here's my combination HT/2-channel/headphone setup.  The built in cabinet was there when I bought the house 18 yrs ago.  There's no rear access to the gear so wiring becomes a major challenge at times as I have to pull out the equipment until I can get to the rear, hopefully without pulling other cables out.  The doors do not get closed much as I use this a lot

 

the whole deal w assorted phones atop the speakers

 

gear above the tv
 

gear below the TV includiing audio gd phoenix and EC ZDT

Gary is about time you posted some pictures! How is the EC doing? BTW I do not see the real "master" in the pictures! 

 

[gjkphd]

hey thanks Miguel, I had nothing to do this am so I took these photos.  The EC is tremendous, full and detailed with great bass extension.  Sound good w all the phones incl my newest edition, The Edition 8.  Monty, the real master, turns 15 next week, still going strong

Your speakers match that built in cabinet beautifully, I'm sure that your significant other approves. That is amazing stuff, headphone and otherwise, you made my mouth drop at the Eddie amp.

oh thanks logwed, ,  the loudspeakers are from a small company-Reimer, actually not a company but a guy from Cody Wyoming who was the customer service manager at the Cody Walmart by day and speaker builder by night. Really.  I sent him some stain samples so he could match the cabinets.  Sadly, I dont' think he's making speakers anymore

I love your ZDT/Audio-GD Phoenix headphone amp. combo. I had a Audio-GD Phoenix and found it not just a great SS headphone amp but also a fine sounding balanced pre-amp.
 
I would love to try my K1000 with the ZDT.

If you want to drive down to Miami you can try the K1000 on the ZDT

 

[Audiogalore]

Great, sound like a plan.

Thank you everyone who keep me drool for quite awhile with all beautiful rigs you have, every system so inspiring to those who fall in love with music and sound system.
 
This is the system I have now and they sings beautifully.. 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Very nice system, love the B&W photo choice.  I almost bought a WES from Jack at the NC Can Fest.  It was a tossup between the A-10 and a standard black demo WES and I had my O2Mk1 with me to test them.  One of the toughest choices I ever had to make, but Ray had a premium tube compliment installed on the A-10 and it may have tilted the balance towards it.  Jack even said as much and I have absolutely no reason to doubt him.

Although I did not listen to them side by side my recollection is the Sony Qualia walks all over the R10. I am not one too impressed by the R10, I also prefer the MarkL modded Denon to the R10.

Paired with this maxxed Cary SLI80 your opinion of the R10 would probably change in a positive way.  Much better pairing with the R10 than the Apache.  I have yet to audition the MarkL modded Denon, but I've heard good things.

I love that this is called the "bedroom rig".  It seems analogous to calling the Taj Mahal a "burial plot".  Beautiful collection of gear...I'm sure it sounds even better than it looks! 
 

 

Well, it is in my bedroom, next to my bed...

  Thanks for the compliments, it is a dream come true for me.

It's only that when I think "bedroom rig", I think of an iPod with some SR60's...

How high is high end? I'm just posting and if these are not quite to the stand of this thread, I'll still be proud that I've posted some thing

. For this is headfi, I'll stick to my headphone system

The definition of high-end is pretty vague, but I would say that qualifies.
