid to look. Next to the mystery box are... more mystery boxes. Unlabelled. Zounds!

I've always believed that chaos on the outside means an ordered mind. A need for order on the outside means chaotic mind.

In the picture above: JDS Labs O2+ODAC combo, Toshiba SD-3960 DVD player (which is also an excellent CD player), Pure i-20 iPod Dock and DAC/Transport, iPod Classic 6th gen 120GB loaded with ALAC tracks and playing John Coltrane’s Blue Train into my HD-600s. Oh, and a Seagate FreeAgent 500GB external hard drive and a box of kleenex but those aren't related to the setup, of course.
 


 
And in case you're curious about what's above the setup...
 

 
Because yes, I am a massive nerd.

Living in a mess means that there's a whole lot you're having to keep track of in your head for no good reason. "Where did I leave _______" just doesn't happen here.
Everything has its place, and if it's not being used, it goes back where it belongs.
I can't sit back and really relax and enjoy the music if the place is a mess.

Messy people are either lazy, or they own too much stuff.
Nah man, Halo is totally mainstream now. :wink:
Halo dolls are not though.
