Is there someone who has a d5000. if so. What amp can you recommend? Im thinkin about to test the yulong u100

If you can find an AV123 x-head that works well, it's a bargain and sounds great with the D5000, I like it way better than my WA22 with that headphone.

Spend quite a bit of money (from my prospective) but its all fun. 

 
Amen to that!

Hehe, I love Meshuggah, and that has nothing to do with them being from my hometown
 
I'm using the squeezebox touch as a digital transport for all my cd's (converted to flac) and then using the new ipad with the iPeng app as the remote. Loving it compared to the iphone, since the fantastic screen resolution translates really well for the album art.

What an awesome setup!  I bet that would look pretty impressive with the iPad as remote control (makes me wonder how much loner those expensive universal remotes have left to live.)  I too am a big fan of Meshuggah, seeing them live was a mind blowing experience, having them in the same town must have its advantages.  Those speakers (and your living room generally) look very nice, which make/model are they?

Thanks, and yeah I agree about universal remotes. Logitech has started to transition though, they are releasing new products now with an iphone app that makes you able to use the app as a remote for everything that uses IR. There's a reciever that connects to your router that gets the wifi signal from the iphone and converts it to IR. Not sure how necessary this will be since many manufacturers are already making products with smartphone apps included, but it's good to see Logitech trying to broaden their range.
 
The speakers are german, Quadral Platinum ultra 9, and I'm powering them with a Harman Kardon HK990 with a Benchmark dac1 (which also is used for the headphone amps). They're very nice and suits my preferences, although not at all high-end by any means. Meshuggah is a very visceral experience at high volumes

Some small updates in my setup... Added new tubes to the CSP2 and a Sony MDR-Z1000. Also, sad as it is, decided that the HD600 will replace the T1...

Just wondering, how responsive is the iPad when using it to control the SB Touch? I've been thinking about getting a used iPad 2 as a remote for my Touch, but considering how sluggish it is to control via my Android phone, I'm hesitating...

Hmm, well I first used an older ipod touch 3rd gen as a remote, and the app was definately a bit laggy, but after I got an iphone 4S and later on, the new ipad, I've had no problems whatsoever with responsiveness with the ipeng app. I would say go for it, with the pricedrop, the ipad 2 is a steal if you get the smaller model.

That's good to know, thanks!

Any details on the curved wood stand at the right of the photo?

I've seen them around Head-Fi before but don't know the maker, price or where to purchase.

These are called the "Omega" headphone stands, made by Sieveking Sound, see http://www.sieveking-sound.de/equipment/detail/id/16
 
They look great, but I'm afraid they could possibly flatten the earpads over time...
