Thought I'd take a few pictures while there isn't complete chaos on my desk...
 
 

 
 
Meier Audio stuff, a T1, a Squeezebox touch, and a cheap Yamaha micro system. Lacking the CD player though, which died a sudden death two days ago... but then again I hardly use it anymore since the addition of the Squeezebox. I do still buy the CDs anyway :)



That looks sharp!  May I ask where did you got the desk? I am looking to switch out this corner unit someday (it's HUGE!) for a more traditional desk.

Bad pic, sorry. Two setups, for each headphone
 
- LCD-2 Rev 1
- Hifiman HE-500
- Lafigaro 339
- Violectric V100
- Audio GD NFB3
- Rein Audio X-DAC (New Dac/New company)
 
Saturday afternoons are good :)


Any impressions on the Rein Audio X-DAC from Germany?
Understand they are going for USD 780 now

I hope you like dust! Apologies for crappy flash pics:

 
 
The small yellow thing on top of my comp is a MidiSport for my ancient keyboard, lol. Headphones are Senn HD595s, speakers are, well, idk what model, but they're decent AudioSource bookshelf speakers. Dusty receiver is a Pioneer SX-780, sub is from a set of Boston BA7900 5.1 PC speakers. I have a currently inactive Asus Xonar Essence ST (not pictured), currently using FiiO E10 as a DAC and going back-and-forth between E10 and E9 for an amp. E9 serves as a preamp/passthrough for the receiver as well.
 
Portable setup:
 
 
Koss PortaPros (soon to be replaced by a to-be-determined model of Senn earphones), Sansa Clip+ 2GB player+16GB microSD card, and FiiO E6 amp.

It's not exactly the same desk, but very similar. I think mine is a discontinued model, and it was only ~ 80$. Anyway, it's a cheap IKEA desk, so of course it's not made of solid wood and won't last very long. Mine already has a crack in the top plate. I guess I'm going to replace it with a real desk (not IKEA

) next year.

That's an image of a glacier (I think) from the NASA Earth Observatory. There's a lot of fascinating, very high-resolution satellite images on that site. I have a bunch of them set to slideshow and I caught myself more than once just staring at the Desktop...

Quite fond of it actually. Musical, neutral and clear. Not as dark and less focussed on the bass as the Audio GD NFB3, I especially like it with the LCD-2s, it's a great match with the Violectric amp.
Full review is due next week :wink:

Thanks. Hope you had a great trip a while back :)

 
Thanks. I did have a great trip back. KLM is such a great airline. I fell asleep and missed lunch service on the return to the States and when I woke up the flight attendant said they didn't want to wake me but if I wanted my meal now he'd serve it. I said yes--and a La Chouffe please! (No La Chouffe but I had a great flight anyway.) It's almost time to go back!
