When your non-vintage gear becomes vintage gear is when you realise all that has been consumed… !!But the non vintage gear hobby isn't consuming? When did this happen!?
I keep a sheet over them when I'm not using my system. I use them too often for them to accumulate a lot of dust. The occasional dusting the wife does plus a hepa filter helps out greatly.
Instead of the sheet for your dust management -- @UntilThen has a dust zapper perhaps he'll lend you
Impressive looking!I see you took notice of my Selectaphone 3000 with selectomatic random play rotating carousel.
pedestal and headphone cover (sold separately) . For the HP's in my rotation.
Holo Audio May just arrived two days ago! Now the chain is "complete"! I don't know if this system will stay the same forever but I'm enjoying it immensely.
I like having the monitor a bit lower than my normal eye level so I can just raise my eyes from the monitor and instantly enjoy the expansive view while listening to ridiculously high quality music. The sensation gets surreal late into the night, when everything has quieted down and it's just the city lights glimmering, silently. Then music just flows through you.
It's not really possible to do this during daylight. My days are hectic. Also because it gets way too bright, and I can't see crap on the monitor without blinds..
Your setup never ceases to amaze me man… That view day and night is such a stunner too.I thought WA33 was pretty damn nice. But then power amps have taken everything to the next level. Nautilus is a stunner. It's puts so, so much emotion into everything. It also has a ridiculous soundstage (with certain tubes). It makes my HD600 sound like HD800.

I will like all your head-fi stations posts because of the Fostex HP-V8 you restored. I love the aesthetics of that thing, although I'll never buy it (also is difficult to find, like I remember from your restoration)... BTW, incredible headphones...
One of the never ending arguments on head-fi is whether a speaker amp is required to drive Susvara fully, so I connect my spare Naim XS2 for some experiments again.
Simple answer - the 60W Naim provides more authority to Susvara with a more expanded soundstage, but I love it more with my 2W Fostex HP-V8 more with unbeatable transparency, speed and resolution.
