Show us your Head-Fi station at it's current state. No old pictures please...
Haha, yes. Nine Inch Nails specifically is my favorite band by a long shot. It's on my bookshelf now! I rearranged my room. I'll be moving soon, so was trying to cut the clutter. I know, I'm down to 325e or Senn 650. I really need to get my Marantz professionally restored...- tribestros

Some new stuff... Pictured is my amp, Marantz 2252B, my Sennheiser collection of 280Pro, Momentum & 558, and my direct drive Pioneer turntable. The hooks for my headphones are from Ikea.- tribestros

Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones Part II
I can give you ten good reasons and I hate Beats. This thread is the most elitist defener circlejerk in the entire forum.- tribestros

Well, I'm also a speaker junkie, so mine has a large footprint. I posted it two pages back I think, I have a NuForce uDAC running into my vintage Marantz 2252B. Fantastic speaker amp but honestly it's a beast of a headphone amp. I was gonna buy a Schiit to complement my old Pioneer...- tribestros

Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners
Welcome to the marantz club. Some would disagree, but there isn't a better vintage IMO than a 70s marantz.- tribestros

The hate on beats, why?
I started working at my local Best Buy in the Home Theater department in 2008. Not long after I started, Beats by Dre became a thing. First, they showed up in the headphone section, innocently enough. Then they had their own endcap. Best Buy, naturally, being Monster's, well, bitch circa 2008...- tribestros

That's a fantastic little setup. Jealous of the small footprint.- tribestros

Lets Talk Metal
Saw them in 2010 at a small club and I'll be seeing them on the 28th in Dallas. If you like shoegaze concerts, go. It's not really much of a metal show IMO, it's much more of a dreamy shoegaze kinda show. But it's fantastic. Although my barometer for metal shows is Dillinger...then everyone else.- tribestros

Just bought Deafheaven's Sunbather on vinyl. What beautiful artwork, and what a beautifully dark album.- tribestros

Thanks! I really stumbled onto it, I was going to buy a new stereo amplifier (I also love speakers) but didn't want to short change my headphones, so I was expecting to spend around $1000. Then this thing fell into my lap, I hadn't even thought about vintage before. It is pretty fantastic...- tribestros

Post A Photograph Of Your Turntable
Got this thing from my girlfriend and was beat to hell. Wouldn't stop spinning, needle was broken, all the buttons were broke...took it to a record repair guy in Denton, and he had it for five months. Couldn't find anything on it, parts were a debacle. Apparently this is a table that...- tribestros

Just got my station back together with my new turntable! Little cluttered, but cozy, just like I like it. Really proud of my vintage/modern mix, such a great sounding system and headphone system. The 2252b is a beast of a headphone amp. Overall room in my apartment. Been working on it for...- tribestros
