Amazing collection. Why do you use the Fun as dac and dynamic amp, over something like the NFB-10ES?
 


I had the NFB-10ES in another room until recently, using it as a DAC for my Forte 4a / Quad ESL-57's.  But I just recently (days before I took this picture) got an NFB-2, which is now the DAC in that system.  And I recently re-did the shelves a little, when I first put them in, the lower shelf was not deep enough to accommodate  amps like the Beta or the NFB-10.  So, after the NFB-2 arrived, and I had installed deeper shelving boards, I brought the NFB-10 back into this room and stuck it on a shelf.  At some point I will take the FUN out of the "current listening" spot and put in the NFB10.
 
Part of it is just laziness. There's a bunch of gear, it works, so I'll use that until some day when I have a couple of extra cups of coffee.....and I switch stuff around.
 
I know, way more detail than you wanted, but....

I had a similar problem with my glass desk, so I just removed the keyboard tray, pushed the monitor all the way back and now both the keyboard and mouse are on top of the desk.  I couldn't imagine having my hands at different heights.

I put the monitor on its wooden stand so I can have room for a textbook or notebook where the mouse is.

That's definitely a problem with my setup; no room for homework/textbooks.  I use my lap

  I use to use my lap on my old piece of crap desk, but this new desk is over five feet wide and has two top sections.  The one I don't use for textbooks has my cardboard box headphone stand on it.

Heh, time to start using wall mounts guys.



Bah.  Just use the cardboard boxes from your headphone purchases.  I can fit almost all of my audio gear on it without any problem.

Overview:
 
 
 
I have :wink: to work here.
 
From where I sit (AKG K 701, B&W 683):
 
 
 
The guitar stand idea is from the high-end gallery here on Head-Fi. Thanks. :)
 
PC:
 

 
Used for work, games, and multimedia. Very quiet (modded Antec Fusion), and very fast (Core i5, SSD). On the DAC part, it has a very well-behaved Seasonic X-560 PSU to give the Xonar Essence ST clean power.
 
Amp (Yamaha A-S2000):
 

 
Sometimes, one really is enough.
 
(Edited to add some specifics.)

It's the Yamaha A-S2000. Bought for synergy with the 683, turned out to play rather well with the K 701, too. I guess they really meant it when they put "Headphone Amp for Low Impedance Drive" in the description.
