The mess known as my computer/hifi setup in the attached pic. Sorry for the awful picture quality. I probably could have done much, much better I had spent some time with the settings... The camera was a Nikon D40 so there IS potential for a lot better pics.
My computer rig is nothing special but It's good enough for me (Well, almost. DDR3 memory and either dual core graphics or Crossfire wouldn't hurt...
I also NEED a second display to Google people's audio gear while browsing the forums on my main screen. Oh yeah, and Foobar on the second screen would be a must.
).
The exact specs - as if someone cared...:
AMD Phenom II 955BE overclocked to 210x17=3570MHz (Nortbridge at 2,31GHz and Hypertrasport @ 2,2GHz)
Kigston HyperX 4x1GB DDR2-800 overclocked to DDR2-1120, timings 5-5-5-15
Asus M4A78 Pro motherboard
Sapphire HD4870 graphics card overclocked to 800MHz (core)/900 MHz (memory)
Audio: please see signature
Operating system: Windows 7 pre-release (yes, it seems to be surprising stable for an RC...)
Lousy overclocks on the processor, I know. This mobo is holding me back.
And on the audio side, say hello to my few weeks old Beresford TC-7520 and my less than two days old K601's. The new 'phones have about 20 hours of burn-in so far. You probably think I'm crasy now when I say this but the 'phones I had before those K601's were K701's. I just feel 601's sound more neutral and, I could even say, more transparent. The feeling of transparency is probably just because of the flatter frequecy response. This has puzzled me for a long time: why would a higher-end model (K701) have a less neutral frequency response? During my 8 or so months using the 701's I could't find anything positive about the not-so-neutral frequency response.
Whoops, it seems like this became quite a monster for a post. And this is a picture thread after all.
Just try to bear with me.
Anyway, the pic's down there as an attachment.
