Update to my Audioengine A5+, DIY Stone-Stands. The bass is way better now.

That's a really creative solution raybanner. Also, they look awesome :O

That table's also looks so amazing. Building it yourself must be so satisfying ^^
The only problem is that I forsee some bad injuries if the metal rails aren't flush with the floor board, though I'm sure you accounted for that.

I too really like your desk. Those are MR8's right? I have MR5's AUDIO ORGASM! Haha, what soundcard/DAC do you use for them? Do you have a seperate system for them from your headphone setup? I'm looking into a simple system to switch between my MR5's and my headphones.

Thanks!
Yeah those are mr8's mark 2! And on the left side on the desk I have the fiio e9 and e7
 
I use the line out of the e9 to connect to the monitors, and I can just plugin my headphones and all sound is directed to the headphones. So this works perfect.
 
The only problem is that the e7 disables volume control, so I bought the nano patch+ for volume control.

Who?


A proper fan makes his own content, by the way. Like my excellently drawn impression of Mio.

I did make my own content! I paused the video in 1080p until I found a good shot, then printscreen'd it and cropped! ^^

I know there's at least 2 other Mio's around here on Head-fi

Nice, I'm getting a Focusrite Saffire soon and running my MR5's through the balanced TRS output.

Just finished a rebuild of my rig, combining the digital and analog sources in one place. last piece of the puzzle was the new speakers which i will now proceed to burn in for the recommended 500 hrs *gleep*
 
to clarify - this system is just for audio, i sit on the opposite side of the U-shaped table at a newer silent pc setup

Looks a bit messy but some very nice gear indeed!

I would swap the digital stuff location for the turntable location and just use the remote app on an iDevice. Seems a bit dangerous loading LPs from where it is now.

 

[monkeygod]

@J.Pocalypse - yeah i agree the Turntable placement is less than ideal, but I don't think its actually 'dangerous' to load from that position, just a bit awkward.
Can't justify moving the digital down as I also use it as a ripping station slowly (re) converting about 2500 CDs to Lossless files so it can't just operate with the lid down.
Plus the stability of the dedicated rack (granite and damped aluminium) makes a difference over placing the turntable on the desk.
