And your WA33EE/JPS isn't?

It is as well but just different.

My main "desk" space as of this morning. Still moving things around, planning to add KVMs/HDMI splitters/switches soon so I won't have to switch cables ever again.

Hyland Audio Jupiter One out and in use, connected to Hidizs DH80S. Empire Ears Legend X and Bravado Mk2 center, with Topping G5.

Below, left to right: Focal Elegia, Dan Clark Audio Aeon Closed X, Sendy Audio AIVA. Below them, Philips Fidelio X2HR, AKG Q701, HiFiMan HE-4XX, Martin Logan Mikros 90, and an Amazon Fire Cube.

Topping D90 MQA/A90/Gustard U16 connected via USB and stored in entertainment center just out of frame past the speaker to the right, with Koss ESP/950. Cables are long enough I can use the Koss comfortably in front of this PC.

View from the couch. Speakers are Wharfedale Sapphire SP-88s I got used dirt cheap. Topping D90 MQA/A90/Gustard U16 stack, Koss ESP/950, and Little Dot Mk2 tube amp/pre are all wired so they can be used with the TV, anything connected to the TV, Bluetooth, or either PC. Topping D50 is the "backup DAC" in case I want to use the D90 while my partners watch TV or listen to something else. Some random Sennheiser Bluetooth over-ears on the table my partners use sometimes.

View behind the larger OLED showing the second PC and Sumo Andromeda power amp.

Quick shot inside the entertainment center showing the main stack and Koss. The Lenovo tablet PC is connected to the U16 to be used as a source for Tidal and such if I don't want to use / interfere with what's going on with the other PCs.

Hyland Audio Jupiter One.

Had no idea these guys existed. Very interesting.

They are far and away my favorite open backs. Rich and warm and happy, without sounding muddy or lacking detail. I bought them used off the forums here a few years ago and will never sell them.

Keeping it simple:

Win 11 > FiiO K7 > Meze silver 4.4mm > Meze 109 Pro

Great value for a desktop system:

Jeez, get some audio gear, for god's sake. The place is empty!

OK, seriously: that's a lot of equipment. And what OLED is that?

On those occasions when I don't feel like 'tube amping' and its ancillary concerns ...

I want to guess... I am going with a LG 77" C9 (fingers crossed).

Also, @silent-circuit, I still have a pair of Wharfedale Sapphire SP-83 bookshelves. Those things are really fun. I am guessing the SP-88 is the same but more!

Nice setups!

My favourite combo. LCD 4 for euphoric listening and HEKSE for outright resolution, treble clarity and gaming.

It's a C9, but it's the 65" - the 77" is my next TV in a few years. Or something bigger, if that's realistically possible by then. I'll still give you full points for trying.

The "monitor" is a Sony Bravia XR42A90K. Lower max brightness and a stupid firmware quirk that means it'll only do 120Hz at 1080p and 4K (1440p@120 is very nice for gaming) that I'm sure will never be fixed cause... It's a Sony. Oh well, just means I have to figure out GPU- side scaling on modern Radeon cards at some point. I got it for $450 used in perfect shape, so no real complaints. It will pair beautifully with the inevitable PS5 Pro.

Yes, the SP-88 towers are basically just "more". They really make me miss my Martin Logan reQuests, though. Couldn't justify bringing them across the country a couple years ago, as they were in bad shape and needed new panels... But god did I love those things. CLX Arts. One day.

Similarly, the Sumo Andromeda is a really fun amp - James Bongiorno will always be my favorite of the "rockstar" amp designers, RIP - but it always sounds "fuzzy" compared with the Nelson Pass designed Nakamichi PA7-AII it "replaced" (read: that the power company killed). I'll go more up market eventually.

65" LG C9 and 42" Sony A90K. And thank you. It's years of saving (and irresponsible spending), and a lifetime of tech obsession.

The PC specs:

Mine (behind TV):
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU
Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE RGB HSF
Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24GB GPU
ASUS X570-PLUS WiFi ATX motherboard
64GB (2x32) G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-3600 CL18 (@CL16)
WD Black SN850X 4TB NVMe SSD
WD Black SN850X 2TB NVMe SSD

Currently using an old Rosewill Capstone Gold 1Kw ATX PSU, but given its age I'm going to order longer cables for my SilverStone SX1000R 1Kw Platinum SFX-L and swap them before the load pops it. The 7900XTX has insanely high transient spikes. It was putting the 850w Lian Li in to protection before, hence the case/component swap.

Secondary (mostly "hand me down" parts from my last big upgrade):
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU
Noctua low profile 120mm HSF
Zotac GeForce RTX 2080 8GB GPU
Gigabyte X570 I AORUS PRO WiFi ITX motherboard
32GB G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4-3200 CL18
2x2TB Intel 670p NVMe SSDs
500GB Samsung SATA SSD
8TB 7200RMP WD Black HDD
Lian Li 850w SFX PSU

So clean! I love it.

TY! I’m a big fan of “clean” looking setups. My OCD wouldn’t have it any other way
