So I finally cleaned up my desk enough to take a picture of it. Unfortunately the still did not come out great. My room is small and I was forced to shoot with my fisheye lens. Fun lens but maybe I should have saved up for a 14-24 or 25-70 instead. Well they aren't really in the same price range as mine, so maybe that is why. 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Nice setup man! I see you have the Leben CS300xs that Skylab had for sale on the forums a couple weeks ago, I almost pulled the trigger on it

Those old Pioneers are beautiful, I have a 1250 in the shop right now for service. Still haven't heard it with the LCD-2s, I'm looking forward to when they meet.

The Leben is from Skylab, I am not sure if you checked my feedback. I am very happy with it. My Pioneer is the 950 not the1250, so I am a little jealous about that. I am sure they are very similar, and even if they sounded identical, the 1250 still looks so much cooler.

Has anyone mentioned Human Scale yet? They make a pretty nice desk chair. They run around the same price as HM chairs but the slightly more contemporary styling and ease-of-use (which is surprisingly important in an ergonomic chair) which is something that makes them maybe just a little more enticing.

I looked at herman miller/human scale but ended up with RHLogic 400 .I find it perfect for sustained usage and very comfrotable to boot , its infinately adjustable. My wife has a herman miller aeron chair and its a great chair but felt more at home on the RH

Those are the chairmats made for carpet, you can get chairmats without the spikes.


I'll have to look into that

Unomelodica, what do you use the Xbox HD-DVD drive for?

I thought about doing an Unraid server, I forgot what made my decision to go with FreeNAS, but I have been happy with it. I just wish you could add in new drives to a raid 1+0 ZFS array. I suppose the ZFS has nothing to do with why you can't, its just how I have it set up.

You can't modify a ZRAID to add more drives to it. You can, however, add more ZRAIDs to a ZPOOL. So if you had a ZRAID-1 with 3 drives you could add another ZRAID-1 of three drives to the pool. If all drives were 2 TB you'd end with 8TB of usable storage.
 
My guess would be your choice to go FreeNAS over Unraid is the same as the reason I'm going to: ZFS is file-system based and Unraid is software-based. If your system dies with Unraid you could lose all data where you could just drop the drives into another box and recover them if you were using ZFS. You can't even always say that with RAID5.

That is likely the reason. It has been a year or so since building my server so I don't remember all of the research. I am concerned about data loss, which is why I have everything in raid 1. I know you can add add new drives to the ZPOOL, which is what I will do for now.

Nice gear TruBrew.
Is that the Pioneer sx-1250 receiver...have heard a lot of good things about it for headphone listening
 
I have a Leben amp too and am looking to buy the LCD-2 and a DAC (leaning towards the new minimax Plus).
