Very nice! Has an understated look of a guy who knows how to pick his gear
Are those the Emu teaks?

Just a big pile o' gear
Most of it is newly acquired. I'm running the Consonance as a tube-pre driving the Job (mind-blowingly good with these speakers) I may do some kind of mini rack. Yes, e-mu teaks.

Those are extra's from the set I had made to label the Purp-Amp's umbilical cables. I use them for the heater cables and connectors.
And it seemed like they belonged on the schiit stack, and they do add a 'splash' of color.

Consonance amp, Mark & Daniel speakers!
Been to China recently?
I haven’t seen the M&Ds outside China before...

I've been craving one of those Consonance Droplets since I first saw one about 15 years ago.

Nope. Just a 6moons whore. I buy whatever Srajen tells me. The M&D are rare, but have been on my radar. When a used pair of Sapphires came up at a bargain price, I snapped them up. Mid-bass to die for, and stellar imaging. The Consonance is great too. Very underrated at the $200 used price they go for (if you can find one)

Nice. Did you buy them new or used?
I'm intrigued by their turntables from an aesthetic standpoint. I'm sure they're great sounding as well. I may have to add it to my growing hifishark notifications

I have been browsing this thread since joining to get a sense of what gear to consider. What I have noticed is there is quite a few set ups with multiple amps, some nearly identical in terms of solid state or tube. Forgive my ignorance as I am a recent convert to the world of head-fi, what is the differentiator for those of you that own multiple amps in the same set up? I understand different types of headphone require specific amps, such as electrostatics and similar. I am really curious as to the approach one should take in acquiring additional gear in the realm of head-fi.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

For many of us, there are no local resources with which to sample this kind of gear. For me, the nearest hifi store is likely a couple of hours away. So for me, and I assume many others, there is a LOT of trial and error involved. Buy this one, hmmm, not quite what I'm looking for. I'll buy this one to compare, then sell the one I don't want. Apply - Lather - Rinse - Repeat!!!!!

BTW, welcome to this insane place. Word of warning, hide your credit card in a place where you'll never find it!!!!

Thank you! I am finding the urge to purchase gear has exponentially increased since dipping my ears into the water, and restraint is quickly disappearing from my vocabulary.
