I need to get a more recent photo but if you look closely there’s an M1 mini under the LG 5K2K (for HQPlayer / Roon Server)

I used to be a « computer victim « but I almost totaly lost this passion with time (im 35yo) and this old gear is enough for me!
I hope I will keep the passion for music at least…
I’m almost 63, and I’ve been a serious music lover since I first heard DSOM and Europe ‘72 in 1973, nearly 50 years ago (although I was listening to Beatles records long before that). The audio bug naturally followed when I first heard a real top notch rig (Denon Tt w/ black widow tonearm, GAS electronics, and Dahlquist speakers) in college in 1978. And both of my sons (34 and 30), having grown up in a house with good music playing all the time have also been serious music lovers since they were small. We even have a very active thread between the three of us, the primary subject of which is new (or old) music we’ve discovered.

So, it doesn’t go away, at least not for me, although from time to time the focus changes. You’re on a long, strange trip - enjoy the ride!

I'm 65 and like Win 7 era Thinkpads. I don't run a farm like I used to and haven't bought over in 2 years.

I put Win 7 back on one yesterday and am selling it to a guy tonight at a profit of 60% after 4 years use.

I can't see the screen like I used to and if I don't keep typing I'll lose the ability to do so.
I can still build, Admin and run FreeBSD and Linux desktops though.

I got a new box since after trying to live with my fanless Lenovo with 4G of RAM I could not. The Lenovo M75t mini tower is nothing to look at and there are some annoyances but it runs like a scalded cat. Ryzen 7 5750 8 cores/16 threads. I can transcode a 590M album in WAV to FLAC in about 10,2 seconds elapsed even on a bitlocker filesystem (not sure where the crypto overhead goes whether it's done by the drive or the AMD CPU...)

Autonomous standing desk frame and $50 hollow-core tabletop from Ikea

PC - Thermaltake Tower 100 case, Ryzen 5700X, RTX 3080, BeQuiet fans - completely silent unless I'm playing games and then it doesn't matter

Right side of desk (work, Discord, too hot to run the big gear) - Schiit Hel and Audeze LCD-2 with headset cable

Left side of desk (more audio drugs please) - Denafrips Ares II (USB from PC, optical from Wiim Mini, soon to be replaced by AudioGD R28), Mjolnir-modded Stax SRM-727A, Schiit Ragnarok 2 (mostly on speaker amp duty these days) and Schiit Folkvangr

Headphones: Stax SR-007 Mk2, Audeze LCD-4, Koss ESP950 with Stax cable adapter (not fancy but I'm sentimental about it, my first truly hi-fi headphones)

Corners: JBL Studio 580 towers powered by Ragnarok 2

The case is a Cooler Master HAF700 EVO. The CPU is an AMD Ryzen 5950x with a Cooler Master MasterLiquid PL360 FLUX Series 360mm cooler. The motherboard is an ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero with 32GB of Corsair Dominator Platinum DD4 RAM. And most importantly, a ZOTAC RTX 4080 GPU powered by a Seasonic PRIME 1000 Titanium SSR-1000TR 1000W PSU.
