Down with TN panels


Woohoo! Yeah!

What speaker isolation pads are you using? I'm looking to buy some and I like that they don't aim down like most do.

They're the MOPAD isolation pad from the Auralex ISO series. Each foot is made up of 2 wedges so you can tweak it so that it's angled or have it completely flat.

Do they make much of a difference in audio quality for you? I've been wondering whether it would be worth buying some.

It sounds cleaner than with rubber feet which was already better than not using feet at all. The added height is also a plus. :)

Hey, there's a Dr Pepper in there, that makes it awesome (although the diet version sucks)
 
It is out of subject but diet soda is even worst for health than regular soda because they only replace sugar with the dangerous aspartam.

Here's my setup which I finished recently, after painting and redecorating for 6 months. Bought the Martin Logans, subwoofer (Energy ESW-C10 for only $75 on ebay, $325 off!), Cowon S9+Turbines (not seen here) and I am satisfied. Hopefully upgraditis wont kick in for another year..I need to support my photography beginnings, which is surprisingly more expensive than audio

The room. It looks like theres only one power cord coming from the desk but thanks to zip-ties, I "managed" all my cables directly under the desk. Under the desk is absolutely atrocious

The desk, Martin Logan Motion 4's are on the homemade wall-stands...
 

 
Rear view, with the PSBs 
 

 
The amp
 

 
 
The laptop is just a 'decoy', under the bed lies the real beast (more like my dad's "old" server which I slapped Win7 on). I only know it has a 980X and 16GB RAM, nothing else is too special but the combo is perfect for efficient photo+video editing.
 
Anyways, the setup:
 
Foobar2000 > Maverick Audio D1 tube out > Harman/Kardon HK3390, which powers:
          Energy ESW-C10 
          Martin Logan Motion 4's (up front)
          PSB B25s (On Sanus SF30 steel 30-inch stands)
 
All connected using some 16 gauge speaker wire and banana-plugs. The extra beefiness in the wire is nice, considering I got the 100ft roll for $10 and the pack of 16 bananas for $15.
 
After more than half a year, it is complete! Thanks to Ikea and much, much, much work over the summer and fall to help with funds. I only wish my phone hadn't been stolen so I could show the "before" pictures, it was quite drastic.

You could always.. turn them around 180 degrees..


I lol'd...
 
I'm currently using a pair of English-Swedish dictionaries to tilt my desktop speakers up...  It definitely helps imaging and soundstaging when paired with toeing in, with the speakers so close and so low.
