wife and kids are away for 3 weeks! cleaned up the hse, cleared up all the toys and junk, moved the furniture around, and shifted out the big boy toys

going to hook up the REL sub and do some measurements for room correction later today. Dec should be a good month if the Raal tube amp and my new dac get delivered on time.

21-day weather forecast for Roastyville: => 95 dB

Those headphone stands

 

[gefski]

What headphones are these? Also a random headphones related question for anyone here. Why are headphones often referred to as "cans"? The only thing I can think of is a game kids used to play long ago with a tin can at each end of a string.

I remember A/B testing we did with two cans and various strings (cotton, nylon, etc.) That’s when I first learned that cables make a difference.

Decided to sell my svs sb 3000 sub, and upgraded the Auralic Altair G1 for the G2.1

Cans can make a difference, too. Especially, those with the designation b-e-e-r…..

Thanks man!
oops, I have no idea what kind of wood it is...

It's not maple. The grain and figure are all wrong for maple (which is nearly featureless). Besides, I see several large strips of sapwood there...never saw that with the maple I worked with.

Probably my final setup for the next few years.. few changes like cables will be done and a new lowboard

Impressive setup! But why no Audeze planar?

Auralic Altair G1 for the G2.1

how are you liking that upgrade? worth the difference?
I'm thinking of upgrading my Aries G1 to G2.1 as well (with the PSU upgrade probably)

Thanks a lot, Audeze is an awesome brand with great headphones, unfortunately I've always been put off by the weight.

Yes, comfort is important and not that your current cans are subpar LoL

Totally worth it! As for the psu upgrade, i don´t think is worth it for the G2.1 models.

Does anyone have an electrical chimney near his setup (just for the looks not for the heating)?

With the new setup and the incoming stressless Mayfair I now look for further things that can improve the overall setup.
Chimneys with Opti V technology look interesting

@bcowen would say that it has to be maple - it sounds best!

Maple does sound best to be sure, but I agree with @Pharmaboy that the tabletop isn't maple. I like it a lot though -- very pretty. Fortunately it's not supporting any audio devices, so any negative sonic impact is substantially minimized.
