How exactly do Wacom tablets work? Do you draw on that while looking at your screen? I guess it could be somethingt to get used to but sounds really tacky/annoying/quirky IMO.

Wacom tablets are just like a mouse pad, but you use a pen instead of a mouse, and you can apply different levels of pressure, creating various levels of stroke widths.

It's kinda tricky to get used to, mainly cause you don't look directly at the surface you're drawing on, like on paper, so you have to learn to compensate that.

I've been using them for 10+ years. I don't even think about it anymore.
 
There is the Cintique, which is a draw-on-screen version. I find looking down at a monitor more awkward than drawing normal while looking up. But some folks seem to like them.

The Cintiq is pretty cool, but i don't think it make such a great difference if you really know what you're doing. Plus, they're expensive as a car. (Or a flagship pair of cans + a balanced amp )

Cactus is blooming, good time for a picture.

Added an LCD-2 Bamboo (Rev. 3?), a Marantz CD6004, new tubes, and a plant. The latter just makes my system sound so much more organic

 

 

 
Despite the addition of the LCD-2 (and some further T50RP modding), the HD600 remains my favourite headphone... by far.
 

 

 

 

 
The last photo is my "headphone closet" where I keep unused headphones, tubes and whatnot. Keeps everything (mostly) dust-free.

Very nice
I see you have a balcony right next to your listening station as well. I love sitting outside on a nice day while listening with headphones - not from a portable system, but from my desktop setup.

Hmm, interesting. I would never draw with a mouse. How would any bit of accuracy be possible with that? Well you could practice but still. I have a Lenovo X200 convertible tablet and the stylus works well, but no pressure sensor or anything. Speaking from my experience right now I think I'd rather choose my thickness from a menu (as a beginner) as if I wanted to draw a long, thick line my hand would get tired from pushing down, especially if I were trying to do it with a very specific path and/or design and had many trials and errors.

Please tell me that you sometimes listen to your HD800s while jumping on that trampoline
