That old school desk is so beautiful! When I was (much) younger I was into calligraphy and had a set of calligraphy pens (as opposed to the fountain pen in your photo - the calligraphy pens looked similar but had the nib cut at a slant) and I enjoyed stylised writing on high quality paper. Writing real letters to real people, back in the day! So your photo evoked some lovely memories for me. The valve-amp and pipes really set the scene!

I wish my handwriting was good enough for calligraphy ! My hand writing is almost a toddler level... I only collect fountain pens for collecting purposes but I should really practice my handwriting. But I do sure love smoking some pipe time to time

Sure man! That's a Woo audioA 22, Matrix Audio MQA X-Sabre Pro, Headamp GSX Mini and a Holo Spring 2 Wild Edition. Cheap adjustable stand from Amazon, and a walnut block from Butcher Block Acoustics.

Hey man, thanks for pointing out the Butcher Block. I just ordered one for my VPI Scout!

It'll probably be more useful for your TT. I got it just for looks.. Because without it, the dead space above the dac is just too much for me.. Enjoy man!

I have a pair on order as well, and I just received notice that they have shipped!!! I opted for a longer cable and some custom color combos.

My new speakers have arrive, they sound incredible but a pain to setup as they weigh a ton! Going to be tinkering with these for quite a while but the clarity is amazing so far.

the custom shop page basically links to an Amazon site that shows a bunch of different colors, so I assume that's where he gets his paracord from.

Congrats on the new kefs. Are those the Ref 3? I was looking into the ref line before I got my Magicos. I used to have LS50 and Dynaudio C1 platinums. It took time to find a speaker that I really like but in the end it is worth the search.

If at all possible try to pull them out from the wall some. Are you listening to them while seated at the desk? I used to have my speakers setup like this and I removed the desk from between them and the improvement is incredible. The sound stage is much deeper and imaging is improved.

I've never had an opportunity to hear them, but those Magicos are beautiful. Great looking color and finish to them.

Thank you they do a great job with the automotive finishes on their speakers in the s line. It can be hard to find a place to audition Magico as most dealers are located near the larger cities. That is the one great thing about headphones with places like the cable co. That have a lending library.

Those are some nice looking speakers you have there! Mine are indeed the Reference 3s. When I do proper chilled out listening I normally wheel back a few feet which improves the sound a bit. I definitely plan on creating my own listening space but it will have to wait until I have my own place which hopefully should be by the end of this year Corvid-19 depending.

Put the (almost) final touches on my happy place (sounds better than "man cave", doesn't it?). Just waiting for delivery of a Butcher Block Acoustics platform for the TT, and a couple new Hart cables. I recently added the Panamax for safety, and a Chord Huei phono stage. That and dressed the room up a bit with some artsy stuff and greenery.

Nice! Who is that in the picture above your monitor?
