I've finally finished building my rig. There are 17 cables in the audio chain alone(not including PC and TV cables) and it is a massive pain to move. I will eventually get some speakers, although so far I haven't been too impressed with what I've auditioned ( and my room will undoubtedly have terrible acoustics ). Still - I can finally relax on the couch with main system playing - I've done it today for the first time and it was a bliss.

Which amp is that?

Here is my endgame as of 2023. Just got the Topping to go with this new Meze as it didn’t pair with the Quad too well as microphonics and crackling are annoying. Liric did not have the issue FWIW

Those meze ear cups wearing a shower cap?

Those meze ear cups wearing a shower cap?

They are nice earphone covers. I carefully trace the outline of the openings of all my headphones. Doesn't effect sound and keeps your skin's oils off of the leather/pads hence extending their lives dramatically, esp. in summer. You can't see but I also custom hand-sew soft velour covers for the headbands (thin) that protects the band from the same and makes it more comfortable long-term without messing up fit. It's a pain, but if you like crafts it's worth the time. The marble stands were also all custom made by me as i couldn't find a pre-fab that looked nice enough.
