Like many of you, I have a few "stations" throughout my house...my wife hates it! This is one of mine in the basement...I've got a a few options for headphone listening on this setup. I love listening through my vintage Pioneer VSX-D1S integrated amp...it's a BEAST! Also have my Questyle CMA600i setup here and a SoundBlaster E5 DAC/Amp that I mostly use as a DAC into both the Rotel and Pioneer depending on which amp I want to listen to. Don't mind the speakers on the ground...new stands should be here any day.

I have a Carver cube amp + their famous tuner. Both look fantastic but neither works. They need service.

It would cost more to service them than I could sell if they were in working condition (a conundrum).
Have you ever talked with Mike at Hudson Valley Hi-Fi? Good man, revived my Sansui AU-5900!!!

A wise man once said "just because something is old doesn't mean it's valuable". Learn to let go...

Good luck with your new headphone. :wink:

Wow beautiful…what a place to listen to music.
Yeah no kidding!!!! I really wanted an Eames chair, but wifey said "are you out of your mind?" My response, of course, was "um, how long have you known me?".

that said, I settled for a nice comfy Stressless recliner.

But dang, that room!!! I'd park my butt on a wooden stool!!!!

Actually I did, but it wasn't about the Carver units. I had a bunch of other vintage gear (including some rather fine pieces) that I needed a buyer to pick it all up at a discount, check out/repair if necessary, then sell. We didn't get very far with that.

But thanks for the suggestion. I keep forgetting you live in downstate NY not terribly far from me. A very nice part of Dutchess County, from what my map tells me...

Since his Empyrean review, sometimes I like to watch this youtube channel. This video is so funny, specially at the beginning. He brought alternatives to the Eames chair at cheaper prices:
