What speaker cables are you running? They look hardcore. Why so long though?

Straight Wire. I used to have the system in another room and had the components off to the side instead of the middle.


It's a MA6300 integrated and a MCD201.

Now hang up that artwork.

Thanks all.
 
Unfortunately I've had that thing on the floor for months now and have either not had a place for it (which I do now), or been too close to moving to a new place (which is what's going on now). 
 
It's an original done by a family friend that I'm very proud to own and it will be on the wall at the new place.

How are the MMGs?

 

[MorbidToaster]

Still goin' strong. 
 
They sound pretty great but I'm still curious about other speakers. I definitely see myself upgrading by early next year but I like the Maggie sound. They do take up a lot of space though and unless I move to a bigger place I might have to cross them off the list for apartment living.
 
All that being said they sound great with anything I've thrown at them so far. The bass is satisfying enough for most music but I'd recommend a sub for bass heavy stuff. The wall of sound they throw is pretty cool. Really different from my vintage JBLs.

Interesting, thanks.  I was considering them but seeing as I'm in an apartment, I'll probably pass.  I know panel speakers need air to breathe behind them too.  Space is far too expensive in NYC.

Sad truth about any speakers pretty much. If you're in a small room/apartment, like most of us (young) head-fiers, you are going to have bad acoustics.
Probably one of the many reasons we tend to go for headphones.

 

[MorbidToaster]

Even with mediocre acoustics speakers sound better than headphones a lot of the time. Floorstanders can be a bit much but I'd go for a nice set of small stand speakers.

Current desk set up, added the newly finished Bottlehead back into the mix.

dt 880! 

 

[liamstrain]

 
Yup. The 880/600 - really nice through the Crack. Ditto the HD600's. Closeup of the relevant portion.

^ I really like this setup, whats the DAC under the MBP?

 

[liamstrain]

Yulong D100. Really a great piece of kit.
