things added since my last pic...  the cover on the turntable, a project switch box to switch the Lyr from the computer to the TT without moving wires all the time, more records, more record storage, and dust lots of dust.  Still a work in progress.

Nice I like that you really want to test things for yourself

Thanx.  Ya, I do.  I like this hobby as costs are generally much lower to get fantastic quality.  So, I try a lot of things out.  My problem is I never sell anything.  check out my sig; I still own everything there.
 
That looks like a cable-management nightmare, but you're definitely doing the hobby right. You've got headphones and source equipment with sound signatures all over the place.

 
Believe it of not, using that lamp snaking the cable thru where the lamphead is connected to the arm, it's really not that bad at all.  And you're very right about the greatly varying signatures.  
 
now you can start selling, and buying, and selling again, and buying again... again and again...

that's my problem.  I've got a bit of "hoarder" in me.  I only buy; never sell.
 
  I like your style... It is always nice to be able to try different headphones and associated equipment to figure out what works best for you. It is the only real way to do it. 

 
thanx,  And the search goes on... :wink:  Mostly kidding.  I'm very happy.  But I'll tell you, there's probably 10 headphones from $200 to $1500 I have on my "I really want" list.  And it's likely I'll end-up getting 1/2 of them over the upcoming years.

You definitely need a crossover and foam dampening in those Jmax's, night and day difference especially for the 165's I have. Good bookshelf's that rivals some of the $450-500 speakers I've heard. 

The foam damping I have but haven't installed yet, I've got to pull the whole thing apart because we're shifting states soon, so I'll get that done then.
 
The crossover... what needs changing on it? I haven't looked at it much yet, and it is only for very quiet listening at the moment, but that will change.

Finally cleaned my desk, so I figured I might as well take some pictures:

 
Obligatory tube glow:
