Not too far away. I have a friend that is going to college in Eau Claire, so it is only a bit farther than that. At least there are a few of us in Wisconsin!

you guys are lucky you have a headphone place over there, i dont believe that we have any such place here in Los angeles =/

Taken 5 minutes ago, since the last picture I've added a Teac EQA-10 graphics eq (currently used as a source selector with the EQ bipass switch on) that I got at a flea-market for $2, and a Denon DCD-815 CD player I picked up at goodwill for...$4.97 (original price in 1994 was around $275 to $300), I almost felt bad buying it for that cheap, and even moreso now that I have discovered it to be in perfect working order.
Still listening through the SR60's, which oddly enough are probably the "weakest" link in my signal path now! Isn't that a little backwards?

 

 

[MorbidToaster]

They'll be fine. 
 
Also, nice set up there. I miss my DJ stuff...I need to start rebuilding it once I get some extra space in this place...
 
(Had to sell it because I couldn't afford storage...and it really helped with rent money ;~

Did you just put a headphone on an LP? Won't that damage it?


And what does it say on the mixing table (or whatever you call the thing)? STUPIDITY Would be painful?

I'm practically lit with envy right now.

I did get a free stereo amplifier, turntable and pair of speakers I found in the attic. But I don't know if that competes against your epic purchases.

Nice 2245 there. I just got a 2238 and popped it open to clean/replace the bulbs. Can't wait til it's in perfect working order again. Might have a 2250 coming my way soon, too. 
 
Also, I love EQs. People can complain all they want about them, but they're fun to fiddle with every now and then.

Goodluck with the 2250! I'm considering replacing the bulbs with LED's. Have you recapped the 2238? My 45 seems to be all okay after inspecting it visually and obviously based on how it sounds, (no obviously dried out capacitors or leaking capacitors) but I'm considering at least re-doing the amplifier and preamplifier boards, and replacing the huge output capacitors. I still drop by all the local thriftstores weekly hoping to score a motherload purchase. On audiokarma some people have found old 10xx series Marantz amps, Sansui's, jbl and Cerwin Vega speakers and even a few old McIntosh peices in thriftstores for dirt cheap. It's definitely worth it to check them out

Haven't done anything to it (including listening to it yet, although I know it works), but once I replace the bulbs I'll probably take it to a shop in town and see what they think. It's in alright shape, but it's been in storage.

My favorite place for headphone listening. The digital signal is received by an Apple Airport Express station placed below the coffee table.

Nice.  I did the same thing, with the Apple Airport Express under the table.  Clean and simple look!
 
Here's mine, again.  

 
 

 

 

[MorbidToaster]

Mine came in today and I want to ask you if your USB connects the docked device to your PC.
 
I think my USB port is defective because it seems completely useless.

I'm pretty happy with this set up. It's lively and engaging bit strong at times which is making me consider picking up a DT 880 if I can wrangle one for cheap.

Sure, dude, you're not even using a beryllium-tipped chromium fork with resonance damping. You have no idea what kind of sound you could be getting with your dinnerware.

That is hilarious.

Sounds like an excuse to upgrade with 99.999% pure silver neuron's with cotton dielectric myelin sheaths in the temporal lobe to prevent subconscious crosstalk
