  Another small update.  Finally got a new belt in for my Tandberg 3000X.  Listened to some Bill Evans, sounds sublime.
 

 

 

Well lookee there!  
 
I've borrowed a friend's to transfer a few.

  My (very!) modest work setup - Numark uDAC-2, AKG K450. Mostly flacs of my CD collection played via VLC.

The K450s may retire shortly, being replaced by either the K240s I've been using at home or a pair of HD650s - but anyway, this is what it looked like three minutes ago.  :)
 
 

 
Awww those AKG K450 bring some memories!!! Those where my first great cans. I still have them although I don´t use them so oft.

Pre-deconstruction... currently working on an entirely new setup on a new desk and new room layout.
 
My Stax are also missing in action - I get my amp back tomorrow. So excited!

  I had them for less than an hour before I recabled for balanced... (single entry, hacked the stock cable)
 
Senn HD598 into Nuforce HA-200 monoblocks, fed from Echo2.
 
Really didn't like the Senn from the Echo2 headphone out, but put it on the monos and whoa!

That's a lot of effort to go through for the HD598; do they really sound that much better through the dual HA-200s?

Huge difference. It could have been just a bad matchup with the Echo2, but I didn't have any other single ended amps set up. Yeah I know setting up an amp would have been way less work than recabling... but hey now I have a 598 that can do both.

My DNA Sonett 2 has arrived today. It's time to have a good evening of listening. Hope I'll have enough pleasure to keep this rig a long time.
