And seeing as it's such nice weather here in good Ol' Blighty; ultra-portable listening.
Home sweet home.
Nice fire surround, is that the original Victoria one?

While it doesn't help with the sound, sadly, we do love the Victorian fireplaces. The downstairs fireplaces are ornate like this, and the upstairs fireplaces are less ornate but still beautiful. All original and working. We want to get some Victorian radiators to match, but they are hard to come by ones in excellent condition. Having a house from the late 1800s has its ups and downs, but on the whole, we are very thankful to have it!
On another note. I love this one. My 17 yo just got his first reasonable headphones & amp/ DAC. Couldn't be happier. Lucky kids!

My house is from about 1883 and our fireplace looks very similar but the surround is much more boring lol. I love a good open fire, nice and homely during winter.
@chrisdrop: Looks very inviting!Home sweet home.

Our 1st house (Hudson Valley area of NY State) had been built ~1825. The siding had been fashioned from resawn church pews (probably chestnut), scrap from the 1st iteration of the local Presbyterian church, torn down around that time (really). You could still see the little oval depressions where the nameplates had been screwed. Sadly the siding had been painted dozens of times.
Much as we loved this house, it had been a handyman's special for >150 yrs. Every owner who fancied himself a carpenter had done something or other atrocious to that house. Once I had to open up a wall in the upstairs bathroom, after finding nowhere to securely nail something on the wall...found a single horizontal stud inside the wall (!?!). That kind of thing.
Still, it was a lovely house w/2 active staircases & 2 porches (on of which was on the 2nd floor off MBR); it looked like a Mississippi river boat w/the outside lights on. I had my first good audio system in the LR of that house. Very fond memories.
