shiny.... sooo shiny.... must have....
At first I saw that and thought wow cool a vintage fan that's been polished up but then I realized it's size and USB???? That has to be the coolest usb peripheral thing I have seen, ever. WHERE DID YOU GET THAT FROM? I can't make out the faint writing in the middle of the guard on it. I want one or two of those right away!!!!!
THANKS!!!!

For all of you who have both active speakers and headphones, what do you use to switch back and forth between them and to control the volume?  Currently I have a Maverick D1 which I can use as a headphone amp and preamp, but there's no  way to mute the output to the speakers so they constantly play. Is it worth upgrading to the Audio gd FUN or should I get a passive volume control, like the NHT PVC?

^ Wouldn't it be cheaper/simpler to just plug your speakers into a power strip for a convenient on/off switch?

Here's mine... first pic is my main custom-built gaming/audio rig, and the second is my night stand showing my favorite headphone amp and headphones.  First of all, please disregard all wires, and all traces of dust!  Second of all, yes, that is a folding banquet table from Staples for like $40.  I'll get another desk sometime, but the KRK RP5G2/10s came first.

I have since added a bit of headfi gear, but I need to clean the desk off before a photo op.
