Okay, let's try again.

Now that's an escape room! Very nice indeed!

A little detail, I built the rack in two days from a kit of wire shelves provided by ULIne. I then took cabinet grade Birch plywood, had it cut to size, then stained and Poly'd the sheets. I brought this project in under 1/4 of what a custom rack would've cost. I was looking at some nice products from companies such as RigidRack or SolidSteel, but either of those would've run me close to $2,000. This setup is steady as a big rock and founded on a cement floor. Ain't no resonancez happening here!!!

Wow! That looks like paradise and so enviting! Nice setup.

How about Wes Montgomery and some bourbon?

I don't drink...so how about some Grant Green + Canadian tea & biscuits?

Have to comment on the Stressless chair. I'm impressed as hell by that, also envious--while I have free rein to get whatever orthopedic office chairs I like (I have 3 Steelcase Leap v1s + a Criterion), I've never messed around with equally supportive chairs for the living room/man cave. And in sad point of fact, I won't be able to get into it: my wife has thoroughly & very competently decorated the living spaces in our home, and there's no place for this kind of chair.

So I'll just have to admire your chair from afar...also admire the clear lineage to Eames chairs, many mint iterations of which I've seen at high-end auctions.

A wise statement!

We each have our "inner child" (mine is often on the outside, making trouble--but I digress). In my experience w/high end audio & now headphone & desktop audio, I know it's all in service of my inner child's needs (he loves music w/senseless passion).

That was one of the things that drew my eye to it. Backstory, my wife and I were shopping for living room furniture. This was not in the plans, but the store was offering excellent zero interest financing, and as this was fairly pricey, we decided to take advantage of the offer.

This is where I am at. I took a journey into more expensive things only to decide that, for my ears and music taste, the HD-600 and family are the best, most natural sounding headphones. I am pairing them with a variety of good tubes on the equally unpretentious WA3.

I had it, I sold it, then missed the tactile experience of small adjustments. Bought it again. To be honest, I don't use it much, just small adjustments on the odd track that has too much bass, etc. The RME EQ is for more substantial EQ adjustments stored as profiles like on the Nighthawk.

New DAC arrived yesterday with a linear power supply. Experiencing a whole new level of my HD800s. This headphone probably responds dramatically than any other headphones out there to a change in the system which could be a good thing or a bad thing...being so picky! It does not guarantee that it will produce a desired sound but it sure does reveal what the component does within the system chain. And I DO sure like what I hear this time !

What earpads are those?
